Week 6 :- CERN-HSF @ GSoC 2018

This week, I worked on adding Job Attributes like Owner, Job Group, Running Time etc. to ElasticSearch.

The main idea behind such a move is that in future we would like to see these attributes as part of Job Parameters. This would allow for easier and efficient queries as it these attributes are commonly accessed in most of the functions.

The changes/additions made to the existing code are:

1. Modified "setJobParameter" to receive these parameters as keywords, meaning they can be sent to the function but not necessarily required. The index has been modified with additions of the following attributes:

  • Job Group
  • Owner
  • Proxy
  • Submission Time
  • Running Time
2. Add "getJobParametersAndAttributes" function in order to access results based on JobID, containing both Parameters (Name, Value) and Attributes (all five mentioned above).

Along with this, existing codes were modified to use these functions, as well as some issues, were fixed in tests, Monitoring etc.

All my commits can be found below:
  1. Add attributes to ES: 677ad2333d031c82e502aba20d48ac3118ec3ddb
  2. Fix issues in Monitoring and MySQL: 61180f8da0a6bd6d4da3c13203a5449a81f93166
That's all done for the week 😄.

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 .

Community Bonding :- CERN-HSF @ GSoC 2018

The community bonding period is a crucial period in the GSoC program. I have been in constant contact with my immediate mentor Federico and other mentors Christophe and Zoltan. In this time-period, we have had communication via IM, Emails etc. Also, I had interaction with the GSoC mentors which are responsible for the functioning of the GSoC program with CERN-HSF, specifically Antoine and Enric, who conducted a conference meeting with all the students and gave us the guidelines and warnings to be a successful student in the GSoC program and described about the incentives to students with good work. The conversations have been quite helpful and invigorated me with excitement to complete my project with full dedication.
