Thanks a lot Kishor.I think I can treat HDFS directory as resource and mode of
filename's hash as tasks, is there any better way of doing it in Helix?
ThanksShekhar

- Currently, Helix ensures even distribution of partitions within a
resource, not across resources. Is it possible for you to add tasks as part of
the same resource?
- &3 Yes, you can start the controller as part of your process. But since
you said you launch this on Kubernetes every 5 minutes, I suggest keeping
controller and zookeeper running all the time. Controllers are light weight and
you can get away with a very an entry level container spec. It's ok to launch
Helix Participants every 5 minutes.
You should consider using Helix Task Framework. It provides all the
functionalities you need.

I have a standalone java app(containerised), it reads data from HDFS, does some
transformations and write data to remote storage. I want to make it scalable by
launching multiple instances of this java app. My problem is how to assign
tasks among these instances. can helix solve this problem?
If yes, can you please help me with following
- I referred helix quickstart example and created 1 resource per file but
node1 got assigned master for all resources, is it because of simple
StateModelDefinition used in quickstart example or I am using it wrong way or
is it some limitation of helix
- I want to avoid running a separate controller process, so If I run start
controller as part of setup will helix be able to elect master controller (in
standalone mode), is it advisable to run tens of controllers in distributed
mode.
- I schedule my app every five minutes using kubernetes cron, is it
advisable to use helix for such short lived processes
ThanksShekhar
