Apache Airflow is a workflow management system developed by AirBnB in 2014. It is a platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows. Airflow workflows are designed as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) of tasks in Python. The Airflow scheduler executes your tasks on an array of workers while following the specified dependencies.
Apache Oozie is a workflow scheduler system to manage Apache Hadoop jobs. Oozie workflows are also designed as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) in XML.
There are a few differences noted below:
Spec. | Task | Dependencies | "Subworkflows" | Parameterization | Notification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Oozie | XML | Action Node | Control Node | Subworkflow | EL functions/Properties file | URL based callbacks |
Airflow | Python | Operators | Trigger Rules, set_downstream() | SubDag | jinja2 and macros | Callbacks/Emails |
Note that you need Python >= 3.8 to run the converter.
You can install o2a
from PyPi via pip install o2a
. After installation, the
o2a and o2a-validate-workflows should be available on your path.
-
(Optional) Install virtualenv:
In case you use sources of
o2a
, the environment can be set up via the virtualenv setup (you can create one using virtualenvwrapper for example). -
Install Oozie-to-Airflow - you have 2 options to do so:
-
automatically: install
o2a
from local folder usingpip install -e .
This will take care about, among others, adding the bin subdirectory to the PATH.
-
more manually:
-
While in your virtualenv, you can install all the requirements via
pip install -r requirements.txt
. -
You can add the bin subdirectory to your PATH, then all the scripts below can be run without adding the
./bin
prefix. This can be done for example by adding a line similar to the one below to your.bash_profile
orbin/postactivate
from your virtual environment:
export PATH=${PATH}:<INSERT_PATH_TO_YOUR_OOZIE_PROJECT>/bin
Otherwise you need to run all the scripts from the bin subdirectory, for example:
./bin/o2a --help
-
-
In all the example commands below, it is assumed that the bin directory is in your PATH - either installed from PyPi or from the sources.
You can run the program by calling:
o2a -i <INPUT_APPLICATION_FOLDER> -o <OUTPUT_FOLDER_PATH>
Example:
o2a -i examples/demo -o output/demo
This is the full usage guide, available by running o2a -h
usage: o2a [-h] -i INPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH -o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH [-n DAG_NAME]
[-u USER] [-s START_DAYS_AGO] [-v SCHEDULE_INTERVAL] [-d]
Convert Apache Oozie workflows to Apache Airflow workflows.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH, --input-directory-path INPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH
Path to input directory
-o OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH, --output-directory-path OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_PATH
Desired output directory
-n DAG_NAME, --dag-name DAG_NAME
Desired DAG name [defaults to input directory name]
-u USER, --user USER The user to be used in place of all ${user.name}
[defaults to user who ran the conversion]
-s START_DAYS_AGO, --start-days-ago START_DAYS_AGO
Desired DAG start as number of days ago
-v SCHEDULE_INTERVAL, --schedule-interval SCHEDULE_INTERVAL
Desired DAG schedule interval as number of days
-d, --dot Renders workflow files in DOT format
The input application directory has to follow the structure defined as follows:
<APPLICATION>/
|- job.properties - job properties that are used to run the job
|- hdfs - folder with application - should be copied to HDFS
| |- workflow.xml - Oozie workflow xml (1.0 schema)
| |- ... - additional folders required to be copied to HDFS
|- configuration.template.properties - template of configuration values used during conversion
|- configuration.properties - generated properties for configuration values
Converted Airflow DAGs use common libraries. Those libraries should be available on PYTHONPATH for all Airflow components - scheduler, webserver and workers - so that they can be imported when DAGs are parsed.
Those libraries are in o2a/o2a_libs folder and the easiest way to make them available to
all the DAGs is to install them from PyPi via pip install o2a-lib
.
A fork node splits the path of execution into multiple concurrent paths of execution.
A join node waits until every concurrent execution of the previous fork node arrives to it. The fork and join nodes must be used in pairs. The join node assumes concurrent execution paths are children of the same fork node.
<workflow-app name="[WF-DEF-NAME]" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
...
<fork name="[FORK-NODE-NAME]">
<path start="[NODE-NAME]" />
...
