Hari Sekhon - DevOps Python Tools
Hadoop, Spark / PySpark, HBase, Pig, Ambari, IPython and Linux Tools
A few of the Big Data, NoSQL & Linux tools I've written over the years. All programs have --help
to list the available options.
For many more tools see the DevOps Perl Tools and Advanced Nagios Plugins Collection repos which contains many Hadoop, NoSQL, Web and infrastructure tools and Nagios plugins.

make update
if updating and not just git pull
as you will often need the latest library submodule and possibly new upstream libraries.
Make sure you run Quick Start
Ready to run Docker image
All programs and their pre-compiled dependencies can be found ready to run on DockerHub.
List all programs:
docker run harisekhon/pytools
Run any given program:
docker run harisekhon/pytools <program> <args>
Automated Build from source
git clone https://github.com/harisekhon/devops-python-tools pytools
cd pytools
make
Make sure to read Detailed Build Instructions further down for more information.
Some Hadoop tools with require Jython, see Jython for Hadoop Utils for details.
Usage
All programs come with a --help
switch which includes a program description and the list of command line options.
Environment variables are supported for convenience and also to hide credentials from being exposed in the process list eg. $PASSWORD
, $TRAVIS_TOKEN
. These are indicated in the --help
descriptions in brackets next to each option and often have more specific overrides with higher precedence eg. $AMBARI_HOST
, $HBASE_HOST
take priority over $HOST
.
DevOps Python Tools
- Linux:
anonymize.py
- anonymizes your configs / logs from files or stdin (for pasting to Apache Jira tickets or mailing lists)- anonymizes:
- hostnames / domains / FQDNs
- email addresses
- IP + MAC addresses
- Kerberos principals
- LDAP sensitive fields (eg. CN, DN, OU, UID, sAMAccountName, member, memberOf...)
- Cisco & Juniper ScreenOS configurations passwords, shared keys and SNMP strings
anonymize_custom.conf
- put regex of your Name/Company/Project/Database/Tables to anonymize to<custom>
- placeholder tokens indicate what was stripped out (eg.
<fqdn>
,<password>
,<custom>
) --ip-prefix
leaves the last IP octect to aid in cluster debugging to still see differentiated nodes communicating with each other to compare configs and log communications--hash-hostnames
- hashes hostnames to look like Docker temporary container ID hostnames so that vendors support teams can differentiate hosts in clustersanonymize_parallel.sh
- splits files in to multiple parts and runsanonymize.py
on each part in parallel before re-joining back in to a file of the same name with a.anonymized
suffix. Preserves order of evaluation important for anonymization rules, as well as maintaining file content order. On servers this parallelization can result in a 30x speed up for large log files
- anonymizes:
find_duplicate_files.py
- finds duplicate files in one or more directory trees via multiple methods including file basename, size, MD5 comparison of same sized files, or bespoke regex capture of partial file basenamewelcome.py
- cool spinning welcome message greeting your username and showing last login time and user to put in your shell's.profile
(there is also a perl version in my DevOps Perl Tools repo)

- Spark & Data Format Converters:
- Docker:
docker_registry_show_tags.py
/dockerhub_show_tags.py
/quay_show_tags.py
- shows tags for docker repos in a docker registry or on DockerHub or Quay.io - Docker CLI doesn't support this yet but it's a very useful thing to be able to see live on the command line or use in shell scripts (use-q
/--quiet
to return only the tags for easy shell scripting). You can use this to pre-download all tags of a docker image before running tests across versions in a simple bash for loop, eg.docker_pull_all_tags.sh
dockerhub_search.py
- search DockerHub with a configurable number of returned results (officialdocker search
is limited to only 25 results), using--verbose
will also show you how many results were returned to the termainal and how many DockerHub has in total (use-q / --quiet
to return only the image names for easy shell scripting). This can be used to download all of my DockerHub images in a simple bash for loop eg.docker_pull_all_images.sh
and can be chained withdockerhub_show_tags.py
to download all tagged versions for all docker images eg.docker_pull_all_images_all_tags.sh
dockerfiles_check_git*.py
- check Git tags & branches align with the containing Dockerfile'sARG *_VERSION
- Travis CI:
travis_last_log.py
- fetches Travis CI latest running / completed / failed build log for given repo - useful for quickly getting the log of the last failed build when CCMenu or BuildNotify applets turn redtravis_debug_session.py
- launches a Travis CI interactive debug build session via Travis API, tracks session creation and drops user straight in to the SSH shell on the remote Travis build, very convenient one shot debug launcher for Travis CI
- Data Validation (useful in CI):
validate_*.py
- validate files, directory trees and/or standard input streams- supports the following file formats:
- Avro
- CSV
- INI / Java Properties (also detects duplicate sections and duplicate keys within sections)
- JSON (both normal and json-doc-per-line bulk / big data format as found in MongoDB and Hadoop json data files)
- LDAP LDIF
- Parquet
- XML
- YAML
- directories are recursed, testing any files with relevant matching extensions (
.avro
,.csv
,json
,parquet
,.ini
/.properties
,.ldif
,.xml
,.yml
/.yaml
) - used for Continuous Integration tests of various adjacent Spark data converters as well as configuration files for things like Presto, Ambari, Apache Drill etc found in my DockerHub images Dockerfiles master repo which contains docker builds and configurations for many open source Big Data & Linux technologies
- supports the following file formats:
Detailed Build Instructions
Python VirtualEnv localized installs
The automated build will use 'sudo' to install required Python PyPI libraries to the system unless running as root or it detects being inside a VirtualEnv. If you want to install some of the common Python libraries using your OS packages instead of installing from PyPI then follow the Manual Build section below.
