Introduction

This guide provides an overview of High Availability of YARN’s ResourceManager, and details how to configure and use this feature. The ResourceManager (RM) is responsible for tracking the resources in a cluster, and scheduling applications (e.g., MapReduce jobs). Prior to Hadoop 2.4, the ResourceManager is the single point of failure in a YARN cluster. The High Availability feature adds redundancy in the form of an Active/Standby ResourceManager pair to remove this otherwise single point of failure.

这个知道提供YARN的ResourceManager的高可用综述，和如何配置和使用这个特性的细节。RM负责跟踪集群中的资源和调度应用（例如 MapReduce作业）。在Hadoop2.4之前，RM是YARN集群中的一个单点故障。这个高可用特性以活动/备用 RM对的形式增加了冗余来移除这个潜在的单点故障。

Architecture（架构）

RM Failover（RM故障切换）

ResourceManager HA is realized through an Active/Standby architecture - at any point of time, one of the RMs is Active, and one or more RMs are in Standby mode waiting to take over should anything happen to the Active. The trigger to transition-to-active comes from either the admin (through CLI) or through the integrated failover-controller when automatic-failover is enabled.

RM的高可用特性通过任何时间点的主/备架构来实现的，一个RM作为活动，而其他RMs进入备用模式随时等待接管出事的活动的RM。备用转活跃的触发可以通过管理员用命令行或者通过集成的故障切换控制器配置允许自动故障切换。

Manual transitions and failover（手动切换和故障切换）

When automatic failover is not enabled, admins have to manually transition one of the RMs to Active. To failover from one RM to the other, they are expected to first transition the Active-RM to Standby and transition a Standby-RM to Active. All this can be done using the “yarn rmadmin” CLI.

当自动故障切换没有被激活时，管理员必须手动地转换RMs中的一个为活跃。RM的故障切换时首先将活跃的RM切换为备用然后将一个备用的RM切换为活跃状态。这些都可以用“yarn rmadmin”命令行来实现。

Automatic failover（自动故障切换）

The RMs have an option to embed the Zookeeper-based ActiveStandbyElector to decide which RM should be the Active. When the Active goes down or becomes unresponsive, another RM is automatically elected to be the Active which then takes over. Note that, there is no need to run a separate ZKFC daemon as is the case for HDFS because ActiveStandbyElector embedded in RMs acts as a failure detector and a leader elector instead of a separate ZKFC deamon.

RMa有个选项来嵌入基于Zookeepper的主备选举机制来决定哪个RM是活跃的。当活跃的RM失效或者反应迟钝，另一个RM会被自动选举为主用然后接管工作。需要注意的是，没必要为HDFS运行一个单独的ZKFC进程因为主备选举机制内嵌到RMs作为一个失效检查器和选举器来替代一个单独的ZKFC进程。

Client, ApplicationMaster and NodeManager on RM failover（客户端、应用控制器和节点管理器在RM的故障切换下的转移）

When there are multiple RMs, the configuration (yarn-site.xml) used by clients and nodes is expected to list all the RMs. Clients, ApplicationMasters (AMs) and NodeManagers (NMs) try connecting to the RMs in a round-robin fashion until they hit the Active RM. If the Active goes down, they resume the round-robin polling until they hit the “new” Active. This default retry logic is implemented as org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.ConfiguredRMFailoverProxyProvider. You can override the logic by implementing org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.RMFailoverProxyProvider and setting the value of yarn.client.failover-proxy-provider to the class name.

当有多个RM，客户端和节点可以通过配置（yarn-site.xml）来获得RM的列表。客户端、应用控制器和节点管理器采用循环的方式来试图连上RM直到他们连上活跃RM。如果活跃的RM失效了，它们重新开始以循环的方式去连接RM直到他们连上新的活跃RM。这个默认的重试逻辑是org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.ConfiguredRMFailoverProxyProvider实现的。你可以通过实现 org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.RMFailoverProxyProvider 来覆盖这个逻辑并将yarn.client.failover-proxy-provider的值设为该类名。

