Ta-Ching ChenandSoam Vasani e4fe007838 Add message queue trigger support (#218)
Adds support for message queue triggers based on the NATS-Streaming message queue.

This lets the user map a queue topic to a function, and optionally send the function's response into another queue topic.

The message queue trigger manager is designed to be message queue independent, so we should be able add support for more queues by adding implementations for the relatively simple mqtrigger.MessageQueue interface.

## Running Fission on your Cluster
### Setup Kubernetes
You can install Kubernetes on your laptop with [minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube):
#### Install and start Kubernetes on OSX:
```bash
$ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin
$ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.16.0/minikube-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
$ minikube start
```
#### Or, install and start Kubernetes on Linux:
```bash
$ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin
$ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.16.0/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
$ minikube start
```
Or, you can use [Google Container Engine's](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) free trial to get a 3 node cluster.
### Verify access to the cluster
```
$ kubectl version
```
### Get and Run Fission: Minikube or Local cluster
If you're using minikube or no cloud provider, use these commands to
set up services with NodePort. This exposes fission on ports 31313
and 31314.
```
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-nodeport.yaml
```
Set the FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER environment variables.
FISSION_URL is used by the fission CLI to find the server.
FISSION_URL should be prefixed with a `http://`. (FISSION_ROUTER is
only needed for the examples below to work.)
If you're using minikube, use these commands:
```
$ export FISSION_URL=http://$(minikube ip):31313
$ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(minikube ip):31314
```
### Get and Run Fission: GKE or other Cloud
If you're using GKE or any other cloud provider that supports the
LoadBalancer service type, use these commands:
```
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cloud.yaml
```
Save the external IP addresses of controller and router services in
FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER, respectively. Wait for services to
get IP addresses (check this with ```kubectl --namespace fission get
svc```). Then:
```
$ export FISSION_URL=http://$(kubectl --namespace fission get svc controller -o=jsonpath='{..ip}')
$ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(kubectl --namespace fission get svc router -o=jsonpath='{..ip}')
```
### Get and Run Fission: OpenShift
If you're using OpenShift, it's possible to run Fission on it! The
deployment template needs to be deployed as a user with cluster-admin
permissions (like `system:admin`), as it needs to create a
`ClusterRole` for deploying function containers from the `fission`
namespace/project.
Identically as with Kubernetes, you need to set the FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER environment variables. If you're using minishift, use these commands:
```
$ export FISSION_URL=http://$(minishift ip):31313¬
$ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(minishift ip):31314¬
```
#### Using Minishift or Local Cluster
If you're using minishift or no cloud provider, use these commands to set up services with NodePort. This exposes fission on ports 31313 and 31314.
```
$ oc login -u system:admin
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-openshift.yaml
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-nodeport.yaml
```
#### Using other clouds
If you're using any cloud provider that supports the LoadBalancer service type, use these commands:
```
$ oc login -u system:admin
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-openshift.yaml
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cloud.yaml
```
After these steps, you should be able to run fission client as with kubernetes.
### Install the client CLI
#### Mac OS
Get the CLI binary for Mac:
```
$ curl -Lo fission https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cli-osx && chmod +x fission && sudo mv fission /usr/local/bin/
```
#### Linux
```
$ curl -Lo fission https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cli-linux && chmod +x fission && sudo mv fission /usr/local/bin/
```
#### Windows
For Windows, you can use the linux binary on WSL. Or you can download
this windows executable: [fission.exe](https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cli-windows.exe)
### Run an example
Finally, you're ready to use Fission!
```
$ fission env create --name nodejs --image fission/node-env
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fission/fission/master/examples/nodejs/hello.js > hello.js
$ fission function create --name hello --env nodejs --code hello.js
$ fission route create --method GET --url /hello --function hello
$ curl http://$FISSION_ROUTER/hello
Hello, world!
```
### Enable Persistent Function Logs (Optional)
Fission uses InfluxDB to store logs and fluentd to forward them from
function pods into InfluxDB.
```
$ kubectl create -f fission-logger.yaml
```
That's it for the basic setup. You can now use following command to view function logs:
```
$ fission function logs --name hello
```
You can also list the all the pods that have hosted the function
(including ones that aren't alive any more) and view logs for a
particular pod:
```
$ fission function pods --name hello
$ fission function logs --name hello --pod <pod name>
```
### Use the web based Fission-ui (Optional)
[Fission-ui](https://github.com/fission/fission-ui) is the ui for fission maintained by the community.
It allows users to observe and manage fission. It also provides a simple online development environment for serverless functions.
To setup Fission-ui with fission in k8s is simple:
```bash
# Run this after fission is deployed
$ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fission/fission-ui/master/docker/fission-ui.yaml
```
Then open `http://node-ip:31319` to use Fission-ui.
For more infomation, please check out [Fission-ui Readme](https://github.com/fission/fission-ui/blob/master/README.md).
### Install NATS for message-queue based triggers (Optional)
Fission supports message queue triggers that allow you to invoke
functions based on events in a queue. For now, NATS-Streaming is the
only supported message queue.
You can install NATS Streaming on your Kubernetes cluster with:
```
$ kubectl create -f fission-nats.yaml
```
You can subscribe to a NATS Streaming queue with a command like this:
(See `fission mqtrigger --help` for details)
```
$ fission mqtrigger create --name myQueueTrigger --function processEvent --topic "myQueue.request"
```
