YARN Timeline Server
\[ {{{./index.html}Go Back}} \]
%{toc|section=1|fromDepth=0|toDepth=3}
* Overview
Storage and retrieval of applications' current as well as historic
information in a generic fashion is solved in YARN through the Timeline
Server (previously also called Generic Application History Server). This
serves two responsibilities:
** Generic information about completed applications
Generic information includes application level data like queue-name, user
information etc in the ApplicationSubmissionContext, list of
application-attempts that ran for an application, information about each
application-attempt, list of containers run under each application-attempt,
and information about each container. Generic data is stored by
ResourceManager to a history-store (default implementation on a file-system)
and used by the web-UI to display information about completed applications.
** Per-framework information of running and completed applications
Per-framework information is completely specific to an application or
framework. For example, Hadoop MapReduce framework can include pieces of
information like number of map tasks, reduce tasks, counters etc.
Application developers can publish the specific information to the Timeline
server via TimelineClient from within a client, the ApplicationMaster
and/or the application's containers. This information is then queryable via
REST APIs for rendering by application/framework specific UIs.
* Current Status
Timeline sever is a work in progress. The basic storage and retrieval of
information, both generic and framework specific, are in place. Timeline
server doesn't work in secure mode yet. The generic information and the
per-framework information are today collected and presented separately and
thus are not integrated well together. Finally, the per-framework information
is only available via RESTful APIs, using JSON type content - ability to
install framework specific UIs in YARN isn't supported yet.
* Basic Configuration
Users need to configure the Timeline server before starting it. The simplest
configuration you should add in <<<yarn-site.xml>>> is to set the hostname of
the Timeline server:
+---+
<property>
<description>The hostname of the Timeline service web application.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.hostname</name>
<value>0.0.0.0</value>
</property>
+---+
* Advanced Configuration
In addition to the hostname, admins can also configure whether the service is
enabled or not, the ports of the RPC and the web interfaces, and the number
of RPC handler threads.
+---+
<property>
<description>Address for the Timeline server to start the RPC server.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.address</name>
<value>${yarn.timeline-service.hostname}:10200</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>The http address of the Timeline service web application.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.webapp.address</name>
<value>${yarn.timeline-service.hostname}:8188</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>The https address of the Timeline service web application.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.webapp.https.address</name>
<value>${yarn.timeline-service.hostname}:8190</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>Handler thread count to serve the client RPC requests.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.handler-thread-count</name>
<value>10</value>
</property>
+---+
* Generic-data related Configuration
Users can specify whether the generic data collection is enabled or not, and
also choose the storage-implementation class for the generic data. There are
more configurations related to generic data collection, and users can refer
to <<<yarn-default.xml>>> for all of them.
+---+
<property>
<description>Indicate to ResourceManager as well as clients whether
history-service is enabled or not. If enabled, ResourceManager starts
recording historical data that Timelien service can consume. Similarly,
clients can redirect to the history service when applications
finish if this is enabled.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.generic-application-history.enabled</name>
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>Store class name for history store, defaulting to file system
store</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.generic-application-history.store-class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.applicationhistoryservice.FileSystemApplicationHistoryStore</value>
</property>
+---+
* Per-framework-date related Configuration
Users can specify whether per-framework data service is enabled or not,
choose the store implementation for the per-framework data, and tune the
retention of the per-framework data. There are more configurations related to
per-framework data service, and users can refer to <<<yarn-default.xml>>> for
all of them.
+---+
<property>
<description>Indicate to clients whether Timeline service is enabled or not.
If enabled, the TimelineClient library used by end-users will post entities
and events to the Timeline server.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.enabled</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>Store class name for timeline store.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.store-class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.applicationhistoryservice.timeline.LeveldbTimelineStore</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>Enable age off of timeline store data.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.ttl-enable</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
<description>Time to live for timeline store data in milliseconds.</description>
<name>yarn.timeline-service.ttl-ms</name>
<value>604800000</value>
</property>
+---+
* Running Timeline server
Assuming all the aforementioned configurations are set properly, admins can
start the Timeline server/history service with the following command:
+---+
$ yarn historyserver
+---+
Or users can start the Timeline server / history service as a daemon:
+---+
$ yarn-daemon.sh start historyserver
+---+
* Accessing generic-data via command-line
Users can access applications' generic historic data via the command line as
below. Note that the same commands are usable to obtain the corresponding
information about running applications.
+---+
$ yarn application -status <Application ID>
$ yarn applicationattempt -list <Application ID>
$ yarn applicationattempt -status <Application Attempt ID>
$ yarn container -list <Application Attempt ID>
$ yarn container -status <Container ID>
+---+
* Publishing of per-framework data by applications
Developers can define what information they want to record for their
applications by composing <<<TimelineEntity>>> and <<<TimelineEvent>>>
objects, and put the entities and events to the Timeline server via
<<<TimelineClient>>>. Below is an example:
+---+
// Create and start the Timeline client
TimelineClient client = TimelineClient.createTimelineClient();
client.init(conf);
client.start();
TimelineEntity entity = null;
// Compose the entity
try {
TimelinePutResponse response = client.putEntities(entity);
} catch (IOException e) {
// Handle the exception
} catch (YarnException e) {
// Handle the exception
}
// Stop the Timeline client
client.stop();
+---+
