Data To Compute
Integrating iRODS with a compute environment
In order of increasing complexity and integration...
iRODS as a compute orchestrator
- Launch a job via irule, or as part of a PEP
- Implement a Landing Zone for product capture
iRODS as part of a compute job script
- Stage the source data via replication for the application
- Capture the products and ingest them into iRODS
iRODS as part of the compute application
- Compute application directly leverages the iRODS API to open, read, and write data
The Data to Compute Use Case
Focus on the right side of the picture
iRODS is out of the data path for computation
Goal - Develop generic interface concept for compute
-
Develop a metadata-driven interface to drive path for input data and compute results. Utilize it to
- push data to the proper storage resource
- get a name for the host on which to launch compute job(s)
-
Separate configuration from implementation
- Keep deployment specifics in configuration files
- Keep rule-base, scripts, and modules free of hard-wired values
Goal - Develop a thumbnailing service for iRODS
Interface is through iRODS and SLURM (compute job scheduler):
- Replicate the data to the compute resource
- Send a job to the compute scheduler to generate thumbnails
- Register the thumbnails into the catalog
- Replicate the thumbnails back to long term storage
- Trim replicas on compute resource

Configure the rule engine
As the irods user, add an additional rule base to
/etc/irods/server_config.json :
"rule_engines": [
...
"re_rulebase_set": [
"data_to_compute",
"core"
],
...
]
(Remember that order matters!)
Add in a small python rule-base:
As the irods user, create an /etc/irods/core.py with
the following content:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/var/lib/irods')
from compute.util import pyParseRoleSpec
Python Rule Engine Configuration (re-ordering)
Edit rule engine order in /etc/irods/server_config.json :
- insert the python plugin configuration stanza after the iRODS Rule Language plugin
- if it already exists elsewhere in the config, move (cut/paste) it from that location, but it must occur only once.
- for this exercise, native rule code must supersede python!
"rule_engines": [
{ "instance_name": "irods_rule_engine_plugin-irods_rule_language-instance",
...
},
{
"instance_name" : "irods_rule_engine_plugin-python-instance",
"plugin_name" : "irods_rule_engine_plugin-python",
"plugin_specific_configuration" : {}
},
Configure the LTS and Image Processing Resources
As the irods user:
Make two unix file system resources
iadmin mkresc lts_resc unixfilesystem `hostname`:/tmp/irods/lts_resc iadmin mkresc img_resc unixfilesystem `hostname`:/tmp/irods/img_resc
Annotate them with appropriate metadata given their roles
- defined in the configuration as part of the contract
imeta add -R lts_resc COMPUTE_RESOURCE_ROLE LONG_TERM_STORAGE imeta add -R img_resc COMPUTE_RESOURCE_ROLE IMAGE_PROCESSING
cp ~/irods_training/stickers.jpg /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/irods/thumbnails
sudo chown -R irods:irods /tmp/irods
As the ubuntu user:
Stage data and destination directory for thumbnail creation
The configuration interface
Define interfaces for any necessary conventions
-
Metadata attributes and values
-
Metadata values for implemented roles
-
Interface to job scheduler for launching compute
Single Point of Truth - allows for the use of the same 'end-points' for various metadata standards and naming conventions
Users may utilize metadata conventions to provide inputs to a given compute job
The configuration interface
For the thumbnail service we will need to
-
Get the metadata attribute string that holds the role
-
Get the tag for an Image Compute resource
-
Get the tag for a Long Term Storage resource
-
Get the logical collection name for thumbnails
-
Get the physical path for a thumbnail
-
Get the name of a thumbnail
-
Get a list of desired thumbnail sizes
The configuration interface
iRODS rule file provides interface for job submission

Extending iRODS with the Rule Engine
All rules should be created and tested in user space before being installed as a rule base
Rules may be refactored into a microservice plugin
Rules may be refactored into a C++ rule engine plugin
Rules may be refactored into an API plugin
