Distributed package management using meta-scheduling
A system for package management includes an interface and a processor. The interface is to receive an indication to install a package. The processor is to determine a configured package using a set local configuration properties and using the package and to launch, using a metascheduler, a set of subschedulers to install a plurality of applications of the configured package.
1. A system for package management, comprising:
an interface to:
receive an indication to install a package; and
a processor configured to:
determine a configured package using a set local configuration properties and using the package; and
launch, using a metascheduler, a set of subschedulers to install a plurality of applications of the configured package, wherein a subscheduler is executed using a cluster node of a cluster, wherein the launching of the set of subschedulers comprises to:
cause instantiation of the subscheduler by requesting a metascheduler instantiate the subscheduler; and
cause installation for the configured package using the subscheduler, comprising to:
provide the configured package for application installation;
launch the application installation;
determine whether the installation is proceeding without error; and
in response to a determination that the installation is not proceeding without error, perform a remedial action.
2. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the processor is also to monitor the set of subschedulers.
3. A system as in claim 2 , wherein monitoring the set of sub schedulers detects a failure of the subscheduler of the set of subschedulers.
4. A system as in claim 3 , wherein the metascheduler restarts the subscheduler in the event that the failure of the subscheduler is detected.
5. A system as in claim 1 , wherein processor comprises a processor of a cluster manager of a cluster.
6. A system as in claim 5 , wherein the processor is also to monitor the metascheduler.
7. A system as in claim 6 , wherein monitoring the metascheduler detects a failure of the metascheduler.
8. A system as in claim 7 , wherein the cluster manager restarts the metascheduler in the event that the failure of the metascheduler is detected.
9. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the subscheduler installs an application of the plurality of application of the configured package on one or more nodes of the cluster.
10. A system as in claim 9 , wherein the subscheduler monitors performance of the application when executing a task.
11. A system as in claim 10 , wherein monitoring the performance of the application detects a failure of the application.
12. A system as in claim 10 , wherein monitoring the performance of the application detects under performance.
13. A system as in claim 10 , wherein monitoring the performance of the application detects idle resources.
14. A system as in claim 1 , wherein the subscheduler restarts the installation of the application in the event that the installation is not proceeding without error.
15. A method of package management, comprising:
receiving an indication to install a package; and
determining, using a processor, a configured package using a set local configuration properties and using the package; and
launching, using a metascheduler, a set of subschedulers to install a plurality of applications of the configured package, wherein a subscheduler is executed using a cluster node of a cluster, wherein the launching of the set of subschedulers comprises:
causing instantiation of the subscheduler by requesting a metascheduler instantiate the subscheduler; and
causing installation for the configured package using the subscheduler, comprising:
providing the configured package for application installation;
launching the application installation;
determining whether the installation is proceeding without error; and
in response to a determination that the installation is not proceeding without error, performing a remedial action.
16. A computer program product for package management, comprising: a non-transitory computer readable storage medium with computer instructions embodied thereon:
receiving an indication to install a package; and
determining a configured package using a set local configuration properties and using the package; and
launching, using a metascheduler, a set of subschedulers to install a plurality of applications of the configured package, wherein a subscheduler is executed using a cluster node of a cluster, wherein the launching of the set of subschedulers comprises:
causing instantiation of the subscheduler by requesting a metascheduler instantiate the subscheduler; and
causing installation for the configured package using the subscheduler, comprising:
providing the configured package for application installation;
launching the application installation;
determining whether the installation is proceeding without error; and
in response to a determination that the installation is not proceeding without error, performing a remedial action.
