1. Monitoring Kyuubi - Logging System

Kyuubi uses Apache Log4j for logging.

In general, there are mainly three components in the Kyuubi architecture that will produce component-oriented logs to help you trace breadcrumbs for SQL workloads against Kyuubi.

  • Logs of Kyuubi Server

  • Logs of Kyuubi Engines

  • Operation logs

In addition, a Kyuubi deployment for production usually relies on some other external systems. For example, both Kyuubi servers and engines will use Apache Zookeeper for service discovery. The instructions for external system loggings will not be included in this article.

1.1. Logs of Kyuubi Server

Logs of Kyuubi Server show us the activities of the server instance including how start/stop, how does it response client requests, etc.

1.1.1. Configuring Server Logging

Basic Configurations

You can configure it by adding a log4j.properties file in the $KYUUBI_HOME/conf directory. One way to start is to make a copy of the existing log4j.properties.template located there.

For example,

# cd $KYUUBI_HOME
cp conf/log4j.properties.template conf/log4j.properties

With or without the above step, by default the server logging will redirect the logs to a file named kyuubi-${env:USER}-org.apache.kyuubi.server.KyuubiServer-${env:HOSTNAME}.out under the directory of $KYUUBI_HOME/logs.

For example, you can easily find where the server log goes when staring a Kyuubi server from the console output.

$ export SPARK_HOME=/Users/kentyao/Downloads/spark/spark-3.2.0-bin-hadoop3.2
$ cd ~/svn-kyuubi/v1.3.1-incubating-rc0/apache-kyuubi-1.3.1-incubating-bin
$ bin/kyuubi start

KYUUBI_LOG_DIR

You may also notice that there is an environment variable called KYUUBI_LOG_DIR in the above example.

KYUUBI_LOG_DIR determines which folder we want to put our server log files.

For example, the below command will locate the log files to /Users/kentyao/tmp.

$ mkdir /Users/kentyao/tmp
$ KYUUBI_LOG_DIR=/Users/kentyao/tmp bin/kyuubi start
Starting org.apache.kyuubi.server.KyuubiServer, logging to /Users/kentyao/tmp/kyuubi-kentyao-org.apache.kyuubi.server.KyuubiServer-hulk.local.out

KYUUBI_MAX_LOG_FILES

KYUUBI_MAX_LOG_FILES controls how many log files will be remained after a Kyuubi server reboots.

Custom Log4j Settings

Taking control of $KYUUBI_HOME/conf/log4j.properties will also give us the ability of customizing server logging as we want.

For example, we can disable the console appender and enable the file appender like,

log4j.rootCategory=INFO, FA
log4j.appender.FA=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FA.append=false
log4j.appender.FA.file=log/dummy.log
log4j.appender.FA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FA.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %t %p %c{2}: %m%n
log4j.appender.FA.Threshold=DEBUG

Then everything goes to log/dummy.log.

1.2. Logs of Spark SQL Engine

Spark SQL Engine is one type of Kyuubi Engines and also a typical Spark application. Thus, its logs mainly contain the logs of a Spark Driver. Meanwhile, it also includes how all the services of an engine start/stop, how does it response the incoming calls from Kyuubi servers, etc.

In general, when an exception occurs, we are able to find more information and clues in the engine’s logs.

1.2.1. Configuring Engine Logging

Please refer to Apache Spark online documentation -Configuring Logging for instructions.

1.2.2. Where to Find the Engine Log

The engine logs locate differently based on the deploy mode and the cluster manager. When using local backend or client deploy mode for other cluster managers, such as YARN, you can find the whole engine log in $KYUUBI_WORK_DIR_ROOT/${session username}/kyuubi-spark-sql-engine.log.${num}. Different session users have different folders to group all live and historical engine logs. Each engine will have one and only engine log. When using cluster deploy mode, the local engine logs only contain very little information, the main parts of engine logs are on the remote driver side, e.g. for YARN cluster, they are in ApplicationMasters’ log.

1.3. Operation Logs

Operation log will show how SQL queries are executed, such as query planning, execution, and statistic reports.

Operation logs can reveal directly to end-users how their queries are being executed on the server/engine-side, including some process-oriented information, and why their queries are slow or in error.

For example, when you, as an end-user, use beeline to connect a Kyuubi server and execute query like below.

bin/beeline -u 'jdbc:hive2://10.242.189.214:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=kyuubi' -n kent -e 'select * from src;'

You will both get the final results and the corresponding operation logs telling you the journey of the query.