Manual Setup
Enter the pytools directory and run git submodule init and git submodule update to fetch my library repo:
git clone https://github.com/harisekhon/devops-python-tools pytools
cd pytools
git submodule init
git submodule update
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Offline Setup
Download the DevOps Python Tools and Pylib git repos as zip files:
https://github.com/HariSekhon/devops-python-tools/archive/master.zip
https://github.com/HariSekhon/pylib/archive/master.zip
Unzip both and move Pylib to the pylib
folder under DevOps Python Tools.
unzip devops-python-tools-master.zip
unzip pylib-master.zip
mv -v devops-python-tools-master pytools
mv -v pylib-master pylib
mv -vf pylib pytools/
Proceed to install PyPI modules for whichever programs you want to use using your usual procedure - usually an internal mirror or proxy server to PyPI, or rpms / debs (some libraries are packaged by Linux distributions).
All PyPI modules are listed in the requirements.txt
file.
Internal Mirror example (JFrog Artifactory or similar):
sudo pip install --index https://host.domain.com/api/pypi/repo/simple --trusted host.domain.com -r requirements.txt
Proxy example:
sudo pip install --proxy hari:mypassword@proxy-host:8080 -r requirements.txt
Mac OS X
The automated build also works on Mac OS X but you'll need to download and install Apple XCode. I also recommend you get HomeBrew to install other useful tools and libraries you may need like OpenSSL for development headers and tools such as wget (these are installed automatically if Homebrew is detected on Mac OS X):
brew install openssl wget
If failing to build an OpenSSL lib dependency, just prefix the build command like so:
sudo OPENSSL_INCLUDE=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include OPENSSL_LIB=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib ...
You may get errors trying to install to Python library paths even as root on newer versions of Mac, sometimes this is caused by pip 10 vs pip 9 and downgrading will work around it:
sudo pip install --upgrade pip==9.0.1
make
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
make
Jython for Hadoop Utils
The 3 Hadoop utility programs listed below require Jython (as well as Hadoop to be installed and correctly configured)
hadoop_hdfs_time_block_reads.jy
hadoop_hdfs_files_native_checksums.jy
hadoop_hdfs_files_stats.jy
Run like so:
jython -J-cp $(hadoop classpath) hadoop_hdfs_time_block_reads.jy --help
The -J-cp $(hadoop classpath)
part dynamically inserts the current Hadoop java classpath required to use the Hadoop APIs.
See below for procedure to install Jython if you don't already have it.
Automated Jython Install
This will download and install jython to /opt/jython-2.7.0:
make jython
Manual Jython Install
Jython is a simple download and unpack and can be fetched from http://www.jython.org/downloads.html
Then add the Jython install bin directory to the $PATH or specify the full path to the jython
binary, eg:
/opt/jython-2.7.0/bin/jython hadoop_hdfs_time_block_reads.jy ...
Configuration for Strict Domain / FQDN validation
Strict validations include host/domain/FQDNs using TLDs which are populated from the official IANA list is done via my PyLib library submodule - see there for details on configuring this to permit custom TLDs like .local
, .intranet
, .vm
, .cloud
etc. (all already included in there because they're common across companies internal environments).
Python SSL certificate verification problems
If you end up with an error like:
./dockerhub_show_tags.py centos ubuntu
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:765)
It can be caused by an issue with the underlying Python + libraries due to changes in OpenSSL and certificates. One quick fix is to do the following:
sudo pip uninstall -y certifi &&
sudo pip install certifi==2015.04.28
Updating
Run make update
. This will git pull and then git submodule update which is necessary to pick up corresponding library updates.
If you update often and want to just quickly git pull + submodule update but skip rebuilding all those dependencies each time then run make update-no-recompile
(will miss new library dependencies - do full make update
if you encounter issues).
Testing
Continuous Integration is run on this repo with tests for success and failure scenarios:
- unit tests for the custom supporting python library
- integration tests of the top level programs using the libraries for things like option parsing
- functional tests for the top level programs using local test data and Docker containers
To trigger all tests run:
make test
which will start with the underlying libraries, then move on to top level integration tests and functional tests using docker containers if docker is available.
Contributions
Patches, improvements and even general feedback are welcome in the form of GitHub pull requests and issue tickets.
