Welcome to Two Sigma's Cook Scheduler!

What is Cook?

• Cook is a powerful batch scheduler, specifically designed to provide a great user experience when there are more jobs to run than your cluster has capacity for.
• Cook is able to intelligently preempt jobs to ensure that no user ever needs to wait long to get quick answers, while simultaneously helping you to achieve 90%+ utilization for massive workloads.
• Cook has been battle-hardened to automatically recover after dozens of classes of cluster failures.
• Cook can act as a Spark scheduler, and it comes with a REST API and Java client.

Core concepts is a good place to start to learn more.

Check the changelog for release info.

In this repository, you'll find several subprojects, each of which has its own documentation.

• scheduler - This is the actual Mesos framework, Cook. It comes with a JSON REST API.
• jobclient - This is the Java API for Cook, which uses the REST API under the hood.
• spark - This contains the patch to Spark to enable Cook as a backend.

Please visit the scheduler subproject first to get started.

The quickest way to get Mesos and Cook running locally is with docker and minimesos.

1. Install docker
2. Install minimesos
3. Clone down this repo
4. cd scheduler
5. Run bin/build-docker-image.sh to build the Cook scheduler image
6. Run minimesos up to start Mesos and ZooKeeper
7. Run bin/run-docker.sh to start the Cook scheduler
8. Cook should now be listening locally on port 12321
