Upgrade the Hadoop coordinators to Debian Buster
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This is probably the most challenging of the Buster upgrades :)

In the past we just took an outage for the time needed for the reimage (namely stopping hive/oozie and some functionalities of Druid/Superset/etc..) so may do the same this time as well, but we could try to test our procedure for the failover of all services, including the Meta database:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Systems/Cluster/Mysql_Meta#Failover (but replacing the db1108 bits with an-coord1002)

We can proceed with an-coord1002's upgrade first, preserving data on partitions (except root), and then quickly test it via a rapid hive failover. Then we could move all the Analytics Meta clients to 1002, as well as hive/presto/etc.., and finally reimage it.

[operations/puppet@production] install_server: set Buster for an-(master|coord) nodes

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/677122

The an-coord1002 host is now running Buster, puppet looks working (already tested in Hadoop test). The only thing that I had to do was to chown mysql:mysql /srv/sqldata, since after the reimage the mysql user got another id (same thing for the group).

On thing that differs from 1001 and 1002 is the partition layout. The former has two separate partitions for /srv and /var/lib/mysql, meanwhile the latter only a single /srv partition.

/dev/mapper/an--coord1001--vg-srv    102G   46G   56G  46% /srv
/dev/mapper/an--coord1001--vg-mysql   59G   49G   11G  82% /var/lib/mysql

Since the Data Persistence team stores things under /srv, I'd suggest to make it uniform and fold the separate /var/lib/mysql partition in /srv. We could do something like:

  • stop all services etc..
  • copy /var/lib/mysql under /srv
  • delete the /var/lib/mysql partition
  • expand the /srv volume and ext4 partition

This could be done before reimage, and then we could re-use the partman recipe that I used for 1002 (preserving /srv only) also for 1001. I know that @Ottomata has some reservations about /srv so I'll not proceed :)

Another thought - I don't think that we are completely ready for a database failover, since it will surely require some prep work. We could simply drain the cluster and announce a half an hour outage for some tools (like Superset), reimage to Buster with the new partition layout and then set up a failover day as separate project later on.

I know that @Ottomata has some reservations about /srv so I'll not proceed :)

Oh oh oh, no no my reservations are not valid here. We use /srv at WMF and we should be consistent and do it too. My reservations are more philosophical about that choice for WMF than about if we should do it for our analytics systems.

I'd suggest to make it uniform and fold the separate /var/lib/mysql partition in /srv.

+1 let's do it.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/679368

I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25020 to Hive upstream, it seems that the buster mariadb jdbc driver doesn't play well with the Metastore. For the moment I have added a special component to buster called component/libmysql-dev, forward porting libmysql-dev from stretch to buster-wikimedia to use its jars as interim solution.

[operations/dns@master] Move analytics-hive to an-coord1002

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/681359

Procedure:

  • drain the cluster from applications
  • stop druid load timers on an-launcher1002
  • disable puppet on an-coord1001
  • disable replication on an-coord1002 and db1108
  • stop hive, presto, oozie, mysql on an-coord1001
  • reshape partitions
mkdir /srv/sqldata
mv /var/lib/mysql/* /srv/sqldata
umount /var/lib/mysql
umount /srv
lvremove /dev/an-coord1001-vg/mysql
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/an-coord1001-vg/srv
resize2fs /dev/an-coord1001-vg/srv

The above assumes a reuse partman recipe for an-coord1001, I am going to create one now.

All done! I'll follow up on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25020 but we should be good :)

@Ottomata @razzi there is some potential clean up to do in /srv:

elukey@an-coord1001:~$ sudo du -hs /srv/* | sort -h
4.0K	/srv/tmp
16K	/srv/lost+found

Can you double check if it is ok to drop?
