Apache Aurora

Getting Started

To replicate a real cluster environment as closely as possible, we use Vagrant to launch a complete Aurora cluster in a virtual machine.

Prerequisites

You can start a local cluster by running:

vagrant up

Once started, several services should be running:

You can SSH into the machine with vagrant ssh and execute aurora client commands using the aurora command. A pre-installed clusters.json file refers to your local cluster as devcluster, which you will use in client commands.

Deleting your local cluster

Once you are finished with your local cluster, or if you would otherwise like to start from scratch, you can use the command vagrant destroy to turn off and delete the virtual file system.

Rebuilding components

If you are changing Aurora code and would like to rebuild a component, you can use the aurorabuild command on your vagrant machine to build and restart a component. This is considerably faster than destroying and rebuilding your VM.

aurorabuild accepts a list of components to build and update. You may invoke the command with no arguments to get a list of supported components.

 vagrant ssh -c 'aurorabuild client'

Troubleshooting

Most of the vagrant related problems can be fixed by the following steps: * Destroying the vagrant environment with vagrant destroy * Killing any orphaned VMs (see AURORA-499) with virtualbox UI or VBoxManage command line tool * Cleaning the repository of build artifacts and other intermediate output with git clean -fdx * Bringing up the vagrant environment with vagrant up