<path start="[NODE-NAME]" />
</fork>
...
<join name="[JOIN-NODE-NAME]" to="[NODE-NAME]" />
...
</workflow-app>
A decision node enables a workflow to make a selection on the execution path to follow.
The behavior of a decision node can be seen as a switch-case statement.
A decision node consists of a list of predicates-transition pairs plus a default transition. Predicates are evaluated in order or appearance until one of them evaluates to true and the corresponding transition is taken. If none of the predicates evaluates to true the default transition is taken.
Predicates are JSP Expression Language (EL) expressions (refer to section 4.2 of this document) that resolve into a boolean value, true or false . For example:
${fs:fileSize('/usr/foo/myinputdir') gt 10 * GB}
<workflow-app name="[WF-DEF-NAME]" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
...
<decision name="[NODE-NAME]">
<switch>
<case to="[NODE_NAME]">[PREDICATE]</case>
...
<case to="[NODE_NAME]">[PREDICATE]</case>
<default to="[NODE_NAME]"/>
</switch>
</decision>
...
</workflow-app>
The start node is the entry point for a workflow job, it indicates the first workflow node the workflow job must transition to.
When a workflow is started, it automatically transitions to the node specified in the start .
A workflow definition must have one start node.
<workflow-app name="[WF-DEF-NAME]" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
...
<start to="[NODE-NAME]"/>
...
</workflow-app>
The end node is the end for a workflow job, it indicates that the workflow job has completed successfully.
When a workflow job reaches the end it finishes successfully (SUCCEEDED).
If one or more actions started by the workflow job are executing when the end node is reached, the actions will be killed. In this scenario the workflow job is still considered as successfully run.
A workflow definition must have one end node.
<workflow-app name="[WF-DEF-NAME]" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
...
<end name="[NODE-NAME]"/>
...
</workflow-app>
The kill node allows a workflow job to exit with an error.
When a workflow job reaches the kill it finishes in error (KILLED).
If one or more actions started by the workflow job are executing when the kill node is reached, the actions will be killed.
A workflow definition may have zero or more kill nodes.
<workflow-app name="[WF-DEF-NAME]" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1">
...
<kill name="[NODE-NAME]">
<message>[MESSAGE-TO-LOG]</message>
</kill>
...
</workflow-app>
As of now, a very minimal set of Oozie EL
functions are supported. The way they work is that an EL expression is being translated to
a jinja template. The translation is performed using Lark.
All required variables should be passed in job.properties
. Equivalents of EL functions can be found in
o2a_libs/functions.py
.
For example the following EL expression
${wf:user() == firstNotNull(arg1, arg2)}
is translated to the following jinja equivalent:
{{functions.wf.user() == functions.first_not_null(arg1, arg2)}}
and it requires that job.properties
includes values for arg1
and arg2
.
This design allows for custom EL function mapping if one so chooses. By
default everything gets mapped to the module o2a_libs.functions
. This means in
order to use EL function mapping, the folder o2a_libs.functions
should
be copied over to the Airflow DAG folder. This should then be picked up and
parsed by the Airflow workers and then available to all DAGs.
Workflow jobs can be configured to make an HTTP GET notification upon start and end of a workflow action node and upon the start and completion of a workflow job. More information in Oozie docs.
Oozie-to-Airflow supports this feature.
The job.properties
file has contain URLs for workflow and action node notifications - example below:
oozie.wf.workflow.notification.url=http://example.com/workflow?job-id=$jobId&status=$status
oozie.wf.action.notification.url=http://example.com/action?job-id=$jobId&node-name=$nodeName&status=$status
If they are present, Oozie-to-Airflow will insert additional BashOperator
to the generated DAG
for each notification to be sent, right before or after the appropriate node (for node notifications) or at the beginning or end
of the workflow (for workflow notifications).
Inside the BashOperator
will use curl
to send an HTTP GET request to the appropriate URL endpoint.
Example DAG without notifications:
The same DAG with notifications:
Due to the fact that Oozie and Airflow differ with regards to some aspects of running workflows, there may be some differences in the output Airflow DAG with regards to the Oozie XML.
