4 title: "Crunch utility libraries"
8 h1. Crunch utility libraries
10 Several utility libraries are included with Arvados. They are intended to make it quicker and easier to write your own crunch scripts.
14 The Python SDK adds some convenience features that are particularly useful in crunch scripts, in addition to the standard set of API calls.
18 In a crunch job, the environment variables @ARVADOS_API_HOST@ and @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ will be set up so the job has the privileges of the user who submitted the job.
23 my_user = arvados.api().users().current().execute()
24 my_uuid = my_user['uuid']
27 h4. Get the current job and task parameters
29 @arvados.current_job()@ and @arvados.current_task()@ are convenient ways to retrieve the current Job and Task, using the @JOB_UUID@ and @TASK_UUID@ environment variables provided to each crunch task process.
32 this_job = arvados.current_job()
33 this_task = arvados.current_task()
34 this_job_input = this_job['script_parameters']['input']
35 this_task_input = this_task['parameters']['input']
38 h4(#one_task_per_input). Queue a task for each input file
40 A common pattern for a crunch job is to run one task to scan the input, and one task per input file to do the work.
42 The @one_task_per_input_file()@ function implements this pattern. Pseudocode:
45 if this is the job's first (default) task:
46 for each file in the 'input' collection:
47 queue a new task, with parameters['input'] = file
57 arvados.job_setup.one_task_per_input_file(if_sequence=0, and_end_task=True)
59 # Now do the work on a single file
60 my_input = this_task['parameters']['input']
63 h4. Set the current task's output and success flag
65 Each task in a crunch job must make an API call to record its output and set its @success@ attribute to True. The object returned by @current_task()@ has a @set_output()@ method to make the process more succinct.
68 arvados.current_task().set_output(my_output_locator)
75 Manage child processes and FIFOs (pipes).
79 This module makes it easier to check the exit status of every child process you start, and close the unused end of each FIFO at the appropriate time.
82 from arvados_ipc import *
87 pipe_setup(pipes, 'hellopipe')
88 if 0 == named_fork(children, 'child_a'):
89 pipe_closeallbut(pipes, ('hellopipe', 'w'))
90 os.write(pipes['hellopipe', 'w'], "Hello, parent.")
93 pipe_closeallbut(pipes, ('hellopipe', 'r'))
94 with os.fdopen(pipes['hellopipe', 'r'], 'rb') as f:
96 sys.stderr.write("Child says: " + message + "\n")
98 if not waitpid_and_check_children(children):
99 raise Exception("Child process exited non-zero.")
102 The "crunch scripts" included with Arvados include some more examples of using the arvados_ipc module.
108 The following *arvados-∗.py* modules provide "extract, build, run" helpers to make it easy to incorporate common analysis tools in your crunch scripts.
112 Build and run the "bwa":http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/bwa.shtml program.
