This page describes all the commands that are possible with the “storm” command line client. To learn how to set up your “storm” client to talk to a remote cluster, follow the instructions in Setting up development environment. See Classpath handling for details on using external libraries in these commands.
These commands are:
Syntax: storm jar topology-jar-path class ...
Runs the main method of class with the specified arguments. The storm jars and configs in ~/.storm are put on the classpath. The process is configured so that StormSubmitter will upload the jar at topology-jar-path when the topology is submitted.
When you want to ship other jars which is not included to application jar, you can pass them to --jars option with comma-separated string.
For example, –jars “your-local-jar.jar,your-local-jar2.jar” will load your-local-jar.jar and your-local-jar2.jar.
And when you want to ship maven artifacts and its transitive dependencies, you can pass them to --artifacts with comma-separated string. You can also exclude some dependencies like what you’re doing in maven pom. Please add exclusion artifacts with ‘^’ separated string after the artifact. For example, --artifacts "redis.clients:jedis:2.9.0,org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.10:0.8.2.2^org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12" will load jedis and kafka artifact and all of transitive dependencies but exclude slf4j-log4j12 from kafka.
When you need to pull the artifacts from other than Maven Central, you can pass remote repositories to –artifactRepositories option with comma-separated string. Repository format is “
Complete example of both options is here: ./bin/storm jar example/storm-starter/storm-starter-topologies-*.jar org.apache.storm.starter.RollingTopWords blobstore-remote2 remote --jars "./external/storm-redis/storm-redis-1.1.0.jar,./external/storm-kafka/storm-kafka-1.1.0.jar" --artifacts "redis.clients:jedis:2.9.0,org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.10:0.8.2.2^org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12" --artifactRepositories "jboss-repository^http://repository.jboss.com/maven2,HDPRepo^http://repo.hortonworks.com/content/groups/public/"
When you pass jars and/or artifacts options, StormSubmitter will upload them when the topology is submitted, and they will be included to classpath of both the process which runs the class, and also workers for that topology.
Syntax: storm sql sql-file topology-name
Compiles the SQL statements into a Trident topology and submits it to Storm.
--jars and --artifacts, and --artifactRepositories options available for jar are also applied to sql command. Please refer “help jar” to see how to use –jars and –artifacts, and –artifactRepositories options. You normally want to pass these options since you need to set data source to your sql which is an external storage in many cases.
Syntax: storm kill topology-name [-w wait-time-secs]
Kills the topology with the name topology-name. Storm will first deactivate the topology’s spouts for the duration of the topology’s message timeout to allow all messages currently being processed to finish processing. Storm will then shutdown the workers and clean up their state. You can override the length of time Storm waits between deactivation and shutdown with the -w flag.
Syntax: storm activate topology-name
Activates the specified topology’s spouts.
Syntax: storm deactivate topology-name
Deactivates the specified topology’s spouts.
Syntax: storm rebalance topology-name [-w wait-time-secs] [-n new-num-workers] [-e component=parallelism]*
Sometimes you may wish to spread out where the workers for a topology are running. For example, let’s say you have a 10 node cluster running 4 workers per node, and then let’s say you add another 10 nodes to the cluster. You may wish to have Storm spread out the workers for the running topology so that each node runs 2 workers. One way to do this is to kill the topology and resubmit it, but Storm provides a “rebalance” command that provides an easier way to do this.
Rebalance will first deactivate the topology for the duration of the message timeout (overridable with the -w flag) and then redistribute the workers evenly around the cluster. The topology will then return to its previous state of activation (so a deactivated topology will still be deactivated and an activated topology will go back to being activated).
The rebalance command can also be used to change the parallelism of a running topology. Use the -n and -e switches to change the number of workers or number of executors of a component respectively.
Syntax: storm repl
Opens up a Clojure REPL with the storm jars and configuration on the classpath. Useful for debugging.
Syntax: storm classpath
Prints the classpath used by the storm client when running commands.
Syntax: storm localconfvalue conf-name
Prints out the value for conf-name in the local Storm configs. The local Storm configs are the ones in ~/.storm/storm.yaml merged in with the configs in defaults.yaml.
Syntax: storm remoteconfvalue conf-name
Prints out the value for conf-name in the cluster’s Storm configs. The cluster’s Storm configs are the ones in $STORM-PATH/conf/storm.yaml merged in with the configs in defaults.yaml. This command must be run on a cluster machine.
Syntax: storm nimbus
Launches the nimbus daemon. This command should be run under supervision with a tool like daemontools or monit. See Setting up a Storm cluster for more information.
Syntax: storm supervisor
Launches the supervisor daemon. This command should be run under supervision with a tool like daemontools or monit. See Setting up a Storm cluster for more information.
Syntax: storm ui
Launches the UI daemon. The UI provides a web interface for a Storm cluster and shows detailed stats about running topologies. This command should be run under supervision with a tool like daemontools or monit. See Setting up a Storm cluster for more information.
Syntax: storm drpc
Launches a DRPC daemon. This command should be run under supervision with a tool like daemontools or monit. See Distributed RPC for more information.
Syntax: storm blobstore cmd
list [KEY…] - lists blobs currently in the blob store
cat [-f FILE] KEY - read a blob and then either write it to a file, or STDOUT (requires read access).
create [-f FILE] [-a ACL …] [–replication-factor NUMBER] KEY - create a new blob. Contents comes from a FILE or STDIN. ACL is in the form [uo]:[username]:[r-][w-][a-] can be comma separated list.
update [-f FILE] KEY - update the contents of a blob. Contents comes from a FILE or STDIN (requires write access).
delete KEY - delete an entry from the blob store (requires write access).
set-acl [-s ACL] KEY - ACL is in the form [uo]:[username]:[r-][w-][a-] can be comma separated list (requires admin access).
replication –read KEY - Used to read the replication factor of the blob.
replication –update –replication-factor NUMBER KEY where NUMBER > 0. It is used to update the replication factor of a blob.
For example, the following would create a mytopo:data.tgz key using the data stored in data.tgz. User alice would have full access, bob would have read/write access and everyone else would have read access.
storm blobstore create mytopo:data.tgz -f data.tgz -a u:alice:rwa,u:bob:rw,o::r
See Blobstore(Distcahce) for more information.
Syntax: storm dev-zookeeper
Launches a fresh Zookeeper server using “dev.zookeeper.path” as its local dir and “storm.zookeeper.port” as its port. This is only intended for development/testing, the Zookeeper instance launched is not configured to be used in production.
Syntax: storm get-errors topology-name
Get the latest error from the running topology. The returned result contains the key value pairs for component-name and component-error for the components in error. The result is returned in json format.
Syntax: storm heartbeats [cmd]
list PATH - lists heartbeats nodes under PATH currently in the ClusterState. get PATH - Get the heartbeat data at PATH
Syntax: storm kill_workers
Kill the workers running on this supervisor. This command should be run on a supervisor node. If the cluster is running in secure mode, then user needs to have admin rights on the node to be able to successfully kill all workers.
Syntax: storm list
List the running topologies and their statuses.
Syntax: storm logviewer
