Build maven-based RPM's

By Anonymous
Listen:

In an daily DevOps world it's necessary to have an easy to use mechanism for a revisionable software deployment. Especially when continuous integration comes to play, in terms of installing, upgrading and deleting software in an easy and proven way.

Why not use RPM for that? The great is, Maven can do that easily.

Prerequisites:

Eclipse (or IntelliJ or any other editor)
maven (command "mvn" has to work on command line)
git (command "git" should work on command line)
rpm build (sudo yum install rpm-build)

Building an RPM works on Linux systems like RedHat or CentOS.

How To Guide

Build the project, so that the targets are available locally (skipTest if they fail on your PC, e.g. because of missing MongoDB or TomCat or ...). 

The following params are necessary to get it working properly:
directory = where the code should be placed after the RPM is rolled out
filemode = permissions for the installed code
username = UID 
groupname = GID
location = local location of the project which will be included in the RPM

Add the RPM goal to your pom.xml:

<project>
... <build>
... <plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-rpm</id>
<goals><goal>rpm</goal></goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<license>Apache</license>
<distribution>Development</distribution>
<group>Applications/Internet</group>
<packager>ALO</packager>
<defineStatements>
<defineStatement>_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0</defineStatement>
</defineStatements>
<mappings>
<mapping>
<directory>/var/lib/tomcat/webapps</directory>
<filemode>600</filemode>
<username>tomcat</username>
<groupname>tomcat</groupname>
<directoryIncluded>false</directoryIncluded>
<sources>
<source>
<location>target/test.war</location>
</source>
</sources>
</mapping>
</mappings>
<preinstallScriptlet>
<script>echo "Deploying test-api webapp"</script>
</preinstallScriptlet>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>...
</build>...
</project>

Build the RPM file

mvn rpm:rpm

Check the contents of the RPM file

rpm -q --filesbypkg -p target/rpm/<build-name>/RPMS/noarch/test-api-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this inform

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

By Anonymous
A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s

AI's False Reality: Understanding Hallucination

By
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has leapfrogged to the poster child of technological innovation, on track to transform industries in a scale similar to the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s. But in this case, as cutting-edge technology, AI presents its own unique challenge, exploiting our human behavior of "love to trust", we as humans face a challenge: AI hallucinations. This phenomenon, where AI models generate outputs that are factually incorrect, misleading, or entirely fabricated, raises complex questions about the reliability and trust of AI models and larger systems. The tendency for AI to hallucinate comes from several interrelated factors. Overfitting – a condition where models become overly specialized to their training data – can lead to confident but wildly inaccurate responses when presented with novel scenarios (Guo et al., 2017). Moreover, biases embedded within datasets shape the models' understanding of the world; if these datasets are flawed or unreprese
