Week 4 :- CERN-HSF @ GSoC 2018

This week I started working on two aspects:-

  1. First, adding a second flag to stop reporting to the MySQL backend. Currently, the scenario is the DIRAC project would be using both ElasticSearch and MySQL backend concurrently for storing and retrieving values from the database. This extended support to use both is kept so that the current users don't face problem from transitioning from one DB to other.                                                                                                                         The use of this second flag is to stop reporting to the MySQL backend once the project wholly starts using ES, we would just need to keep this flag as False which would stop using MySQL backend.                                                                                                                                           
  2. Until last week, we were just focused on retrieving Job Parameters from the ES backend. Now, we have integrated ES with JobStateUpdate service, which is able to write and update Job Parameters using the 'setJobParameter' function, as written earlier for the ElasticJobDB.py

The work history can be followed at this Pull Request: #3708.

That's all for this week, folks. Next week, we have GSoC's first evaluation and mostly dealing with documentation aspects.

My GSoC experience with CERN-HSF, Summer 2018

The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program is one of the most prestigious programs for student developers, who are eager to work and demonstrate their skills in a full-fledged working environment. The program gives this opportunity to students all around the world and I feel good that I was selected for this program with the CERN-HSF organization, one of the pioneer organizations for nuclear research. My experience started before the GSoC program, with the first contact with the current mentor, Federico Stagni where we discussed the proposed project and my suitability for it by performing some tasks that are available here . Based on performance and my timelines, I submitted my proposal which went through multiple revisions with inputs from my mentor Federico and self-improvements. Finally, almost after a month of wait, students selected for GSoC 2018's program were announced and found myself fortunate to be selected with the following project with CERN-HSF:-  Monitoring and...

Week 9 :- CERN-HSF @ GSoC 2018

This week I was involved with working on Pull Request 3744  where some changes were demanded by other members of the organization as per the requirements of other components of the project. Firstly, as we moved towards adding a Jobs Status table (discussed in another post of the blog), which has eased and increased efficiency for query processing, we need to take care of the modules that accessed that table during any of there functions. Hence, it became important to analyze and test every module available in the Workload Management System as well as other modules that are accessing the table. A string of commits can be found below for the work done during this week: 0b1a63594eec932c12669d3274d5da705d9e2ffb fdda6f1fa473f866f0b552b838761f1201bc3c5b All the commits related to this issue can be found in this Pull Request .

Week 5 :- CERN-HSF @ GSoC 2018

This week I was involved with documentation and testing of the two DB backends: MySQL and ElasticSearch. Documentation: Added developer documentation for using the ES backend for Job Monitoring and Job Status Update. Includes all the functions of ES and in general full documentation of the Workload Management System (not present before in developer documentation). Performance Tests: It is very important that we are at least able to achieve similar performance while using ES backend when compared to MySQL DB. It should also be remembered that the main objective of moving to ES backend is efficient data management as currently, MySQL doesn't store all the incoming data and query processing also becomes difficult in that case. After implementing and using both backends individually, I tested both the DBs performance using multi-mechanize ( link ), a tool which helps in running concurrent process on a specified number of threads. Some of the results can be found here for ...
