I realize the JC runs in the AM YARN container.  The SamzaContainers run in 
their own YARN containers, which may or may not be on the same node as the AM 
in the YARN grid.  My point is simply that when they are not, it does not work. 
 This is because the AM is telling the SamzaContainers to fetch the config from 
127.0.0.1.

Hi Tommy,
I am not sure what you mean below:

this context by container I meant the SamzaContainer.  What we are seeing
is that jobs only start when YARN happens to place the AM and
SamzaContainer(s) on the same node.Which is increasingly unlikely as you
increase container count for your job and/or expand your YARN grid.

Any YARN application finds a yarn container to run the AM. In our case, JC
is running in the same container as the AM. So, I don't understand why this
will cause an issue on cluster expansion. I can understand your concern if
JC and AM are running on 2 separate containers.

Please correct me if I have misunderstood your statement.

Thanks!

Sorry, the term "container" is overloaded.  In this context by container I
meant the SamzaContainer.  What we are seeing is that jobs only start when
YARN happens to place the AM and SamzaContainer(s) on the same node.  Which
is increasingly unlikely as you increase container count for your job
and/or expand your YARN grid.

even if we can't get a better address for the AM from YARN, we could at

+ @Yi, @Navina,

Also, I think this fix should go to the 0.10.0 release.

What do you guys think?

I think this is not 100% correct. AM can communicate with NM through
NMClientAsync
<
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/client/api/async/NMClientAsync.html


<


https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/yarn/client/api/async/NMClientAsync.html>
to
get container status, though Samza does not implement the CallbackHandler.

The NM (and hence, by extension the container) heartbeats to the RM, not
the AM. AM gets notified of container status from the RM.
The AM starts / stops /releases a container process by communicating to
the
NM.

Subject: Re: Coordinator URL always 127.0.0.1

Hi Tommy,
Yi is right. Container start is coordinated by the AppMaster using an
NMClient. Container host name and port is provided by the RM during
allocation.
In Yarn (at least, afaik), when the node joins a cluster, the NM


registers


itself with the RM. So, the NM might still be using
getLocalhost.getAddress().

I don't know of any other way to programmatically fetch the machine's
hostname (apart from some hacky shell commands).

Cheers,
Navina

Hi, Tommy,

Yeah, I agree that the current implementation is not bullet-proof to


any


different networking configuration on the host. As for the AM <->


container


communication, if I am not mistaken, it is through the NMClient and


the


node HTTP address is wrapped within the Container object returned from


RM.


I am not very familiar with that part of source code. Navina may be

Hi Yi,
Thanks a lot for your reply.  I don't doubt we can get it to work by
mucking with the networking configuration, but to me this feels

workaround, not a solution.


InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()


is


not a reliable way of obtaining an IP that other machines can

to.


Just today I tested on several Linux distros and it did not work on


any


of


them.  Can we do something more robust here?  How does the container
communicate status to the AM?

Subject: Re: Coordinator URL always 127.0.0.1

Hi, Tommy,

I think that it might be a commonly asked question regarding to


multiple


IPs on a single host. A common trick w/o changing code is (copied


from


SO:













http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2381316/java-inetaddress-getlocalhost-returns-127-0-0-1-how-to-get-real-ip


)

{code}

 1.

 Find your host name. Type: hostname. For example, you find your


hostname


 is mycomputer.xzy.com
 2.

 Put your host name in your hosts file. /etc/hosts . Such as

 10.50.16.136 mycomputer.xzy.com


{code}

Am I off base here?  Because I don't see how this is ever going to

scenarios where the AM is on a different node than the containers.
