Siddharth Seth commented on TEZ-2003:
-------------------------------------
Have created some high level sub-tasks. There's likely to be quite a few more -
some of which already exist as jiras. Working with multiple schedulers, or
using an external source with the current scheduler, handling error scenarios
differently etc.
[~hitesh] - I'll try posting more details for this. The general theme is
already in the description though, and a bunch of it will materialize when
going into details. It'll be good to do this work on a branch. Will send out a
mail to the dev group about creating a branch.
> [Umbrella] Allow Tez to co-ordinate execution to external services
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TEZ-2003
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-2003
> Project: Apache Tez
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Siddharth Seth
>
> The Tez engine itself takes care of co-ordinating execution - controlling how
> data gets routed (different connection patterns), fault tolerance, scheduling
> of work, etc.
> This is currently tied to TaskSpecs defined within Tez and on containers
> launched by Tez itself (TezChild).
> The proposal is to allow Tez to work with external services instead of just
> containers launched by Tez. This involves several more pluggable layers to
> work with alternate Task Specifications, custom launch and task allocation
> mechanics, as well as custom scheduling sources.
> A simple example would be a simple a process with the capability to execute
> multiple Tez TaskSpecs as threads. In such a case, a container launch isn't
> really need and can be mocked. Sourcing / scheduling containers would need to
> be pluggable.
> A more advanced example would be LLAP (HIVE-7926;
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12665704/LLAPdesigndocument.pdf).
> This works with custom interfaces - which would need to be supported by Tez,
> along with a custom event model which would need translation hooks.
> Tez should be able to work with a combination of certain vertices running in
> external services and others running in regular Tez containers.
