Describe the bug

I'm using the official docker image and helm chart to deploy and manage Kyuubi on Kubernetes.
I found that bin/kyuubi status returns Kyuubi is not running when the instance is actually up and running.

The PID value in the file should be 15, however it is 1301 for the main instance in this case:

kyuubi@kyuubi-5b6784d6b4-gf2d4:/opt/kyuubi$ bin/kyuubi status
Warn: Not find kyuubi environment file /opt/kyuubi/conf/kyuubi-env.sh, using default ones...
Kyuubi is not running

For the secondary instance there is no PID file at all:

Warn: Not find kyuubi environment file /opt/kyuubi/conf/kyuubi-env.sh, using default ones...

bin/kyuubi status is needed for liveness and readiness probes, so I would highly appreciate alternative solution as well.

Hello @dnskr,
Thanks for finding the time to report the issue!
We really appreciate the community's efforts to improve Apache Kyuubi.

@dnskr I noticed the same issue today, one idea is to use supervisord to manage kyuubi process, so that we can use supervisorctl status <name> to check health.

[pan3793]

@dnskr WDYT about the supervisord idea?

[dnskr]

@pan3793 Unfortunately I'm not familiar with supervisord, so cannot say any relevant opinion.

I found that kyuubi status works as expected if kyuubi start is used instead of default kyuubi run.
I.e. if the following command in the helm chart is used

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: {{ .Release.Name }}
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: kyuubi-server
          image: "{{ .Values.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.image.tag | default .Chart.AppVersion }}"
          imagePullPolicy: {{ .Values.image.pullPolicy }}
          command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "bin/kyuubi start && tail -f ${KYUUBI_LOG_DIR}/kyuubi-*.out"]

execution kyuubi status returns correct result for both pods

kyuubi@kyuubi-78df679b9c-fn7pg:/opt/kyuubi$ bin/kyuubi status
Warn: Not find kyuubi environment file /opt/kyuubi/conf/kyuubi-env.sh, using default ones...
Kyuubi is running (pid: 16)

kyuubi@kyuubi-78df679b9c-vgbr8:/opt/kyuubi$ bin/kyuubi status
Warn: Not find kyuubi environment file /opt/kyuubi/conf/kyuubi-env.sh, using default ones...

... I'm not familiar with supervisord ...

basically, supervisord is similar w/ systemd, here is an example

https://github.com/trinodb/docker-images/tree/master/testing/cdh5.15-hive

command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "bin/kyuubi start && tail -f ${KYUUBI_LOG_DIR}/kyuubi-*.out"]

it's kinda workaround.

[dnskr]

Do you think it's a good idea to create a PR for the helm chart with the workaround above?
Not sure I can fix the issue properly.

[pan3793]

let me try supervisord approach(maybe in one or two days), and do evaluation then
