Building Cruise Control

The instructions provided below specify the steps to build Cruise Control 2.5.139 on Linux on IBM Z for following distributions:

RHEL (8.8, 8.10, 9.2, 9.4)
SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP5, 15 SP6)
Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, 24.04)

General Notes:

When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.
A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.

Build and Install Cruise Control

1. Build using script

If you want to build Cruise Control using manual steps, go to STEP 2.

Use the following commands to build Cruise Control using the build script. Please make sure you have wget installed.

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-on-ibm-z/scripts/master/CruiseControl/2.5.139/build_cruise_control.sh

# Build Cruise Control
bash build_cruise_control.sh [Provide -j (Temurin11|Semeru11|OpenJDK11) option for building with specific java, Provide -t option for executing build with tests ]

If the build completes successfully, go to STEP 6 for test execution. In case of error, check logs for more details or go to STEP 2 to follow manual build steps.

2. Install Dependencies

export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/

RHEL (8.8, 8.10)

sudo yum install -y wget tar git curl gzip procps-ng

RHEL (9.2, 9.4)

sudo yum install -y --allowerasing wget tar git curl gzip procps-ng

SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP5, 15 SP6)

sudo zypper install -y wget tar git-core curl gzip gawk

Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, 24.04)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y wget tar git curl gzip

Note: If you are building Apache Kafka from source, it is recommended to choose the same JDK variant for building Cruise Control.

3. Install Java

With IBM Semeru Runtime
- Download and install IBM Semeru Runtime (Java 11) from here.
With Eclipse Adoptium Temurin Runtime
- Download and install Eclipse Adoptium Temurin Runtime (Java 11) from here.

With OpenJDK 11

RHEL (8.8, 8.10, 9.2, 9.4)

sudo yum install -y java-11-openjdk java-11-openjdk-devel

SLES (12 SP5, 15 SP5, 15 SP6)

sudo zypper install -y java-11-openjdk java-11-openjdk-devel

Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, 24.04)
```
sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk
```

Note: At the time of creation of these build instructions, Cruise Control was verified with Semeru and Temurin runtime version 11.0.23.0 (build 11.0.23+9).

4. Set environment variables

export JAVA_HOME=<path to java>
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

5. Download and build Cruise Control

cd $SOURCE_ROOT
git clone https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control.git
cd cruise-control
git checkout 2.5.139
./gradlew jar

6. Testing (Optional)

cd $SOURCE_ROOT/cruise-control
./gradlew test --continue

Notes:

When using the distribution's openjdk-11 packages on RHEL 9.x and SLES 15.x, the following tests will fail if the DEFAULT system wide crypto-policy mode is in effect:

com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.metricsreporter.CruiseControlMetricsReporterSslTest > testUpdatingMetricsTopicConfig
com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.metricsreporter.CruiseControlMetricsReporterSslTest > testReportingMetrics
com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.metricsreporter.CruiseControlMetricsReporterSslTest > testGetKafkaBootstrapServersConfigure

The tests will pass if the LEGACY crypto-policy mode is in effect or if the crypto-policy package is not installed. The same tests also fail on x86_64 RHEL 9.x and SLES 15.x.

7. Verification

Follow official quickstart guide given here to verify the installation. The Cruise Control server requires connection to one or more Apache Kafka servers, Apache Kafka can be downloaded from here
