Launch a Graph client VM with AeroLab

AeroLab supports installing Graph client to Aerospike. This is the Aerospike Gremlin server (TinkerPop). The gremlin console is not included but can be easily started on the graph servers or locally in docker.

Version

AeroLab supports graph version 2.0.0 and above. Version 1.* support is not provided.

If using the docker backend, and your aerospike/aerospike-graph-service:latest docker image points at version 1, you will have to either delete the image first, or manually specify the version you want by adding --graph-image=aerospike/aerospike-graph-service:2.0.0 to your create command.

Basic usage

Install Graph with Aerolab

Once Aerospike Cluster is installed and configured, deploy Graph servers as follows, editing the cluster name and namespace to your needs.

aerolab client create graph -n graph --count 1 --cluster-name mydc --namespace test

Other options

The other notable options are:

-e, --extra=                     extra properties to add; can be specified multiple times; ex: -e 'aerospike.client.timeout=2000'
    --ram-mb=                    manually specify amount of RAM MiB to use

If using a non-standard graph docker image, the following parameters can be utilized:

--graph-image=               graph is installed using docker images; docker image to use for graph installation (default: aerospike/aerospike-graph-service)
--docker-user=               login to docker registry for graph installation
--docker-pass=               login to docker registry for graph installation
--docker-url=                login to docker registry for graph installation

Connecting

To connect to Graph:

  1. Get the Private IP of the Graph machine using aerolab client list
  2. If using AWS/GCP, run aerolab attach client -n graph to attach the graph instance shell first. On docker, skip this step.
  3. Run the gremlin console using a docker container: docker run -it --rm tinkerpop/gremlin-console

See this page for Aerospike-Graph usage instructions.

See help for all options

# setup - backend, cluster, graph client, AMS
aerolab config backend -t gcp -o myproject
aerolab cluster create -n fire -v 6.4.0.11 -c 2 --instance e2-standard-2 --zone us-central1-a --firewall=bob
aerolab cluster add exporter -n fire
aerolab client create graph -n fly -m test -C fire --instance e2-standard-2 --zone us-central1-a --firewall=bob
aerolab client create ams -n eyes --clusters=fire --clients=fly --instance e2-standard-2 --zone us-central1-a --firewall=bob

# attach to shell
aerolab attach client -n fly

# attach to gremlin console
aerolab attach client -n fly -- docker run -it --rm tinkerpop/gremlin-console

# visit the webui
aerolab webui

# example create a dedicated gremlin-console client
aerolab client create base -n mygremlin
aerolab client attach -n mygremlin -- curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o /tmp/get-docker.sh
aerolab client attach -n mygremlin -- bash /tmp/get-docker.sh
aerolab client attach -n mygremlin -- docker run -it --rm tinkerpop/gremlin-console

# destroy everything
aerolab cluster destroy -f -n fire; aerolab client destroy -f -n fly; aerolab client destroy -f -n eyes