In Airflow you don't need as many explicit control nodes as in Oozie. For example you don't ever need a Start node and in most cases End is also not needed.
We introduced the concept of Transformers
in O2A, which modify the workflow. Below are the ones that
remove unnecessary control nodes:
RemoveEndTransformer
- removes End nodes with all relations when it's not connected to a Decision node,RemoveKillTransformer
- removes Kill nodes with all relations when it's not connected to a Decision node,RemoveStartTransformer
- removes Start nodes with all relations,RemoveForkTransformer
- removes Fork nodes when there are no upstream nodes,RemoveJoinTransformer
- removes Join nodes when there are no downstream nodes.
In Oozie for a node to be executed it has to be able to be traced back to the Start node. If a node is "loose" and is not connected to Start in any way (directly or indirectly via its "parents") it will be skipped.
However in Airflow all tasks will be executed. Therefore in order to replicate the "skipping" of loose nodes behaviour of Oozie we need to remove nodes unconnected to Start during the conversion phase.
This is achieved thanks to the RemoveInaccessibleNodeTransformer
.
There are few limitations in the implementation of the Oozie-To-Airflow converter. It's not possible to write a converter that handles all cases of complex workflows from Ooozie because some of functionalities available are not possible to map easily to existing Airflow Operators or cannot be tested because of the current Dataproc + Composer limitations. Some of those limitations might be removed in the future. Below is a list of common known limitations that we are aware of for now.
Many of those limitations are not blockers - the workflows will still be converted to Python DAGs and it should be possible to manually (or automatically) post-process the DAGs to add custom functionality. So even with those limitations in place you can still save a ton of work when converting many Oozie workflows.
In the following, "Examples" section more specific per-action limitations are listed as well.
At the time of this writing we were not able to determine if file/archive functionality works as intended. While we map appropriate file/archive methods it seems that Oozie treats file/archive somewhat erraticaly. This is not a blocker to run most of the operations, however some particular complex workflows might be problematic. Further testing with real, production Oozie workflows is needed to verify our implementation.
Oozie implements a number of ways how configuration parameters are passed to actions. Out of the existing configuration options the following ones are not supported (but can be easily added as needed):
- The config-default.xml file
- Parameters section of workflow.xml
- Handle Global configuration properties
The uber.jar feature is not supported. Oozie docs
Oozie adds .so and .jar files from the lib folder to Local Cache for all the jobs run to LD_LIBRARY_PATH/CLASSPATH. Currently only Java Mapper supports it.
The Kill Node might have custom log message specified. This is not implemented. Oozie docs
In several actions you can capture output from tasks. This is not yet implemented. Example Oozie docs
Currently all subworkflow DAGs must be in examples folder
Currently many EL-functions are implemented (basic functions, fs functions and subset od wf functions).
Check this document
for full information about current state. The following wf:functions
are not implemented:
wf:actionTrackerUri
wf:actionExternalId
wf:actionData
wf:run
wf:errorMessage
wf:errorCode
wf:transition
wf:callback
wf:group
wf:appPath
- Hadoop Counters
All implemented function could be found in o2a_libs module. Camel case names of Oozie functions were substituted with snake case equivalents (ex. lastErrorNode becomes last_error_node).
Additionally some already implemented functions may not preserve the full logic of the original EL-expression due to differences between Oozie and Airflow. It's difficult to implement it in generic-enough way to cover all possible cases, it's much easier to eave the implementation of those functions to the user. It's perfectly possible to provide your own implementation of each of those functions if you need to customise it and in many cases it will be easier if it's specific implementation rather than generic one.
In Oozie, the oozie.wf.workflow.notification.proxy
property can be used to configure proxy,
through which notifications will be sent.
This is not supported. Currently notifications will be sent directly, without proxy.
