We are developing and testing the RBC software under Linux using Conda packaging system as it conveniently provides all the necessary dependencies for the RBC package as well as for the OmniSciDB software.
In the following, we explain how to setup Conda environments for developing RBC as well as OmniSciDB software, how to get the software, and how to run and test the software.
To create the needed development environments, follow the instructions below.
- Install and setup conda (unless it is already installed):
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p $HOME/miniconda3
source $HOME/miniconda3/bin/activate
conda init bash # or zsh when on macOS Catalina
- Create
rbc-dev
environment:
conda env create -n rbc-dev \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quansight/pearu-sandbox/master/conda-envs/rbc-dev.yaml
- Create
omniscidb-dev
environment:
conda env create -n omniscidb-dev \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quansight/pearu-sandbox/master/conda-envs/omniscidb-dev.yaml
It is recommended to keep the rbc and omniscidb development environments separate to minimize the risk for any software version conflict.
OmniSciDB can be built for CPU-only or CUDA-enabled mode.
For CUDA-enabled OmniSciDB development, create omniscidb-cuda-dev
environment:
conda env create -n omniscidb-cuda-dev \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quansight/pearu-sandbox/master/conda-envs/omniscidb-dev.yaml
In addition, make sure that your system has CUDA Toolkit installed and the CUDA driver functional (run nvidia-smi
to verify). The highest CUDA Toolkit version that OmniSciDB supports is currently 11.0
Here follow the instructions for installing the CUDA Toolkit version 11.0.3:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/src/cuda-installers
cd /usr/local/src/cuda-installers
sudo wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/11.0.3/local_installers/cuda_11.0.3_450.51.06_linux.run
sudo bash cuda_11.0.3_450.51.06_linux.run --toolkit --toolkitpath=/usr/local/cuda-11.0.3/ --installpath=/usr/local/cuda-11.0.3/ --override --no-opengl-libs --no-man-page --no-drm --silent
sudo sh /usr/local/src/cuda-installers/cuda_11.0.3_450.51.06_linux.run

- Checkout
rbc
sources:
mkdir -p ~/git/xnd-project
cd ~/git/xnd-project
# If you are a member of xnd-project organization, use
git clone [email protected]:xnd-project/rbc.git
# else fork https://github.com/xnd-project/rbc and clone your rbc fork,
# or use
git clone https://github.com/xnd-project/rbc.git
- Checkout
omniscidb
sources:
mkdir -p ~/git/omnisci
cd ~/git/omnisci
# If you are a member of omnisci organization, use
git clone [email protected]:omnisci/omniscidb-internal.git
# Otherwise, fork https://github.com/omnisci/omniscidb and clone the fork.
#
# Or use
git clone https://github.com/omnisci/omniscidb.git
- Although the
omniscidb-dev
environment contains all the prerequisites for building and running OmniSciDB server within the conda environment, we slightly adjust the conda environment to make the management of the building process for different build targets easier. For that, use the following script for activating theomniscidb-dev
environment:
cd ~/git/omnisci/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quansight/pearu-sandbox/master/working-envs/activate-omniscidb-internal-dev.sh
The script activate-omniscidb-internal-dev.sh
must be sourced (not run via bash
or another shell) to the existing terminal session. The activate script will show various information about how to develop the OmniSciDB software within a Conda environment.
- The activate script above uses a custom script
/usr/local/cuda/env.sh
for setting CUDA environment variables for conda environment. Use the following commands to install theenv.sh
script:
cd ~/git/omnisci/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quansight/pearu-sandbox/master/set_cuda_env.sh
sudo ln -s ~/git/omnisci/set_cuda_env.sh /usr/local/cuda/env.sh
The basic workflow for developing and testing RBC package contains the following commands:
cd ~/git/xnd-project/rbc
conda activate rbc-dev
python setup.py develop
# Possible commands for running rbc tests
pytest -sv -r A rbc/tests
pytest -sv -r A rbc/tests -x -k <test function>
The omniscidb related rbc tests are run only when the omniscidb server is running. The server must be started with the options --enable-runtime-udf --enable-table-functions
, see OmniSciDB development section below.
By default, it is assumed that the omniscidb server can be accessed behind the localhost port 6274. Only in the case, the server is running elsewhere, one needs to configure the rbc testing environment as follows:
- Create a configuration file with the following content (update credentials as needed):
# File: client.conf
[user]
# OmniSciDB user name
name: admin
# OmniSciDB user password
password: HyperInteractive
[server]
# OmniSciDB server host name or IP
host: localhost
# OmniSciDB server port
port: 6274
- The default location for the configuration file depends on the system but one can set an environment variable
OMNISCI_CLIENT_CONF
that should contain a full path to the configuration file. Default locations of the configuration file are shown below:
# Linux, macOS:
OMNISCI_CLIENT_CONF=$HOME/.config/omnisci/client.conf
# Windows:
OMNISCI_CLIENT_CONF=%UserProfile/.config/omnisci/client.conf
OMNISCI_CLIENT_CONF=%AllUsersProfile/.config/omnisci/client.conf
The basic workflow for developing and testing OmniSciDB software in the context of RBC development is as follows:
cd ~/git/omnisci/omniscidb-internal # or git/omnisci/omniscidb
source ~/git/omnisci/activate-omniscidb-internal-dev.sh
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -Wno-dev $CMAKE_OPTIONS_CUDA ..
make -j $NCORES
that will build CUDA-enabled omniscidb server. See the instruction from the activate script about how to build CPU-only omniscidb server, for instance.
To execute the omniscidb test-suite, make sure that the current working directory is the build directory and run:
mkdir tmp && bin/initdb tmp
make sanity_tests
To start omniscidb server with runtime UDF/UDTFs support enabled, run:
mkdir data && bin/initdb data
bin/omnisci_server --enable-runtime-udf --enable-table-functions
