Installing OpenTSDB with a Package

The following steps describe how to install OpenTSDB from a package.

About this task

Be sure to install the OpenTSDB version that is required for your AsyncHBase version. AsyncHBase 1.6 requires OpenTSDB 2.0. AsyncHBase 1.7 requires OpenTSDB 2.2.

Procedure

  1. Install the OpenTSDB RPM:
    1. mkdir /root/opentsdbrpm
    2. cd /root/opentsdbrpm
    3. Download the version of OpenTSDB that you required. For OpenTSDB 2.0: wget https://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb/releases/download/v2.0.0/opentsdb-2.0.0.noarch.rpm -O opentsdb-2.0.0.noarch.rpm For OpenTSDB 2.2: wgethttps://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb/releases/download/v2.2.0/opentsdb-2.2.0.noarch.rpm-o opentsdb-2.2.0.noarch.rpm
    4. rpm -ivh opentsdb-<version>.noarch.rpm
  2. Configure OpenTSDB to work with Data Fabric:
    1. Edit the following tsdb scripts to cover Data Fabric-specific dependencies: /usr/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb and /usr/bin/tsdb 
      # Base of Data Fabric installation
BASEMAPR=${MAPR_HOME:-/opt/mapr}

# Add Data Fabric hadoop jars to classpath
if test -d "$BASEMAPR/hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/lib"; then
 # hadoop conf directory to beginning of classpath (for core-site.xml)
 CLASSPATH="$BASEMAPR/hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/conf:$CLASSPATH"

 for jar in "$BASEMAPR"/hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/lib/*.jar; do
   if [ "`echo $jar | grep slf4j`" != "" ]; then
     continue
   fi
   CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$jar"
 done
fi
    2. Replace the asynchbase jar file (provide the current jar file name in the cp command): 
      cp 
/opt/mapr/asynchbase/asynchbase-<version>/asynchbase-<version>-mapr-*.jar    
/usr/share/opentsdb/lib/
rm -f /usr/share/opentsdb/lib/asynchbase-<previous_version>.jar
    3. Configure the opentsdb.conf files: These files must have the following settings: 
      /usr/share/opentsdb/etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf
/etc/opentsdb/opentsdb.conf
      tsd.network.port = 4242
tsd.http.staticroot = /usr/share/opentsdb/static/
tsd.core.auto_create_metrics = false (for testing purposes only)
tsd.storage.hbase.data_table = /tsdb
tsd.storage.hbase.uid_table = /tsdb-uid
tsd.storage.hbase.zk_quorum = <zookeeperNode>:<zookeeperP>
    4. Edit the <OPENTSDB_ROOT_INSTALL_DIR>/src/create_table.sh file and add "/" before the table names so that Data Fabric recognizes them as HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables. Then, create tables in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database: . 
      export COMPRESSION=NONE; export HBASE_HOME=/opt/mapr/hbase/hbase-<version>; /usr/share/opentsdb/tools/create_table.sh
      See Example: create_table.sh
    5. Confirm that the tables are created: 
      hadoop fs -ls /
tr--------   3 root root            2 2014-12-12 01:47 /tsdb
tr--------   3 root root            2 2014-12-12 01:47 /tsdb-meta
tr--------   3 root root            2 2014-12-12 01:47 /tsdb-tree
tr--------   3 root root            2 2014-12-12 01:47 /tsdb-uid
  3. Start the tsd daemon. You can give executable permissions to the tsdb script in /usr/share/opentsdb/bin, or you can directly use tsdb (because of the dependencies you added earlier). 
    chmod +x /usr/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb
/usr/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb tsd --port=4242 
--staticroot="/usr/share/opentsdb/static/" 
--cachedir="/tmp/opentsdb" --auto-metric
  4. Create a metric: /usr/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb mkmetric mymetric.stock
  5. Test the metric:
    1. Run a Test Program for OpenTSDB that reads from the tmp_input file and sends put requests to opentsdb, which saves the data to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table (tsdb/tsdb-uid).
    2. Run aggregation queries (such as SUM) from the command line: /usr/share/opentsdb/bin/tsdb query 1y-ago sum mymetric.stock or tsdb query 1y-ago sum mymetric.stock
    3. When you run the SUM command, the results should look like the following: 
      ====
mymetric.stock 1407165399000 680.500015 {}
mymetric.stock 1407165401000 904.625000 {}
