There are a couple new versions for both Apache Mesos and Mesosphere Marathon. Since one of the great things about using VMware Big Data Extensions to handle the deployment and management of clusters is the ability to ensure control of the packages and versions within the SDLC. There were a few changes to be made within Chef to support Mesos v0.22.0 and Marathon 0.8.0* within the Big Data Extensions management server.
First thing, you need to grab the new RPM files and place them into your management server under /opt/serengeti/www/yum/repos/mesos/0.21.0 directory. For my own installation, I created a new directory called mesos/0.22.0 and copied the packages that had not been updated into it — but that decision is up to you. Once the files are there, you can choose whether to increment the version number in /opt/serengeti/www/distros/manifest file:
44 {
45 "name": "mesos",
46 "vendor": "MESOS",
47 "version": "0.22.0",
48 "packages": [
49 {
50 "package_repos": [
51 "https://bde.localdomain/yum/mesos.repo"
52 ],
53 "roles": [
54 "zookeeper",
55 "mesos_master",
56 "mesos_slave",
57 "mesos_docker",
58 "mesos_chronos",
59 "mesos_marathon"
60 ]
61 }
62 ]
63 },
If you choose to update the manifest file, make sure you restart tomcat on the BDE management server. You normally would be done at this point, but there were changes in where Mesos and Marathon install two files that we’ll need to account for. The old files were in subdirectories under /usr/local and are now placed in subdirectories of /usr.
/opt/serengeti/chef/cookbooks/mesos/templates/default/marathon.conf.erb:
9 exec /usr/bin/marathon
/opt/serengeti/chef/cookbooks/mesos/default/slave.rb:
78 template '/usr/etc/mesos/mesos-slave-env.sh' do 79 source 'mesos-slave-env.sh.erb' 80 variables( 81 zookeeper_server_list: zk_server_list, 82 zookeeper_port: zk_port, 83 zookeeper_path: zk_path, 84 logs_dir: node['mesos']['common']['logs'], 85 work_dir: node['mesos']['slave']['work_dir'], 86 isolation: node['mesos']['isolation'], 87 ) 88 notifies :run, 'bash[restart-mesos-slave]', :delayed 89 end
Update the files in the Chef server by running ‘knife cookbook upload -a‘ and you are all set.
Go forth and deploy your updated Apache Mesos 0.22.0 and Marathon 0.8.0 clusters!
*Marathon 0.8.1 has been released but there has not been a RPM file created by Mesosphere yet.
