kudu-rpm

Prerequisites

• CentOS 7
• NTP must be installed and configured, e.g.

yum install ntpd
systemctl start ntpd
systemctl enable ntpd

For development deployments you can alternatively disable the hybrid clock with adding the following line to /etc/kudu/conf/master.gflagfile and /etc/kudu/conf/tserver.gflagfile

--use_hybrid_clock=false

Installation of RPM package

yum install https://github.com/MartinWeindel/kudu-rpm/releases/download/v1.15.0-1/kudu-1.15.0-1.x86_64.rpm

yum erase kudu
yum install https://github.com/MartinWeindel/kudu-rpm/releases/download/v1.15.0-1/kudu-1.15.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Running master server as service

• for multi master installations configure --master_addresses in /etc/kudu/conf/master.gflagfile
• more details see Apache Kudu Configuration
• starting the master server

systemctl start kudu-master
systemctl enable kudu-master

Running tablet server as service

systemctl start kudu-tserver
systemctl enable kudu-tserver

Building the RPM package

The build process uses the Apache Kudu binaries built with the docker image mweindel/apache-kudu and creates a RPM package containing kudu client, kudu-master and kudu-tserver.

After checking out this project, just run

./extract-rpms.sh

Updating to new version

• build docker image mweindel/apache-kudu
• adjust versions in README.md, extract-rpms.sh, Dockerfile, and spec/header
• commit and release
