Check the following before continuing

Java 1.7.x or greater must be installed. Ensure JAVA_HOME environment variable exists and set to your JDK installation.
Install openssl version "OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips" or greater. To check your version do: "openssl version".
Install protocol buffers version "libprotoc 2.3.0" or greater. To check your version do: "protoc –version"
Install Apache Maven version 3.0.5 or greater and add it to your PATH. to check your version do: "mvn --version"
Download latest Apache Trafodion source from Apache Incubator https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafodion, un-tar the file into the <Trafodion download directory>
Download, build and install additional development tools via Additional Build Tools.

Note: Trafodion source needs to be downloaded before installing additional build tools if you are planning on running the Trafodion supplied convenience script to download needed packages.

<TBD, Java and openssl are downloaded through Yum. It looks like protocol buffers are part of Centos/Redhat, Do I need to add instructions on how to download and setup Maven?>

Build Steps

Set up Trafodion configuration file

<TDB: change hardcoded version number 1.2.0 to be configurable>

Additional development tools are required before building Trafodion as described Additional Build Tools. A convenience script script exists that downloads, installs, and builds all these tools in a common directory. If this convenience script is not used or if any of these additional build tools are not found in the expected location, then the Trafodion configuration file needs to be updated. The Trafodion configuration file template is located in <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating/core/sqf/LocalSettingsTemplate.sh. To change values, copy this file to your root directory and change its name to .trafodion. Edit the .trafodion file and update according to the instructions. Be sure to change the location of your TOOLSDIR to your <tools installation directory>.

cp <traf download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating/core/sqf/LocalSettingsTemplate.sh ~/.trafodion

For now, don't change locations for HADOOP_PREFIX, HBASE_HOME, and HIVE_HOME. There is a later step that describes this process.

Build Trafodion

You can use single node standalone Apache installation OR use a Trafodion supplied solution that encapsulates the building and testing in an isolated environment . If you plan to use an existing standalone Apache installation please follow instructions for "Build using standalone Apache installation". If you want to use your existing environment, please following instructions for "Build using local Hadoop" ".

Build using standalone Apache installation

If you wish to build Trafodion using an existing standalone Apache installation, follow instructions in this section. With this option, you can only build Trafodion. If you want to test Trafodion, you will need to create binary tar files and follow our installation instructions described here (Installation). Note: the Trafodion installer only supports Hortonworks and Cloudera distributions at this time.

Much of Trafodion is written in C++ and it uses libraries that are built as part of the Hadoop native libraries. Therefore, your Hadoop distribution must have these libraries available. To check this:

cd <hadoop installation directory>

ls lib/native

The list of lib/native code should include libhdfs.so

If you have not already done so, copy the Trafodion configuration file into your root directory.

cp <download directory>/ apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating/core/sqf/LocalSettingsTemplate.sh ~/.trafodion

Edit .trafodion and change locations for HADOOP_PREFIX, HBASE_HOME, and HIVE_HOME to point to your installed environment. Be sure to update the TOOLSDIR variable in this file to point to the location of the components installed via Additional Build Tools.

Note: Trafodion has only been tested with Hadoop 2.5.?, HBase 0.98.6, and Hive 0.13.1. If you have different versions, you might run into unexpected build errors.

Setup build environment

Start a new ssh session

Set the following environment variables, these are needed to create correct class paths when setting up the build environment.

export HADOOP_PREFIX=<location of Hadoop 2.5.?>

export HBASE_HOME=<location of hbase-0.98.6>

export HIVE_HOME=<location of apache-hive-0.13.1>

export THRIFT_INC_DIR=<location of thrift-0.9.0/include>

export THRIFT_LIB_DIR=<location of thrift-0.9.0/lib>

Make sure that TOOLSDIR is not set.

unset $TOOLSDIR

Do the build

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating

source ./env.sh

Build using one of the following options:

make all (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST) OR

make package (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST, Client drivers) OR

make package-all (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST, Client drivers and Tests for all components

Verify build by executing the following statement, this script should return over 90 components

$MY_SQROOT/sql/script/sqvers

Build using local Hadoop

This section describes the steps to use the Trafodion installation script called 'install_local_hadoop' that encapsulates building the product and starting the Hadoop eco-system. This script uses a Cloudera distribution.

Make sure you have set up password less authentication. You should be able to "ssh localhost" without having to enter a password

Install Hadoop eco-system

Start a new ssh session and set environment

Set the TOOLSDIR environment variable to the location of the components installed via Additional Build Tools. Be sure to set the TOOLSDIR environment variable before invoking env.sh

export TOOLSDIR=<tools installation directory>

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating

source ./env.sh

cd $MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts

Execute the script ‘install_local_hadoop’, see Note below regarding assigning ports

Verify that build completed by running the following command - should report: 6 java servers and 2 mysqld processes are running

$MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts/swstatus

Note:

The 'install_local_hadoop' script downloads Hadoop, HBase, Hive, and MySql jar files from the internet. To avoid this overhead, you can download the required files into a separate directory and set the environment variable MY_LOCAL_SW_DIST to point to this directory.

