To set up PostgreSQL + MADlib with Anaconda Python on OSX: 

  • PYTHON=/Users/janedoe/anaconda/bin/python 
  •  Install Postgres with the Python extension specified (i.e., --with-python), as described here in the PostgreSQL documentation. Note that previously you could install postgres with python support using brew by running 'brew install postgresql --with-python' but passing the '--with-python' flag is not supported anymore.
  •  Set up database and roles

  •  Install the .dmg of latest madlib downloaded from MADlib website https://madlib.apache.org/download.html

  •  /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib -p postgres install

Installing MADlib

  1. Download the MADlib binary
    • For Postgres: OS X and Linux binaries can be found on the MADlib download page
    • For Greenplum: Linux .gppkg binaries can be found on Pivotal Network in the "Greenplum Advanced Analytics Group"
      • NOTE: the above .gppkg binaries work for both open and closed source Greenplum and can be downloaded by anybody (after creating a Pivotal Network account)
  2. Install the package.
    1. Postgres:
      • on OSX double click the installer package
      • on Redhat / CentOS run the following as root:

        Code Block
        yum install <madlib_package> --nogpgcheck

        or

        Code Block
        languagebash
        rpm -i <madlib_package>


    2. Greenplum:

      • on Redhat / CentOS run the following as gpadmin:

        Code Block
        languagebash
        gppkg -i <madlib_package>


    3. NOTE: if you are using an rpm package on a CentOS 5 system, please add --no-deps flag to the command.
  3. Ensure that the environment is setup for your database deployment and that the database is up and running.
    • Ensure that psql, postgres, and pg_config are in your path

      Code Block
      languagebash
      which psql postgres pg_config


    • Ensure that the database is started and running

      Code Block
      languagebash
      psql -c 'select version()'

      The above may need user/port/password setting depending on how the database has been configured.

  4. Run the MADlib deployment utility to deploy MADlib into each database that you want to use it:
    • Postgres:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib –p postgres install

      if environment variables are defined. Otherwise use a fully defined connection string:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib -p postgres -c [user[/password]@][host][:port][/database] install


    • Greenplum Database:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack –p greenplum install

      The above may need user/port/password setting depending on how the database has been configured.

      Run the MADlib madpack deployment utility to install MADlib into each database that you want to use it in:

  5. After installation gpadmin should grant all privileges on schema madlib to users who will be accessing MADlib functions. Otherwise, users will get "ERROR: permission denied for schema MADlib."  Also, install checks (see next step below) will fail if CREATE TEMP TABLE privileges are not granted on the schema where MADlib is installed. See the PostgreSQL docs for information on schemas and privileges.

  6. Test your installation

    • Postgres:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack -s madlib –p postgres install-check


    • Greenplum Database:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      /usr/local/madlib/bin/madpack –p greenplum install-check

      The above may need user/port/password setting depending on how the database has been configured. 

      Please note that if the optimizer_control GUC is set to off in Greenplum, the following install checks will fail, and these MADlib functions will not work:  decision tree, random forest, LDA , k-Means, PMML export for decision tree, PMML export for random forest.  This will be fixed in a future release (MADLIB-1109).  The parameter optimizer_control controls whether the server configuration parameter optimizer can be changed. The parameter optimizer controls whether the GPORCA optimizer is enabled when running SQL queries.

Compiling From Source

Prerequisites

Requirements for installing MADlib:

  • gcc and g++
    • For OS X, Clang will work for compiling the source, but not for the documentation. To compile on newer versions of XCode we need to enable the CXX11 flag. Setting -DCXX11=1 during cmake, will auto-download Boost 1.75.0 if Boost > 1.65.0 is not found on the system.
      Note: Setting -DCXX11=1 will enable C++11, which is not fully supported, i.e, MADlib compiles but some install-check/dev-check tests may fail.
  • python 2.6 or 2.7
    • python 3.x is not currently supported by MADlib.
  • cmake
    • NOTE: the latest version of cmake might cause issues. Please try cmake 3.5.2 in case you get an error or a segmentation fault.
    • NOTE: On Centos 6 (possibly other Linux variants), we have seen occasions where cmake will have issues running (seg fault) if the greenplum_path.sh file has been sourced prior to the cmake execution. If you encounter issues, you can use ldd on the cmake executable to confirm dynamic libraries are picked up from the Greenplum installation directories. If this is the case, start a new shell in which the greenplum_path.sh file is not sourced in your current running shell session. You can reference MADLIB-1093 for additional details.
  • An installed version of Greenplum Database or PostgreSQL (64-bit) 9.2+ with plpython support enabled.  
    • NOTE: plpython may not be enabled in Postgres by default.

Installing MADlib

In the $MADLIB_ROOT directory (location of the MADlib source) run the following commands:

...

Above, we built the executables in the build folder. This can, however, be any user-named folder (henceforth called $BUILD_ROOT).

Deploying MADlib

Deploy MADlib into the database with MADlib package manager madpack located under $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin.

...

  • Postgres:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin/madpack -s madlib –p postgres install

    if environment variables are defined. Otherwise use a fully defined connection string:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin/madpack -s madlib -p postgres -c [user[/password]@][host][:port][/database] install


  • Greenplum Database:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin/madpack –p greenplum install

    The above may need user/port/password setting depending on how the database has been configured.

  • To install:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin/madpack -p postgres -c [user[/password]@][host][:port][/database] install


  • To make sure that the installation is successful:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    $BUILD_ROOT/src/bin/madpack -p postgres -c [user[/password]@][host][:port][/database] install-check


  • For more information on the usage of madpack:

  • Greenplum Database:
    • Upgrading gppkg to a higher version of MADlib:
      For example, upgrading from 1.15.1 to 1.16

      on Redhat / CentOS run the following as gpadmin:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      gppkg -u <madlib_package_upgrading_to>

      Upgrade the MADlib deployment in the database

      Code Block
      languagebash
      madpack -p <platform> -c <connection> upgrade


    • Upgrading gppkg for the same version of MADlib:
      For example, upgrading from madlib_gppkg_1.16+1 to madlib_gppkg_1.16+2

      on Redhat / CentOS run the following as gpadmin:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      gppkg -u <madlib_package_upgrading_to>

      MADlib deployment in the database does not need to be upgraded as the MADlib version has not changed.

Sometimes there are release specific variations of the installation procedures.  These exceptions are listed in this section.

06/27/19 - Upgrading MADlib from 1.15

Currently, upgrading the rpm from 1.15 using rpm -U does not work due to a change in the rpm post uninstall script in MADlib version 1.15.1.  Below are the steps to follow to upgrade from MADlib version 1.15:

  1. Remove existing MADlib rpm (this does not affect the database in any way)
    rpm -e <madlib 1.15 package name>
  2. Remove old MADlib files
    rm -rf /usr/local/madlib/Versions
  3. Install the MADlib 1.15.1 or 1.16 rpm
    rpm -i <madlib 1.16 package name>
  4. Upgrade the MADlib deployment in the database
    madpack -p <platform> -c <connection> upgrade

01/11/18 - Upgrading MADlib to 1.13

The upgrade to v1.13 has a minor problem with some leftover functions. The issue can be fixed with the following commands before running the regular madpack upgrade command.

...

We have also attached a script to this wiki page  called 'fix_upgrade.sh' that you can use.

11/30/16 - Installation of MADlib 1.9.1 on GPDB 4.3.11

The procedure exactly the same as described below for installation of MADlib on GPDB 4.3.10 .

10/19/16 - Installation of MADlib 1.9.1 on GPDB 4.3.10

This is an important note for installation of MADlib on GPDB 4.3.10.  It does not apply to any other releases.