An easy way of running the workflows of Oozie as well as running the oozie-to-airflow converted DAGs in Airflow is by using Cloud Composer and Dataproc in GCP. This the environment supported currently by the converter and one that it was heavily tested with. These services allow testing without much need for an on-premise setup. Here are some details about the environment that is supported:
- composer-2.2.0-airflow-2.5.1
- python version 3 (3.8.10)
- machine n1-standard-1
- node count: 3
- Additional PyPi packages:
- sshtunnel==0.1.4
- n1-standard-2, 4 vCPU, 20 GB memory (! Minimum 16 GB RAM needed)
- primary disk size, 50 GB
- Image 1.3.29-debian9
- Hadoop version
- Init action: oozie-5.2.sh
Those are the steps you should follow to set it up:
- Create a Dataproc cluster see Creating Dataproc Cluster below
- Create a Cloud Composer Environment with at least Airflow version 2.0 to test the Apache Airflow workflows.
- Set up all required Airflow Connections
in Composer. This is required for things like
SSHOperator
.
We prepared Dataproc initialization action that allows to run Oozie 5.2.0 on Dataproc.
Please upload oozie-5.2.sh to your GCS bucket and create cluster using following command:
Note that you need at least 20GB RAM to run Oozie jobs on the cluster. The custom machine type below has enough RAM to handle oozie.
gcloud dataproc clusters create <CLUSTER_NAME> --region europe-west1 --subnet default --zone "" \
--single-node --master-machine-type custom-4-20480 --master-boot-disk-size 500 \
--image-version 1.3-deb9 --project <PROJECT_NAME> --initialization-actions 'gs://<BUCKET>/<FOLDER>/oozie-5.1.sh' \
--initialization-action-timeout=30m
Note 1: it might take ~20 minutes to create the cluster Note 2: the init-action works only with single-node cluster and Dataproc 1.3
Once cluster is created, steps from example map reduce job can be run on master node to execute Oozie's example Map-Reduce job.
Oozie is serving web UI on port 11000. To enable access to it please follow official instructions on how to connect to the cluster web interfaces.
List of jobs with their statuses can be also shown by issuing oozie jobs
command on master node.
More about testing the Oozie to Airflow conversion process can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md
All examples can be found in the examples directory.
- EL
- SSH
- MapReduce
- FS
- Java
- Pig
- Shell
- Spark
- Sub-workflow
- DistCp
- Decision
- Hive/Hive2
- Demo
- Child workflow
The Oozie Expression Language (EL) example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/el -o output/el
This will showcase the ability to use the o2a/o2a_libs folder to map EL functions to Python methods. This example assumes that the user has a valid Apache Airflow SSH connection set up and the o2a/o2a_libs folder has been copied to the dags folder (preserving o2a parent directory).
Please keep in mind that as of the current version only a single EL variable or single EL function. Variable/function chaining is not currently supported.
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/el/
folder.
Decision example is not yet fully functional as EL functions are not yet fully implemented so condition is hard-coded for now. Once EL functions are implemented, the condition in the example will be updated.
Github issue: Implement decision node
In order to change the user
or host
in the example, please edit the
examples/ssh/hdfs/workflow.xml
.
The ssh example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/ssh -o output/ssh
This will convert the specified Oozie XML and write the output into the
specified output directory, in this case output/ssh/ssh.py
.
There are some differences between Apache Oozie and Apache Airflow as far as the SSH specification goes. In Airflow you will have to add/edit an SSH-specific connection that contains the credentials required for the specified SSH action. For example, if the SSH node looks like:
<action name="ssh">
<ssh xmlns="uri:oozie:ssh-action:0.1">
<host>[email protected]</host>
<command>echo</command>
<args>"Hello Oozie!"</args>
</ssh>
<ok to="end"/>
<error to="fail"/>
</action>
Then the default Airflow SSH connection, ssh_default
should have at
the very least a password set. This can be found in the Airflow Web UI
under Admin > Connections. From the command line it is impossible to
edit connections so you must add one like:
airflow connections --add --conn_id <SSH_CONN_ID> --conn_type SSH --conn_password <PASSWORD>
More information can be found in Airflow's documentation.
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/ssh/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the SSHOperator
in Airflow.
No known limitations.
Make sure to first copy /examples/email/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Email example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/email -o output/email
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/email/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the EmailOperator
in Airflow.
In Oozie the SMTP server configuration is located in oozie-site.xml
.
For Airflow it needs to be located in airflow.cfg
.