The following options are available with 'install_local_hadoop':

‘install_local_hadoop –p rand' — will start with any random port number between 9000 and 49000 OR

‘install_local_hadoop –p < specify a port # >' — will start with port number specified OR

‘install_local_hadoop' — will use default port numbers for all services

When this script completes, Hadoop, HBase, Hive, and MySql (used as Hive's metadata repository) have been installed and are started.

The 'install_local_hadoop' script also creates several helper scripts starting with "sw" in the $MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts directory including:

swhadoop swhbase swhdfs

swhive swjdbc swmysql

swmysqladmin swstartall swstarthadoop

swstarthbase swstartmysql swstatus

swstopall swstophadoop swstophbase

swstopmysql swuninstall_local_hadoop swurls.html

swyarn

To start/stop/check Hadoop environment using Trafodion supplied scripts, you can execute ‘swstartall’ , ‘swstopall’ and ‘swstatus’, and if you need to remove the installation, execute the 'swuninstall_local_hadoop'.

Do the build

Start a new ssh session and set environment

Set the TOOLSDIR environment variable to the location of the components installed via Additional Build Tools

export TOOLSDIR=<tools installation directory>

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating

source ./env.sh

Build using one of the following options:

make all (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST) OR

make package (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST, Client drivers) OR

make package-all (Build Trafodion, DCS, REST, Client drivers and Tests for all components

Verify build by executing the following statement, this script should return over 90 components

$MY_SQROOT/sql/script/sqvers

Install Trafodion components

cd $MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts

Execute script, ‘install_traf_components’.

Test Trafodion build

If you built Trafodion using "Build using standard Apache installation", following the instructions in "Test using standard Apache installation". If you built Trafodion using the "Build using local Hadoop", follow the instructions in "Test using local Hadoop".

Test using standard Apache installation

Note: All tar files are created in ‘distribution’ folder located at the very top level (incubator-trafodion) during the make step.

To install a custom Trafodion component you can set various environment variable to overwrite the default tar files found in distribution folder.

Environment variables supported by install_traf_component script are :

DCS_TAR — Specify the fully qualified path of DCS tar file

REST_TAR — Specify the fully qualified path of REST tar file

PHX_TAR — Specify the fully qualified path of Phoenix test tar file

CLIENT_TAR — Specify the fully qualified path of Trafodion client tar file

DCSTEST_TAR — Specify the fully qualified path of DCS tests tar file

Follow installation instructions found on the Apache Trafodion wiki site - (Installation ) but modify the step that request you to download tar files from the download directory to use your generated the tar files.

Test using local Hadoop

This section describes how to start up Trafodion and run operations. It assumes that you have previously run the 'install_local_hadoop' script.

The 'install_local_hadoop' script configures everything needed to run Trafodion. It also starts Hadoop, Hive, MySql, and HBase.

Before starting, please check your ulimit. Some of them may need to be increased. If incorrect values are used, Trafodion may not start.

<TDB: should I add instructions on how to do this?>

The following are the recommended values.

ulimit –a

core file size (blocks, -c) 1000000
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 515196
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 49595556
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 32000
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 267263
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited

Start Trafodion

Start a new ssh session and set environment

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating

source ./env.sh

cd $MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts

Perform a one-time step to set up run environment, <TBD, add more details on when this is required and rm ms.env>

Execute the script, ‘sqgen’

Sometimes HBase does not get started correctly and needs to be restarted:

cd $MY_SQR00T/sql/scripts

./swstatus

if HMaster is not started do: ./swstarthbase

Execute the script, 'sqstart'

Note: In case of any issues and if there is a need to stop and restart a specific Trafodion component, you can use the component based start/stop scripts.

Component	Start script	Stop script
For all of Trafodion	sqstart	sqstop
For DCS (Database Connectivity Service)	dcsstart	dcsstop
For REST server	reststart	reststop
For LOB server	lobstart	lobstop
For RMS server	rmsstart	rmsstop

Checking the status of Trafodion and its components

There are several health check scripts that are available which will provide the status of Trafodion. They are :

sqcheck (For all of Trafodion)

dcscheck (For Database Connectivity Service)

rmscheck (For RMS Server)

Creating Trafodion metadata

Trafodion is up and running, you can now start up a SQL command line interface and initialize Trafodion

Start a new ssh session and set environment

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.2.0-incubating

source ./env.sh

cd $MY_SQROOT/sql/scripts

Execute the script 'sqlci' (direct to sql engine) or 'trafci' (uses DCS to connect to SQL engine)

Perform the following statements:

initialize trafodion;
get schemas;
create table table1 (a int);
invoke table1;
insert into table1 values (1), (2), (3), (4);
select * from table1;
exit;

You are done and ready to go! <TBD: add reference to documentation>

Trafodion test packages

There are several helper scripts provided to run the tests for Trafodion components in your workspace. These scripts are generated based on the tar files that are made available during execution of install_traf_component script

swphoenix {t4 | t2 } — This script will run the Phoenix test using JDBC Type 4 driver or JDBC Type 2 driver

swjdbc — This script will run JDBC Type 4 tests

swpyodbc — This script will install Linux drivers run ODBC tests using Linux driver
