Try Lipstick!

Automatically stand up a Lipstick server and Hadoop cluster to try out Lipstick, a graphical Pig job visualization service.

Requirements

Vagrant plus its dependencies (VirtualBox)

Usage

  1. From the command line run run-me.sh. This will download the necessary vagrant box if missing then bring it up. This process entails installing a mysql server for Lipstick to store the state of pig runs, a tomcat server for the Lipstick webapp, and a single node Hadoop cluster for running Pig jobs. As such, don't be suprised when it takes a few minutes to complete.

  2. Kick off a sample pig job by running vagrant ssh -c ./run-example-pig-script.sh. This will execute the provided example pig script which publishes job information to Lipstick.

  3. Point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8080/lipstick-1.0. You should see the Lipstick home page with your job running. Click on this job to see in-depth information about the Pig script and its associated Hadoop jobs.