Example Airflow SMTP configuration:
[email]
email_backend = airflow.utils.email.send_email_smtp
[smtp]
smtp_host = example.com
smtp_starttls = True
smtp_ssl = False
smtp_user = airflow_user
smtp_password = password
smtp_port = 587
smtp_mail_from = [email protected]
For more information on setting Airflow configuration options see here.
1. Attachments are not supported
Due to the complexity of extracting files from HDFS inside Airflow and providing them
for the EmailOperator
, the functionality of sending attachments has not yet been
implemented.
Solution: Implement in O2A a mechanism to extract a file from HDFS inside Airflow.
Github Issue: Add support for attachment in Email mapper
2. <content_type>
tag is not supported
From Oozie docs:
From uri:oozie:email-action:0.2 one can also specify mail content type as <content_type>text/html</content_type>. โtext/plainโ is default.
Unfortunately, currently the EmailOperator
only accepts the mime_subtype
parameter.
However it only works for multipart subtypes, as the operator appends the subtype
to the multipart/
prefix. Therefore passing either html
or plain
from Oozie makes no sense.
As a result the email will always be sent with the EmailOperator
's default Content-Type value,
which is multipart/mixed
.
Solution: Modify the Airflow's EmailOperator
to support more
content types.
Github Issue: Content type support in Email mapper
3. cc
and bcc
fields are not templated in EmailOperator
Only the 'to', 'subject' and 'html_content' fields in EmailOperator are templated.
In practice this covers all fields of an Oozie email action node apart from cc
and bcc
.
Therefore if there is an EL function in the action node in either of these two fields which will require a Jinja expression in Airflow, it will not work - the expression will not be executed, but rather treated as a plain string.
Solution: Modify the Airflow's EmailOperator
to mark more fields as
template_fields
.
Github Issue: The CC: and BCC: fields are not templated in EmailOperator
Make sure to first copy examples/mapreduce/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The MapReduce example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/mapreduce -o output/mapreduce
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/mapreduce/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the DataProcHadoopOperator
in Airflow.
1. Exit status not available
From the Oozie documentation:
The counters of the Hadoop job and job exit status (FAILED, KILLED or SUCCEEDED) must be available to the workflow job after the Hadoop jobs ends. This information can be used from within decision nodes and other actions configurations.
Currently we use the DataProcHadoopOperator
which does not store the job exit status in an XCOM for other tasks to use.
Issue in Github: Implement exit status and counters in MapReduce Action
2. Configuration options
From the Oozie documentation (the strikethrough is from us):
Hadoop JobConf properties can be specified as part of
the config-default.xml orJobConf XML file bundled with the workflow application or<global> tag in workflow definition or- Inline map-reduce action configuration or
An implementation of OozieActionConfigurator specified by the tag in workflow definition.
Currently the only supported way of configuring the map-reduce action is with the
inline action configuration, i.e. using the <configuration>
tag in the workflow's XML file definition.
Issues in Github:
- Add support for config-default.xml
- Add support for parameters section of the workflow.xml
- Handle global configuration properties
3. Streaming and pipes
Streaming and pipes are currently not supported.
Issue in github Implement streaming support
Make sure to first copy examples/fs/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The FS example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/fs -o output/fs
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/fs/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the BashOperator
in Airflow.
Not all FS operations are currently idempotent. It's not a problem if prepare action is used in other tasks but might be a problem in certain situations. Fixing the operators to be idempotent requires more complex logic and support for Pig actions is missing currently.
Issue in Github: FS Mapper and idempotence
The dirFiles are not supported in FSMapper.
Issue in Github: Add support for dirFiles in FsMapper
Make sure to first copy examples/fs/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Java example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/java -o output/java
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/java/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the DataProcHadoopOperator
in Airflow.
- Overriding action's Main class via
oozie.launcher.action.main.class
is not implemented.
Issue in Github: Override Java main class with property
Make sure to first copy examples/pig/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Pig example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/pig -o output/pig
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/pig/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the DataProcPigOperator
in Airflow.
