Ansible Scripts to Deploy Zookeeper, Kafka and YARN on an Linux-based env

Command execution order:

1. ansible-playbook -i openstack_inventory ansible_kafka.yml
2. ansible-playbook -i openstack_inventory ansible_prepare_yarn.yml
3. ansible-playbook -i openstack_inventory ansible_yarn.yml

Artefact versions:

• kafka_version: kafka_2.12-3.0.0
• zookeeper_version: zookeeper-3.5.5
• hadoop_version: hadoop-3.3.1
• Java JDK 8

Known issues during the process

• Kafka has some permission issues starting. I have fixed them in the install.yml.
• Major issue is the version of hadoop. According to this: https://www.morling.dev/blog/bytebuffer-and-the-dreaded-nosuchmethoderror/ i have fixed it manually. The hadoop-yarn-common-3.3.1.jar needs a rebuild with some changes.
• Additional issue related to this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58300578/how-to-fix-resource-changed-on-src-filesystem-issue/58405426#58405426. Fixed and together with the above change, copy the jar hadoop-yarn-common-3.3.1.jar to {soft_link_base_path}/hadoop/share/hadoop/yarn/hadoop-yarn-common-3.3.1.jar.
• Also the yarn.properties file is needed to run the samza job.
• Lessons learned:
  • Package your app and run everything from the yarn resource manager VM.
  • Copy you tar.gz app to all the nodes at the specific path in the yarn.properties file (from yarn.package.path).

yarn.package.path="<your packaged app>-dist.tar.gz"
