DRAINTASKER - clears filling disks
================================================================

* Draintasker wiki:
https://webarchive.jira.com/wiki/display/WEBOPS/Draintasker
* Draintasker bugs:
https://launchpad.net/archivewidecrawl/+bugs

supports "draining" a running crawler along two paths:

1) dtmon: IAS3-to-petabox (paired storage)
2) th-dtmon: catalog-direct-to-thumpers (Santa Clara MD)

run like this:

$ ssh home
$ screen
$ ssh -A crawler
$ cd /path/draintasker
$ svn up
$ emacs dtmon.yml, save-as: /path/drain.yml
$ dtmon.py /path/drain.yml | tee -a /path/drain.log

PROCESSING

monitor job and drain (with dtmon.py) - while DRAINME file exists,
pack warcs (PACKED), make manifests (MANIFEST), launch transfers
(TASK), verify transfers (TOMBSTONE), and finally, delete verified
warcs, then sleep before trying again.

under-the-hood:

dtmon.py config
|
'-> s3-drain-job job_dir xfer_job_dir max_size warc_naming
|
'-> pack-warcs.sh => PACKED
'-> make-manifests.sh => MANIFEST
'-> s3-launch-transfers.sh => LAUNCH TASK [RETRY] SUCCESS TOMBSTONE
'-> delete-verified-warcs.sh => poof, no w/arcs!

th-dtmon.sh config
|
'-> drain-job job_dir xfer_job_dir thumper max_size warc_naming
|
'-> pack-warcs.sh => PACKED
'-> make-manifests.sh => MANIFEST
'-> launch-transfers.sh => LAUNCH, TASK
'-> verify-transfers.sh => SUCCESS, TOMBSTONE
'-> delete-verified-warcs.sh => poof, no w/arcs!

get status of prerequisites and disk capacity like this:

$ get-status.sh crawldata_dir xfer_dir

some advice:

1) if there are old draintasker procs, kill them.
2) if files in the way, investigate and move aside,
eg mv LAUNCH.open LAUNCH.1, mv ERROR ERROR.1
good to number each failure/error file
3) check the status of your disks
./get-status.sh
4) (optional) test petabox-to-thumper path on single series
./launch-transfers.sh
5) log into home and open a screen session
6) in screen, ssh crawler, cd /path/draintasker/, svn up
7) run dtmon.py to continuously drain each job+disk
[screen]
cd /path/draintasker
./dtmon.py /path/disk1.yml
[screen]
cd /path/draintasker
./dtmon.py /path/disk3.yml

CONFIGURATION

directory structure

crawldata /{1,3}/crawling
rsync_path /{1,3}/incoming
job_dir /{crawldata}/{job_name}
xfer_job_dir /{rsync_path}/{job_name}
warc_series {xfer_job_dir}/{warc_series}

depending on config, your warcs might be written in e.g.

/1/crawling/{crawljob}/warcs
/3/crawling/{crawljob}/warcs

and be "packed" into

/1/incoming/{crawljob}/{warc_series}/MANIFEST
/3/incoming/{crawljob}/{warc_series}/MANIFEST

DEPENDENCIES

dtmon.py (IAS3-to-petabox)
+ HOME/.ias3cfg (when using dtmon.py)
+ add [incoming_x] stanzas to /etc/rsyncd.conf (see wiki)
th-dtmon.sh (catalog-direct-to-thumper)
+ ~/.wgetrc with your archive.org user cookies (see wiki)
+ ensure user petabox user exists: /home-local/petabox
+ PETABOX_HOME=/home/user/petabox (codebase from svn)
+ get petabox authorized_keys from "draintasking" crawler
@crawling08:~$ scp /home-local/petabox/.ssh/authorized_keys\
root@ia400131:/home-local/petabox/.ssh/authorized_keys
+ add [incoming_x] stanzas to /etc/rsyncd.conf (see wiki)

PREREQUISITES

DRAINME {job_dir}/DRAINME
FINISH_DRAIN {job_dir}/FINISH_DRAIN
PACKED {warc_series}/PACKED
MANIFEST {warc_series}/MANIFEST
LAUNCH {warc_series}/LAUNCH
TASK {warc_series}/TASK
TOMBSTONE {warc_series}/TOMBSTONE

if you see a RETRY file, eg RETRY.1284217446 the suffix is the epoch
time when a non-blocking retry was scheduled. if this file exists,
then the retry was attempted at some time after that. you can get the
human readable form of that time with the date cmd, like so:

date -d @1284217446
Sat Sep 11 15:04:06 UTC 2010

DRAIN DAEMON

dtmon.py run s3-drain-job periodically
th-dtmon.sh run drain-job periodically