1. Configuration options
From the Oozie documentation (the strikethrough is from us):
Hadoop JobConf properties can be specified as part of
the config-default.xml orJobConf XML file bundled with the workflow application or<global> tag in workflow definition or- Inline pig action configuration.
Currently the only supported way of configuring the pig action is with the
inline action configuration, i.e. using the <configuration>
tag in the workflow's XML file definition.
Issues in Github:
- Add support for config-default.xml
- Add support for parameters section of the workflow.xml
- Handle global configuration properties
Make sure to first copy examples/shell/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Shell example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/shell -o output/shell
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/shell/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the BashOperator
in Airflow, which executes the desired shell
action with Pig by invoking gcloud dataproc jobs submit pig --cluster=<cluster> --region=<region> --execute 'sh <action> <args>'
.
1. Exit status not available
From the Oozie documentation:
The output (STDOUT) of the Shell job can be made available to the workflow job after the Shell job ends. This information could be used from within decision nodes.
Currently we use the BashOperator
which can store only the last line of the job output in an XCOM.
In this case the line is not helpful as it relates to the Dataproc job submission status and
not the Shell action's result.
Issue in Github: Finalize shell mapper
2. No Shell launcher configuration
From the Oozie documentation:
Shell launcher configuration can be specified with a file, using the job-xml element, and inline, using the configuration elements.
Currently there is no way specify the shell launcher configuration (it is ignored).
Issue in Github: Shell Launcher Configuration
Make sure to first copy /examples/spark/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Spark example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/spark -o output/spark
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/spark/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the DataProcSparkOperator
in Airflow.
1. Only tasks written in Java are supported
From the Oozie documentation:
The jar element indicates a comma separated list of jars or python files.
The solution was tested with only a single Jar file.
2. No Spark launcher configuration
From the Oozie documentation:
Shell launcher configuration can be specified with a file, using the job-xml element, and inline, using the configuration elements.
Currently there is no way to specify the Spark launcher configuration (it is ignored).
3. Not all elements are supported
The following elements are not supported: job-tracker
, name-node
, master
, mode
.
Make sure to first copy examples/subwf/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Sub-workflow example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/subwf -o output/subwf
In this example the output (together with sub-worfklow dag) will be created in the ./output/subwf/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the SubDagOperator
in Airflow.
No known limitations.
Make sure to first copy examples/distcp/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The DistCp example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/distcp -o output/distcp
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/distcp/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the BashOperator
in Airflow, which submits the Hadoop DistCp job using the
gcloud dataproc jobs submit hadoop
command.
The system test of the example run with Oozie fails due to unknown reasons. The converted DAG run by Airflow completes successfully.
Make sure to first copy examples/decision/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The decision example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/decision -o output/decision
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/decision/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the BranchPythonOperator
in Airflow.
Decision example is not yet fully functional as EL functions are not yet fully implemented so condition is hard-coded for now. Once EL functions are implemented, the condition in the example will be updated.
Github issue: Implement decision node
Make sure to first copy /examples/hive/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The Hive example can be run as:
o2a -i examples/hive -o output/hive
In this example the output will be created in the ./output/hive/
folder.
The converted DAG uses the DataProcHiveOperator
in Airflow.
1. Only the connection to the local Hive instance is supported.
Connection configuration options are not supported.
2. Not all elements are supported
For Hive, the following elements are not supported: job-tracker
, name-node
.
For Hive2, the following elements are not supported: job-tracker
, name-node
, jdbc-url
, password
.
The Github issue for both problems: Hive connection configuration and other elements
The demo example contains several action and control nodes. The control
nodes are fork
, join
, decision
, start
, end
, and kill
. As far as action
nodes go, there are fs
, map-reduce
, and pig
.
Most of these are already supported, but when the program encounters a node it does not know how to parse, it will perform a sort of "skeleton transformation" - it will convert all the unknown nodes to dummy nodes. This will allow users to manually parse the nodes if they so wish as the control flow is there.
Make sure to first copy examples/demo/configuration.template.properties
, rename it as
configuration.properties
and fill in with configuration data.
The demo can be run as:
o2a -i examples/demo -o output/demo

In this example the output will be created in the ./output/childwf/
folder.
