TonY CircleCI

tony-logo-small

TonY is a framework to natively run deep learning jobs on Apache Hadoop. It currently supports TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet and Horovod. TonY enables running either single node or distributed training as a Hadoop application. This native connector, together with other TonY features, aims to run machine learning jobs reliably and flexibly. For a quick overview of TonY and comparisons to other frameworks, please see this presentation.

Compatibility Notes

It is recommended to run TonY with Hadoop 3.1.1 and above. TonY itself is compatible with Hadoop 2.7.4 and above. If you need GPU isolation from TonY, you need Hadoop 3.1.0 or higher.

Build

How to build

TonY is built using Gradle. To build TonY, run:

./gradlew build

This will automatically run tests, if want to build without running tests, run:

./gradlew build -x test

The jar required to run TonY will be located in ./tony-cli/build/libs/.

Publishing (for admins)

Follow this guide to generate a key pair using GPG. Publish your public key.

Create a Nexus account at https://oss.sonatype.org/ and request access to publish to com.linkedin.tony. Here's an example Jira ticket: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-47350.

Configure your ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file:

# signing plugin uses these
signing.keyId=...
signing.secretKeyRingFile=/home/<ldap>/.gnupg/secring.gpg
signing.password=...

# maven repo credentials
mavenUser=...
mavenPassword=...

# gradle-nexus-staging-plugin uses these
nexusUsername=<sameAsMavenUser>
nexusPassword=<sameAsMavenPassword>

Now you can publish and release artifacts by running ./gradlew publish closeAndReleaseRepository.

Usage

TonY is a Java library, so it is as simple as running a Java program. There are two ways to launch your deep learning jobs with TonY:

  • Use Docker container.
  • Use a zipped Python virtual environment.

Use a Docker container

Note that this requires you have a properly configured Hadoop cluster with Docker support. Check this documentation if you are unsure how to set it up. Assuming you have properly set up your Hadoop cluster with Docker container runtime, you should have already built a proper Docker image with required Hadoop configurations. The next thing you need is to install your Python dependencies inside your Docker image - TensorFlow or PyTorch.

Below is a folder structure of what you need to launch the job:

MyJob/
  > src/
    > models/
      mnist_distributed.py
  tony.xml
  tony-cli-0.1.5-all.jar

The src/ folder would contain all your training script. The tony.xml is used to config your training job. Specifically for using Docker as the container runtime, your configuration should be similar to something below:

$ cat MyJob/tony.xml
<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.instances</name>
    <value>4</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.memory</name>
    <value>4g</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.gpus</name>
    <value>1</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.ps.memory</name>
    <value>3g</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.docker.enabled</name>
    <value>true</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.docker.containers.image</name>
    <value>YOUR_DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

For a full list of configurations, please see the wiki.

Now you're ready to launch your job:

$ java -cp "`hadoop classpath --glob`:MyJob/*:MyJob/" \
        com.linkedin.tony.cli.ClusterSubmitter \
        -executes models/mnist_distributed.py \
        -task_params '--input_dir /path/to/hdfs/input --output_dir /path/to/hdfs/output' \
        -src_dir src \
        -python_binary_path /home/user_name/python_virtual_env/bin/python

Use a zipped Python virtual environment

The difference between this approach and the one with Docker is

  • You don't need to set up your Hadoop cluster with Docker support.
  • There is no requirement on a Docker image registry.

As you know, nothing comes for free. If you don't want to bother setting your cluster with Docker support, you'd need to prepare a zipped virtual environment for your job and your cluster should have the same OS version as the computer which builds the Python virtual environment.

Python virtual environment in a zip

$ unzip -Z1 my-venv.zip | head -n 10
  Python/
  Python/bin/
  Python/bin/rst2xml.py
  Python/bin/wheel
  Python/bin/rst2html5.py
  Python/bin/rst2odt.py
  Python/bin/rst2s5.py
  Python/bin/pip2.7
  Python/bin/saved_model_cli
  Python/bin/rst2pseudoxml.pyc

TonY jar and tony.xml

MyJob/
  > src/
    > models/
      mnist_distributed.py
  tony.xml
  tony-cli-0.1.5-all.jar
  my-venv.zip # The additional file you need.

A similar tony.xml but without Docker related configurations:

$ cat tony/tony.xml
<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.instances</name>
    <value>4</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.memory</name>
    <value>4g</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.worker.gpus</name>
    <value>1</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>tony.ps.memory</name>
    <value>3g</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

Then you can launch your job:

$ java -cp "`hadoop classpath --glob`:MyJob/*:MyJob" \
            com.linkedin.tony.cli.ClusterSubmitter \
            -executes models/mnist_distributed.py \ # relative path to model program inside the src_dir
            -task_params '--input_dir /path/to/hdfs/input --output_dir /path/to/hdfs/output \
            -python_venv my-venv.zip \
            -python_binary_path Python/bin/python \  # relative path to the Python binary inside the my-venv.zip
            -src_dir src

TonY arguments

The command line arguments are as follows:

Name Required? Example Meaning
executes yes --executes model/mnist.py Location to the entry point of your training code.
src_dir yes --src src/ Specifies the name of the root directory locally which contains all of your python model source code. This directory will be copied to all worker node.
task_params no --input_dir /hdfs/input --output_dir /hdfs/output The command line arguments which will be passed to your entry point
python_venv no --python_venv venv.zip Path to the zipped local Python virtual environment
python_binary_path no --python_binary_path Python/bin/python Used together with python_venv, describes the relative path in your python virtual environment which contains the python binary, or an absolute path to use a python binary already installed on all worker nodes
shell_env no --shell_env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/ Specifies key-value pairs for environment variables which will be set in your python worker/ps processes.
conf_file no --conf_file tony-local.xml Location of a TonY configuration file.
conf no --conf tony.application.security.enabled=false Override configurations from your configuration file via command line

TonY configurations

There are multiple ways to specify configurations for your TonY job. As above, you can create an XML file called tony.xml and add its parent directory to your java classpath.

Alternatively, you can pass -conf_file <name_of_conf_file> to the java command line if you have a file not named tony.xml containing your configurations. (As before, the parent directory of this file must be added to the java classpath.)

If you wish to override configurations from your configuration file via command line, you can do so by passing -conf <tony.conf.key>=<tony.conf.value> argument pairs on the command line.

Please check our wiki for all TonY configurations and their default values.

    Why?

    Try adding the path to your libjvm.so shared library to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for your workers. See above for an example.

  2. How do I configure arbitrary TensorFlow job types?

    Please see the wiki on TensorFlow task configuration for details.
