1 The GAT Adapter to use GT4 RFT Mehmet Balman, Santiago Pena, Theresa Xu CCT, Johnston Hall Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA December 14, 2005 Introduction We designed a GAT [1] external adaptor for the Globus Toolkit 4 (GT4) [2] Reliable File (RFT) [3] service. This latest version of Globus differs from its predecessor in that is a web services based environment. RFT is a service that allows bytes streams to be transferred in a reliable manner handling failures in a more efficient and transparent way [4]. In this context, the RFT adaptor will isolate the GAT user from the changes introduced by GT4. General Description The GAT (Grid Application Toolkit) is a toolkit providing higher-level interfaces and services for Grid programmers [5]. The main objective is to provide a single API simplifying the underlying complex grid resources and middleware. The Reliable File service is intended to transfer files between two GridFTP servers [3,4,6]. It is built on GridFTP client libraries, and the main contribution is the failure recovery mechanism. The RFT service communicates with external clients via SOAP/XML, and provides a standard interface [3,4]. The RFT adapter being developed will enable users to easily manage data operations in their applications through the use of the GAT functions. Thus, users will be able to utilize key RFT services without the need to know any details about the RFT API. Functional Requirements RFT depends on the following Globus Toolkit components [4,6,7]: Java WS Core WS Authentication and Authorization Delegation Service Service Groups MDS useful RP And, the following 3rd party software: PostgreSQL 7.1 or later.

2 The API of the GAT is categorized in several subsystems and each one handles different features of the program [8,9]. Those subsystems are implemented via adaptors using the CPIs (Capability Provider Interface). Functions in a CPI set can be provided by different adaptors [8]. Table 1 shows the relationship between CPIs and adaptor types. The RFT adaptor is a file adaptor which has basic operations such as copy, move, delete, etc. The adaptor will be formed by the implementations of an existing set of GAT CPIs for GT4. In this way, the transition to web service architecture will be transparent to the users, since the function calls in their applications will remain unchanged. Among the features supported by the RFT adaptor we can mention [8]: Copy files reliable using RFT services Decide about parameters for file transfer. Optimization of data movement. Failure recovery. Table 1: Adaptor types * From Interface Requirements File Adaptor has the following CPI functions [9]: Copy(Location dest, CopyMode mode) Copy the file to the specified destination Move(Location dest, MoveMode mode) Move the file to the specified destination Delete() Delete the file GetLength() only for local files

3 Return the current size of the file - only for local files IsReadable() - only for local files Return, whether the file is readable - only for local files IsWritable() - only for local files Return, whether the file is readable only - for local files LastWriteTime() - only for local files Return the time of the last write access - only for local files Every CPI function has a corresponding function call in the adaptor implementation. GAT engine selects an adaptor according to the matching preferences; users can define requirements to use appropriate CPI implementation provided by a specific adaptor [8]. The GridFTP adaptor, which has already been developed in the GAT using Globus libraries, provides same CPI functions that RFT adaptor is intended to implement [1,9,10]. In order to implement an RFT program, following steps should be applied [7]; Contact Delegation Factory Service to get credential Construct a Request type object Contact RFT factory and create an RFT resource Call RFT service to start the transfer System Requirements In order to utilize the RFT adaptor, the GAT engine and other primary file adaptors should be installed and configured. RFT service needs to be installed with other basic Globus services such as authentication, authorization, etc. The GAT adaptor using GT4 RFT depends on the following services and toolkits. Globus Toolkit RFT service GAT Engine The adaptor will use the underlying RFT services for file transfer operation; thus, RFT should be running properly and the database that it uses should be configured to enable service calls which are storing Restart Remarks. This adaptor will be used for data transfer, especially input/output files, in a GAT application. Programmer will simply make use of CPI functions and the RFT adaptor will handle the redundant file transfer operation. Therefore, subsequent processes in the GAT program can safely manage jobs and other facilities. Architectural Design The GAT library adjusts parameters and optimizes middleware dependent components according to the current running environment via GAT adapters [1]. It has been developed by

4 GridLab [11] project, and different programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python are supported. The application is linked against the GAT engine in order to behave as a proxy for all interface calls [9]. A related GAT adapter is selected to bind the engine with the actual middleware service [8,9]. The lightweight adapters are the main part of the design supporting modularity. Figure 1: The GAT adaptor integration A database is utilized in GT4 RFT to store Restart Markers which are generated by the server in every 5 seconds to keep track of the transfer [3,4,6]. Moreover, Performance Markers are archived using the Netlogger in order to analyze transfer and make proper decision [3]. Thus, recovery of failures can be accomplished and transfer operation can restart from the point where it failed before [3,12]. Therefore, the RFT service is an enhanced utility for file operation in Globus 4.

Restart Markers Database Figure 2: The General Architecture of Reliable File Service * From Implementation Details The implementation of the RFT adaptor began with a simple implementation of the python_file adaptor. The python_file adaptor is the one that provides basic file manipulation routines, such as copy, move, delete, etc. Also to test the python file, we wrote a small set of python applications that would make use of the python_adaptor to emulate the linux commands cp, mv and rm, among others. Once the python_adaptor was working, we started with the development of the python_rft_cl. The name is due to the fact that this adaptor is implemented making use of the command line tool provided by RFT. A first version of the adaptor was developed to show the basic functionality. For this version no classes were implemented and we just wrote the code corresponding to the Copy CPI to verify that the adaptor was working properly. After the success of the first version of our adaptor we decided to add more functionality and implement the remaining CPI s. To do so, we created two extra files containing two classes (rft_op and rft_url) that are used within the adaptor to format the user s input, set preferences and run the rft command among others. A scheme of the implementation is provided in the Figure 3.

6 Figure 3: Implementation details These two classes allowed us to include more functionality and intelligence to our adaptor, while keeping implementation details outside the adaptor s code. In this way, we achieve a cleaner, more understandable code that helps not only with debugging but also to facilitate future upgrades. In the way that RFT works, the user is expected to provide a configuration file, in which the source, the destination and other parameters are specified. In our case and to add compatibility with other file CPIs, we just take as input source and destination, and we provide the user the possibility of modifying a file.rft that should be located in his home directory. If not such file exists the adaptor will used default values for the transfer. Although not optimal, this solution allowed us to add flexibility for the user interface within the time constraints of the project. In addition the adaptor will recognize the given URL for source and destination, and will transform it to the proper format for RFT. Future Work Our implementation of this adaptor using the RFT command line should be extended to include the RFT web service interface directly. The biggest challenge with this approach is the fact that there is not a python API (only Java API) for RFT.

7 Another important issue is the fact that GAT is synchronous but RFT is used for asynchronous operations. Therefore, we can not make use of all the features provided by RFT within GAT. We are planning on implementing the RFT adaptor for SAGA, which supports asynchronous operations. Currently the user may set preferences for the transfer using the.rft file. In the future, we would like to enable the adaptor to receive preferences from the command line. References [1] Grid Application Toolkit. [Online]. Available: [2] The Globus Alliance. [Online].
