Nebula Operator

Nebula Operator manages NebulaGraph clusters on Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a NebulaGraph cluster. It evolved from NebulaGraph Cloud Service, makes NebulaGraph a truly cloud-native database.

Quick Start

install nebula operator

See install/uninstall nebula operator .

Create and destroy a nebula cluster

$ kubectl create -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

A none ha-mode nebula cluster will be created.

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          1m
nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          1m
nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          1m
nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          1m
nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          1m

See client service for how to access nebula clusters created by the operator.
If you are working with kubeadm locally, create a nodePort service and test that nebula is responding:

$ kubectl create -f config/samples/graphd-nodeport-service.yaml

# nebula-console -u user -p password --address=192.168.8.26 --port=32236
2021/04/15 16:50:23 [INFO] connection pool is initialized successfully

Welcome to Nebula Graph!
(user@nebula) [(none)]> 

Destroy the nebula cluster:

$ kubectl delete -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

Resize a nebula cluster

Create a nebula cluster:

$ kubectl create -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

In config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml the initial storaged replicas is 3.
Modify the file and change replicas from 3 to 5.

  storaged:
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: "1"
        memory: "1Gi"
      limits:
        cpu: "1"
        memory: "1Gi"
    replicas: 5
    image: vesoft/nebula-storaged
    version: v3.1.0
    storageClaim:
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 2Gi
      storageClassName: fast-disks

Apply the replicas change to the cluster CR:

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

The storaged cluster will scale to 5 members (5 pods):

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          2m
nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          2m
nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          2m
nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          2m
nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          2m
nebula-storaged-3   1/1     Running   0          5m
nebula-storaged-4   1/1     Running   0          5m

Similarly we can decrease the size of the cluster from 5 back to 3 by changing the replicas field again and reapplying the change.

  storaged:
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: "1"
        memory: "1Gi"
      limits:
        cpu: "1"
        memory: "1Gi"
    replicas: 3
    image: vesoft/nebula-storaged
    version: v3.1.0
    storageClaim:
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 2Gi
      storageClassName: fast-disks

We should see that storaged cluster will eventually reduce to 3 pods:

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          10m
nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          10m
nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          10m
nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          10m
nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          10m

In addition, you can Install Nebula Cluster with helm.

Upgrade a nebula cluster

Create a nebula cluster with the version specified (v3.0.0):

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml
$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          25m
nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          26m
nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          22m
nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          24m
nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          25m

The container image version should be v3.0.0:

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula  -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |sort |uniq -c
      1 vesoft/nebula-graphd:v3.0.0
      1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v3.0.0
      3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v3.0.0

Now modify the file apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml and change the version from v3.0.0 to v3.1.0:

Apply the version change to the cluster CR:

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

Wait 2 minutes. The container image version should be updated to v3.1.0:

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula  -o jsonpath="{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}" |tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' |sort |uniq -c
      1 vesoft/nebula-graphd:v3.1.0
      1 vesoft/nebula-metad:v3.1.0
      3 vesoft/nebula-storaged:v3.1.0

Failover

If the minority of nebula components crash, the nebula operator will automatically recover the failure. Let's walk through this in the following steps.

Create a nebula cluster:

$ kubectl create -f config/samples/apps_v1alpha1_nebulacluster.yaml

Wait until pods are up. Simulate a member failure by deleting a storaged pod:

$ kubectl delete pod nebula-storaged-2 --now

The nebula operator will recover the failure by creating a new pod nebula-storaged-2:

$ kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/cluster=nebula
NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nebula-graphd-0     1/1     Running   0          15m
nebula-metad-0      1/1     Running   0          15m
nebula-storaged-0   1/1     Running   0          15m
nebula-storaged-1   1/1     Running   0          15m
nebula-storaged-2   1/1     Running   0          19s