Recovering prevous active-RM’s state（恢复到之前活跃RM的状态）

With the ResourceManger Restart enabled, the RM being promoted to an active state loads the RM internal state and continues to operate from where the previous active left off as much as possible depending on the RM restart feature. A new attempt is spawned for each managed application previously submitted to the RM. Applications can checkpoint periodically to avoid losing any work. The state-store must be visible from the both of Active/Standby RMs. Currently, there are two RMStateStore implementations for persistence - FileSystemRMStateStore and ZKRMStateStore. The ZKRMStateStore implicitly allows write access to a single RM at any point in time, and hence is the recommended store to use in an HA cluster. When using the ZKRMStateStore, there is no need for a separate fencing mechanism to address a potential split-brain situation where multiple RMs can potentially assume the Active role. When using the ZKRMStateStore, it is advisable to NOT set the “zookeeper.DigestAuthenticationProvider.superDigest” property on the Zookeeper cluster to ensure that the zookeeper admin does not have access to YARN application/user credential information.

如果RM重启是被激活可用的，依靠RM的重启特性一个RM被提升为活跃RM状态时加载前面那个活跃RM留下尽可能多的RM的内部状态和操作。应用可以周期的检查来避免丢失任何工作。状态仓库对主用/备用RM都是可见的。目前，有两个实现的持久化RM状态仓库- FileSystemRMStateStore和ZKRMStateStore。ZKRMStateStore允许在任何一个时间点只对一个RM可写，因此推荐在HA集群中使用这个仓库。当使用ZKRMStateStore作为状态仓库，建议不要在Zookepper集群中设置zookeeper.DigestAuthenticationProvider.superDigest属性确保zookepper管理员没有进入YARN 应用和用户的权限信息。

Deployment（部署）

Configurations（配置）

Most of the failover functionality is tunable using various configuration properties. Following is a list of required/important ones. yarn-default.xml carries a full-list of knobs. See yarn-default.xml for more information including default values. See the document for ResourceManger Restart also for instructions on setting up the state-store.

大部分的故障切换功能都可以用各样的配置属性来调用。下面是属性中需要的/重要的部分列表。yarn-default.xml是完整的开关列表。去查看 yarn-default.xml 获取更多信息包括默认值。看ResourceManger Restart 文档也可以得到状态仓库的设置信息。

Sample configurations（配置例子）

Here is the sample of minimal setup for RM failover.

<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.ha.enabled</name>
  <value>true</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.cluster-id</name>
  <value>cluster1</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.ha.rm-ids</name>
  <value>rm1,rm2</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.hostname.rm1</name>
  <value>master1</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.hostname.rm2</name>
  <value>master2</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address.rm1</name>
  <value>master1:8088</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address.rm2</name>
  <value>master2:8088</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>yarn.resourcemanager.zk-address</name>
  <value>zk1:2181,zk2:2181,zk3:2181</value>
</property> 

Admin commands（管理员命令）

yarn rmadmin has a few HA-specific command options to check the health/state of an RM, and transition to Active/Standby. Commands for HA take service id of RM set by yarn.resourcemanager.ha.rm-ids as argument.

$ yarn rmadmin -getServiceState rm1
 active
 
 $ yarn rmadmin -getServiceState rm2
 standby

If automatic failover is enabled, you can not use manual transition command. Though you can override this by –forcemanual flag, you need caution.

$ yarn rmadmin -transitionToStandby rm1
 Automatic failover is enabled for org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.RMHAServiceTarget@1d8299fd
 Refusing to manually manage HA state, since it may cause
 a split-brain scenario or other incorrect state.
 If you are very sure you know what you are doing, please
 specify the forcemanual flag.

See YarnCommands for more details.

ResourceManager Web UI services

Assuming a standby RM is up and running, the Standby automatically redirects all web requests to the Active, except for the “About” page.

假设一个备用RM被提升为活跃，该备用RM会自动重定向到所有提到活跃RM的请求，除了“About”页面

Web Services

Assuming a standby RM is up and running, RM web-services described at ResourceManager REST APIs when invoked on a standby RM are automatically redirected to the Active RM.

假设一个备用RM被提升为活跃，RM web-service在ResourceManager REST APIs 描述的用来将一个备用RM自动重定向活跃RM。
