Sahara client this is a client for openstack sahara api. theres a python api (the saharaclient module), and a command-line script (installed as sahara). each implements the entire openstack sahara api. youll need credentials for an openstack cloud that implements the data processing api, in order to use the sahara client. you may want to read the openstack sahara docs -- the overview, at least -- to get an idea of the concepts. by understanding the concepts this library should make more sense. contents:
Sahara Client provides a list of Python interfaces to communicate with the Sahara REST API. Sahara Client enables users to perform most of the existing operations like retrieving template lists, creating Clusters, submitting EDP Jobs, etc.
To start using the Sahara Client users have to create an instance of the Client class. The client constructor has a list of parameters to authenticate and locate Sahara endpoint.
auth_url - Keystone URL that will be used for authentication.
sahara_url - Sahara REST API URL to communicate with.
service_type - Sahara service name in Keystone catalog. (Default: data_processing)
endpoint_type - Desired Sahara endpoint type. (Default: publicURL)
username - Username for Keystone authentication.
api_key - Password for Keystone authentication.
project_name - Keystone Tenant name.
project_id - Keystone Tenant id.
input_auth_token - Keystone authorization token.
Important!
It is not a mandatory rule to provide all of the parameters above. The minimum number should be enough to determine Sahara endpoint, check user authentication and tenant to operate in.
If a user already has a Keystone authentication token, it may be used in input_auth_token parameter.
from saharaclient.api.client import Client as saharaclient
sahara = saharaclient(sahara_url="http://sahara:8386/v1.1",
project_id="11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555",
input_auth_token="66666666-7777-8888-9999-000000000000")
In this case no other authentication parameters are required and input_auth_token has a higher priority than other parameters. Otherwise user has to provide:
auth_url
username
api_key
any of project_name or project_id
from saharaclient.api.client import Client as saharaclient
sahara = saharaclient(auth_url="http://keystone:5000/v2.0",
sahara_url="http://sahara:8386/v1.1",
username="user",
api_key="PaSsWoRd",
project_name="demo-project")
If user has a direct URL pointing to Sahara REST API, it may be specified as sahara_url. If this parameter is missing, Sahara client will use Keystone Service Catalog to find the endpoint. There are two parameters: service_type and endpoint_type to configure endpoint search. Both parameters have default values.
from saharaclient.api.client import Client as saharaclient
sahara = saharaclient(auth_url="http://keystone:5000/v2.0",
username="user",
api_key="PaSsWoRd",
project_name="demo-project",
service_type="non-default-service-type",
endpoint_type="internalURL")
All Sahara operations should be performed in one of OpenStack tenants. There are two parameters: project_name and project_id which allow to specify a tenant. project_id parameter has a higher priority.
Sahara Client has a list of fields to operate with:
plugins
clusters
cluster_templates
node_group_templates
images
data_sources
job_binaries
job_binary_internals
job_executions
Each of this fields is a reference to a Manager for a corresponding group of REST calls.
The following methods are allowed for all Managers:
list() - Get a list of all objects of specified type.
get(id) - Get an object by id. (In case of plugins, the Plugin name should be provided)
delete(id) - Delete an object by id. (Available only for templates and EDP objects)
get_version_details(plugin_name, hadoop_version) - Get the list of Services and Service Parameters for a specified Plugin and Hadoop Version
convert_to_cluster_template(plugin_name, hadoop_version, template_name, filecontent) - This call is used to create Cluster Templates directly, avoiding Cluster Template mechanism.
update_image(image_id, user_name, descr) - Create or update an Image in Image Registry.
unregister_image(image_id) - Remove an Image from Sahara Image Registry.
update_tags(image_id, new_tags) - Updates Image tags. new_tags list will replace currently assigned tags.
create(name, plugin_name, hadoop_version, flavor_id, description, volumes_per_node, volumes_size, node_processes, node_configs, floating_ip_pool) - Create a Node Group Template with specified parameters.
create(name, plugin_name, hadoop_version, description, cluster_configs, node_groups, anti_affinity, net_id) - Create a Cluster Template with specified parameters.
create(name, plugin_name, hadoop_version, cluster_template_id, default_image_id, is_transient, description, cluster_configs, node_groups, user_keypair_id, anti_affinity, net_id) - Launch a Cluster with specified parameters.
scale(cluster_id, scale_object) - Scale an existing Cluster. scale_object format is described in REST API doc.
create(name, description, data_source_type, url, credential_user, credential_pass) - Create a Data Source with specified parameters.
create(name, data) - Create a Job Binary Internal from provided data.
create(name, url, description, extra) - Create a Job Binary with specified parameters.
get_file(job_binary_id) - Download a Job Binary
create(name, type, mains, libs, description) - Create a Job with specified parameters.
get_configs(job_type) - Get config hints for a specified Job type.
create(job_id, cluster_id, input_id, output_id, configs) - Launch a Job with specified parameters.
Code is hosted in review.o.o and mirrored to github and git.o.o . Submit bugs to the Sahara project on launchpad and to the Sahara client on launchpad_client. Submit code to the openstack/python-saharaclient project using gerrit.
