Updating code configurations on a running cluster - Amazon FinSpace

Updating code configurations on a running cluster

Amazon FinSpace allows you to update code configurations on a running cluster. You can either use the console or the UpdateKxClusterCodeConfiguration API to update the code. Both console and API allow you to choose how you want to update the code on a cluster by using different deployment modes. Based on the option you choose, you can reduce the time it takes to update the code on to a cluster. You can also add or delete default compression parameters for your files by using command-line arguments.

Note

The configuration that you update will override any existing configurations on the cluster.

To update code configurations on a cluster by using the console

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon FinSpace console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/finspace.

  2. Choose Kdb environments.

  3. From the list of environments, choose a kdb environment.

  4. On the environment details page, choose the Clusters tab.

  5. From the list of clusters, choose the one where you want to update the code. The cluster details page opens.

  6. On the cluster details page, choose the Details tab.

  7. Under Code section, choose Edit.

    Note

    This button is only available for an Active environment and when the cluster is in a Running state.

  8. On the Edit code configuration page, choose how you want to update a cluster by choosing a deployment mode. The following options are available.

    • Rolling – (Default) Loads the code by stopping the exiting q process and starting a new q process with updated configuration.

    • Quick – Loads the code by stopping all the running nodes immediately.

  9. Specify the S3 URI and the Object version. This allows you to choose the .zip file containing code that should be available on the cluster.

  10. For Initialization script, enter the relative path that contains a q program script that will run at the launch of a cluster.

  11. (Optional) Add or update the key-value pairs as command line arguments to configure the behavior of clusters.

    You can use the command-line arguments to set zip defaults for your cluster. The cluster has to be restarted for the changes to take effect. For this, pass the following key-value pair:

    • Key: AWS_ZIP_DEFAULT

    • Value: 17,2,6

      The value consists of comma separated three numbers that represent logical block size, algorithm, and compression level respectively. For more information, see compression parameters.

      To update the compression default using AWS CLI, use the following command:

      aws finspace update-kx-cluster-code-configuration \
    ...
    --command-line-arguments '[{"key": "AWS_ZIP_DEFAULT", "value":"17,3,0"}]' \
    --deploymentConfiguration deploymentStrategy=ROLLING|FORCE
    ...

  12. Choose Save changes. The cluster details page opens and the updated code configuration is displayed once the cluster updates successfully.
