16 Several utility libraries are included with Arvados. They are intended to make it quicker and easier to write your own crunch scripts.
18 * "Python SDK extras":#pythonsdk
19 * "Toolkit wrappers":#toolkit_wrappers
21 h2(#pythonsdk). Python SDK extras
23 The Python SDK adds some convenience features that are particularly useful in crunch scripts, in addition to the standard set of API calls.
25 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.
30 my_user = arvados.api().users().current().execute()
31 my_uuid = my_user['uuid']
34 h3. Get the current job and task parameters
36 @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.
39 this_job = arvados.current_job()
40 this_task = arvados.current_task()
41 this_job_input = this_job['script_parameters']['input']
42 this_task_input = this_task['parameters']['input']
45 h3(#one_task_per_input). Queue a task for each input file
47 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.
49 The @one_task_per_input_file()@ function implements this pattern. Pseudocode:
52 if this is the job's first (default) task:
53 for each file in the 'input' collection:
54 queue a new task, with parameters['input'] = file
64 arvados.job_setup.one_task_per_input_file(if_sequence=0, and_end_task=True)
66 # Now do the work on a single file
67 my_input = this_task['parameters']['input']
70 h3. Set the current task's output and success flag
72 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.
75 arvados.current_task().set_output(my_output_locator)
80 Manage child processes and FIFOs (pipes).
83 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.
86 from arvados_ipc import *
91 pipe_setup(pipes, 'hellopipe')
92 if 0 == named_fork(children, 'child_a'):
93 pipe_closeallbut(pipes, ('hellopipe', 'w'))
94 os.write(pipes['hellopipe', 'w'], "Hello, parent.")
97 pipe_closeallbut(pipes, ('hellopipe', 'r'))
98 with os.fdopen(pipes['hellopipe', 'r'], 'rb') as f:
100 sys.stderr.write("Child says: " + message + "\n")
102 if not waitpid_and_check_children(children):
103 raise Exception("Child process exited non-zero.")
106 The "crunch scripts" included with Arvados include some more examples of using the arvados_ipc module.
108 h2(#toolkit_wrappers). Toolkit wrappers
110 The following *arvados-∗.py* modules provide "extract, build, run" helpers to make it easy to incorporate common analysis tools in your crunch scripts.
114 Build and run the "bwa":http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/bwa.shtml program.
