Unable to launch Alluxio on Kubernetes

6/8/2018

I am trying alluxio 1.7.1 with docker 1.13.1, kubernetes 1.9.6, 1.10.1

I created the alluxio docker image as per the instructions on https://www.alluxio.org/docs/1.7/en/Running-Alluxio-On-Docker.html

Then I followed the https://www.alluxio.org/docs/1.7/en/Running-Alluxio-On-Kubernetes.html guide to run alluxio on kubernetes. I was able to bring up the alluxio master pod properly, but when I try to bring up alluxio worker I get the error that Address in use. I have not modified anything in the yamls which I downloaded from alluxio git. Only change I did was for alluxio docker image name and api version in yamls for k8s to match properly.

I checked ports being used in my k8s cluster setup, and even on the nodes also. There are no ports that alluxio wants being used by any other process, but I still get address in use error. I am unable to understand what I can do to debug further or what I should change to make this work. I don't have any other application running on my k8s cluster setup. I tried with single node k8s cluster setup and multi node k8s cluster setup also. I tried k8s version 1.9 and 1.10 also.

There is definitely some issue from alluxio worker side which I am unable to debug.

This is the log that I get from worker pod:

The alluxio-worker container is always restarting and failing again and again for the same error.

Please guide me what I can do to solve this.

Thanks

On the node where your worker is running, it seems that you have a port already in use.

Try to find which process is using it:

sudo lsof -n -i :80 | grep LISTEN

I read the alluxio configuration files: try with ports 19998, 19999, 29996, 29998, 29999 substituting 80 in the above command.

The problem was short circuit unix domain socket path. I was using whatever was present by default in alluxio git. In the default integration/kubernetes/conf/alluxio.properties.template the address for ALLUXIO_WORKER_DATA_SERVER_DOMAIN_SOCKET_ADDRESS was not complete. This is properly explained in https://www.alluxio.org/docs/1.7/en/Running-Alluxio-On-Docker.html for enabling short circuit reads in alluxio worker containers using unix domain sockets. Just because of a missing complete path for unix domain socket the alluxio worker was not able to come up in kubernetes when short circuit read was enabled for alluxio worker.

When I corrected the path in integration/kubernetes/conf/alluxio.properties for ALLUXIO_WORKER_DATA_SERVER_DOMAIN_SOCKET_ADDRESS=/opt/domain/d Then things started wokring properly. Now also some tests are failing but alteast the alluxio setup is properly up. Now I will debug why some tests are failing.

I have submitted this fix in alluxio git for them to merge it in master branch. https://github.com/Alluxio/alluxio/pull/7376
