  1. On the Ambari Server, browse to the /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services directory. In this case, we will browse to the HDP 2.0 Stack definition.

    Code Block
    cd /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services
  2. Create a directory named /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV that will contain the service definition for SAMPLESRV.

    Code Block
    mkdir /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV
    cd /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV
  3. Browse to the newly created SAMPLESRV directory, create a metainfo.xml file that describes the new service. For example:

    Code Block
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <metainfo>
        <schemaVersion>2.0</schemaVersion>
        <services>

                        </commandScript>
                    </component>
                </components>
                <osSpecifics>
                    <osSpecific>

            </service>
        </services>
    </metainfo>
  4. In the above, my service name is "SAMPLESRV", and it contains:
    • one MASTER component "SAMPLESRV_MASTER"
    • one SLAVE component "SAMPLESRV_SLAVE"
    • one CLIENT component "SAMPLESRV_CLIENT"
  5. Next, let's create that command script. Create a directory for the command script /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV/package/scripts that we designated in the service metainfo.

    Code Block
    mkdir -p /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV/package/scripts
    cd /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.0.6/services/SAMPLESRV/package/scripts
  6. Browse to the scripts directory and create the .py command script files.

    For example master.py file:

    Code Block
    import sys
    from resource_management import *
    class Master(Script):
      def install(self, env):
        print 'Install the Sample Srv Master';
      def stop(self, env):
        print 'Stop the Sample Srv Master';
      def start(self, env):
        print 'Start the Sample Srv Master';
        
      def status(self, env):
        print 'Status of the Sample Srv Master';
      def configure(self, env):
        print 'Configure the Sample Srv Master';
    if __name__ == "__main__":
      Master().execute()

    For example slave.py file:

    Code Block
    import sys
    from resource_management import *
    class Slave(Script):
      def install(self, env):
        print 'Install the Sample Srv Slave';
      def stop(self, env):
        print 'Stop the Sample Srv Slave';
      def start(self, env):
        print 'Start the Sample Srv Slave';
      def status(self, env):
        print 'Status of the Sample Srv Slave';
      def configure(self, env):
        print 'Configure the Sample Srv Slave';
    if __name__ == "__main__":
      Slave().execute()

    For example sample_client.py file:

    Code Block
    import sys
    from resource_management import *
    class SampleClient(Script):
      def install(self, env):
        print 'Install the Sample Srv Client';
      def configure(self, env):
        print 'Configure the Sample Srv Client';
    if __name__ == "__main__":
      SampleClient().execute()
  7. Now, restart Ambari Server for this new service definition to be distributed to all the Agents in the cluster.

    Code Block
    ambari-server restart
Install the Service (via Ambari Web "Add Services")
Note

The ability to add custom services via Ambari Web is new as of Ambari 1.7.0.

  1. In Ambari Web, browse to Services and click the Actions button in the Service navigation area on the left.
  2. The "Add Services" wizard launches. You will see an option to include "My Sample Service" (which is the <displayName> of the service as defined in the service metainfo.xml file).
  3. Select "My Sample Service" and click Next.
  4. Assign the "Sample Srv Master" and click Next.
  5. Select the hosts to install the "Sample Srv Client" and click Next.
  6. Once complete, the "My Sample Service" will be available Service navigation area.
  7. If you want to add the "Sample Srv Client" to any hosts, you can browse to Hosts and navigate to a specific host and click "+ Add".

Example: Implementing a Custom Client-only Service

...

  1. Add the Service to the Cluster.

    Code Block
    POST
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/services
    
    {
    "ServiceInfo": {
      "service_name":"TESTSRV"
      }
    }
  2. Add the Components to the Service. In this case, add TEST_CLIENT to TESTSRV.

    Code Block
    POST
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/services/TESTSRV/components/TEST_CLIENT
    
  3. Install the component on all target hosts. For example, to install on c6402.ambari.apache.org and c6403.ambari.apache.org, first create the host_component resource on the hosts using POST.

    Code Block
    POST
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/hosts/c6402.ambari.apache.org/host_components/TEST_CLIENT
    
    POST
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/hosts/c6403.ambari.apache.org/host_components/TEST_CLIENT
  4. Now have Ambari install the components on all hosts. In this single command, you are instructing Ambari to install all components related to the service. This call the install() method in the command script on each host.

    Code Block
    PUT
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/services/TESTSRV
    
    {
      "RequestInfo": {
        "context": "Install Test Srv Client"
      },
      "Body": {
        "ServiceInfo": {
          "state": "INSTALLED"
        }    
      }
    }    
    
  5. Alternatively, instead of installing all components at the same time, you can explicitly install each host component. In this example, we will explicitly install the TEST_CLIENT on c6402.ambari.apache.org:

    Code Block
    PUT
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/hosts/c6402.ambari.apache.org/host_components/TEST_CLIENT
    
    {
      "RequestInfo": {
        "context":"Install Test Srv Client"
      },
      "Body": {
        "HostRoles": {
          "state":"INSTALLED"
        }
      }
    }
  6. Use the following to configure the client on the host. This will end up calling the configure() method in the command script.

    Code Block
    POST
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/requests
     
    {
      "RequestInfo" : {
        "command" : "CONFIGURE",
        "context" : "Config Test Srv Client"
      },
      "Requests/resource_filters": [{
        "service_name" : "TESTSRV",
        "component_name" : "TEST_CLIENT",
        "hosts" : "c6403.ambari.apache.org"
      }]
    }
  7. If you want to see which hosts the component is installed.

    Code Block
    GET
    /api/v1/clusters/MyCluster/components/TEST_CLIENT
    
Install the Service (via Ambari Web "Add Services")

  2. The "Add Services" wizard launches. You will see an option to include "My Test Service" (which is the <displayName> of the service as defined in the service metainfo.xml file).
  3. Select "My Test Service" and click Next.
  4. Select the hosts to install the "My New Test Client" and click Next.
  5. Once complete, the "My Test Service" will be available Service navigation area.
  6. If you want to add the "My New Test Client" to any hosts, you can browse to Hosts and navigate to a specific host and click "+ Add".
