Hi everybody, At CRS4, Distributed Computing Group (http://dc.crs4.it), we developed and tested a simple patch that adds Grid Engine support to HOD. Since porting HOD to SGE is listed in the Project Suggestions page at:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ProjectSuggestions we decided to share the patch with the community. The patch is available as an attachment to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6369 After patching, HOD passes all unit tests at our site, and we tested the SGE driver on a production cluster consisting of about 400 nodes. The patch should preserve Torque functionality, although we were not able to test this on production. *NOTE*: the patch is for the official hadoop-0.20.1 HOD release. It should be easy, however, to generate patches for other versions. To patch, simply download the patch from the above JIRA link and run: cd ${HADOOP_HOME}/src/contrib && patch -p0 <hod_ge.patch -- Simone Leo Distributed Computing group Advanced Computing and Communications program CRS4 POLARIS - Building #1 Piscina Manna I-09010 Pula (CA) - Italy e-mail: [email protected] http://www.crs4.it
