[StarCluster] plugin shell help

[Dan Tenenbaum]

Hi,
I am not much of a python programmer and I'm trying to figure out the plugin
system.

I created a ~/.starcluster/plugins directory and put a file in it called
shortread.py.
Here are its contents:

from starcluster.clustersetup import ClusterSetup
from starcluster.logger import log

class ShortReadPlugin(ClusterSetup):
     def __init__(self, arg1):
          self.arg1 = arg1
          log.info('arg1 = %s' % arg1)
     def run(self, nodes, master, user, user_shell, volumes):
         log.info("about to echo")
         master.ssh.execute("echo 'hey'")

As you can see, it's just a test.

In my config, I put this at the bottom:
[plugin shortreadplugin]
SETUP_CLASS = ShortReadPlugin
arg1=foo

And above in the [global] section I put:
plugins=shortreadplugin

I'm a bit confused about whether this is right because in your example:
http://web.mit.edu/stardev/cluster/docs/plugins.html

...you have the SETUP_CLASS as ubuntu.PackageInstaller. I'm not sure where
the "ubuntu" fits into this. Is it like java where I need to have a folder
called ubuntu where the class resides?

Anyway, I fired up my cluster and went to test this with "starcluster shell"
and got the following output:

In [5]: cluster.run_plugin('shortreadplugin', 'myfirstcluster', cfg)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

    170 def run_plugin(plugin_name, cluster_tag, cfg):
    171     ec2 = cfg.get_easy_ec2()
--> 172     cl = get_cluster(cluster_tag)
    173     cl.load_receipt()
    174     plug = cfg.get_plugin(plugin_name)

TypeError: get_cluster() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)


It's hard for me to understand what's happening here. I of course am not
calling get_cluster directly. Is there a bug in run_plugin() or is there
something wrong in my setup, or both?

Thanks
Dan
