Hi Brian,

I see GangliaContext31.class in the jar and GangliaContext31.java in the src
folder.

By the way, I only used the last version of each patch. Should I apply the
different files per patch from the earliest to the latest ?

Nope.

Can you perform "lsof" on the running process and see if it's perhaps using the wrong JAR?

Brian



Thanks,

Hey Tamir,

Can you see the file GangliaContext31.java in your jar? In the source
directory?

Hi,

All my testing were fine with Ganglia 3.0, I used HADOOP-3422 patch to fix
the metric names provided by hadoop and it worked. Because I had to
recompile hadoop (base 0.18.3) I also used Hadoop-4675 in order to use the latest Ganglia (3.1). After changing the metrics file to report with the GangliaContext31 class I started getting a ClassNotFoundException. The command I used to recompile hadoop was "ant clean jar" and then I moved
and
renamed it instead of the original core jar.

Do you what is wrong ?

Thanks,
Tamir

Make all of your hadoop-metrics properties use the standard IP address of
your master node.
Then add a straight udp receive block to the gmond.conf of your master
node.
Then point your gmetad.conf at your master node.

There are complete details in forthcoming book, and with this in it,
should
be available in alpha soon.

I'll change the hadoop-metrics file and check again.
However, I would prefer to use a method I'm more familiar with - like unicast tcp communication. Do you know what I need to change in ganglia

and

/ or hadoop to use it ?

Thanks.

The default multicast address seems to be 239.2.11.71, so that's the
one for your hadoop-metrics.properties.


Yup, try that - although I could tell better if I had Tamir's

gmond.conf,

of course.



Wouldn't using the multicast address mean I'll need to specify a

different
address for each node so that the data won't get to all nodes running
gmond



The design of Ganglia is such that all the data goes at all the nodes
running gmond.  If you don't like it, Ganglia 3.1 supports

non-multicast

TCP

channels.

For reference, our 200 node cluster has about 250KB/s of background

chatter

on idle nodes, which is probably Ganglia-related. It's an incredibly

small

perturbation on network traffic.

I'm not an expert, either --- I'm using the same multicast address on

all nodes in my cluster. On each node, tcpdump shows incoming Ganglia traffic from every other node to the multicast address. It's usually a burst of about 200 UDP packets every 4 seconds or so (for a 6- node
cluster), so the traffic overhead should be negligible.
