50% Discount for Hadoop World 2009
Posted by Matt Massie in Announcements on September 12, 2009
For those who don’t know, I joined Cloudera in January of this year. One of my first projects was to help create an Apache 2.0 licensed distribution of Apache Hadoop that is easy-to-install and stable. If you’re interested in running Hadoop on your cluster, you should take a moment to read my recent Cloudera blog post on our latest release. I’m thrilled to be working for a company that values open-source software. I’m also a committer on the Apache Avro project, where I’m working on the C implementation of the Avro marshalling/RPC protocol. Avro has great promise as a replacement for our current XDR/XML schemas. More on that in a later post.
For all the ganglia users out there that run Hadoop on their clusters and want to go to Hadoop World 2009, I’ve got a special discount code for you. Just use the discount code hadoopworld_friend_cloudera_ganglia when you register and you’ll immediately get 50% off the cost of registration (a drop from from $299 to $149.50). This discount code expires September 21st so don’t wait too long to register. I want the ganglia community to have a chance to be strongly represented at Hadoop World.
Hadoop World 2009 will be in New York on October 2nd, 2009. I invite you to come learn about what the following companies have done with Hadoop: About.com, Booz Allen Hamilton, China Mobile, ContextWeb, eBay, Facebook, IBM, Intel, JPMC, Microsoft, The New York Times, NexR, Rackspace, Vertica, Visa, Visible Measures, Yale, and Yahoo! If you have ever wondered what Hadoop might be able to do for you, this is your chance to learn both from leaders in the webspace and within your own industry.
Ganglia 3.1.2 (Langley) Released
Posted by bernard in Announcements, Releases on April 7, 2009
The Ganglia Project (http://ganglia.info) is pleased to announce the official release of Ganglia 3.1.2 The official tarball is available for immediate download at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43021&package_id=35280&release_id=661845
For a full description of the bug fixes and enhancements that are included in the 3.1.2 release as well as upgrade information, please see the current release notes at:
http://ganglia.wiki.sourceforge.net/ganglia_release_notes
Supported platforms:
- Linux (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, SuSE/OpenSuSE)
- [Open]Solaris
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- DragonflyBSD
- Cygwin (no support for DSO yet)
- AIX (no support for DSO yet)
Please read all the README, INSTALL and other available documentation (http://ganglia.wiki.sourceforge.net) as a lot of things have changed since version 3.0. Use good deployment practices when upgrading from 3.0.x to make sure that you do not mix gmond 3.0 and 3.1 nodes in the same cluster (as defined by a multicast address or unicast collector node). The protocol that allows gmond nodes to communicate within the same cluster, has changed. However the XML packets that are passed between gmond and gmetad have remained compatible from 3.0.x to 3.1.x, allowing a 3.1.x gmetad to continue to pull data from an older 3.0.x gmond cluster.

RocketCalc SSH/authd Solution
Posted by Matt Massie in Announcements on October 14, 2004
RocketCalc has developed and maintains a version of OpenSSH that uses Ganglia’s authd authentication. The following is
a is a quote from their web site where the software resides….
Authd is a simple SSL-based authentication mechanism that makes it simple to authenticate users on clusters. Authd was written by Brent N. Chun and is part of the Ganglia package. Authd is used by gexec to launch processes on cluster nodes. We really like gexec and authd. Although gexec is supremely capable for launching jobs, we also thought it would be cool to add authd as an authentication method to OpenSSH. Our patches and source code below do just that. On systems with Ganglia/authd/gexec installed, one can add the modified ssh and use authd for reasonably secure, password-less user authentication on the cluster without any set-up required by the user.
