"--usemem" parameter don't seem to work

[erick-dorlass]

Hello,

I'm using eggnog-mapper for a metagenomic pipeline with hmm searches.

For optimization, i'm using "--usemem" parameter, however the process seems to be stuck in "Waiting for server to become ready". I've seen this same problem been related in other issues as #287 and #33 but without a clear solution. Have this parameter ever worked?

I'm using eggnog-mapper v2.1.7
the command:
emapper.py -m hmmer -d virus --data_dir eggnog_data --usemem -i scaffolds.faa -o test

Hi @erick-dorlass ,

You may try hmm_server.py -d virus to check if the hmmer server works, and, if it doesn't, hopefully get some error message that could give us a clue.

Best,
Carlos

Best,

Hi @Cantalapiedra Cantalapiedra
I appreciate your quick response.

I tried the hmm_server.py -d virus, and the process also stuck in "Waiting for server to become ready at localhost:51700 ..."
When I kill the process, this is the message provided:

It seems that are more tries to create a server with the pip install version, however the result is the same.

[Cantalapiedra]

Hi,

It might be the hmmer version. Which one are you using?

[erick-dorlass]

Hi,

I'm using HMMER 3.3.2, but i also tried with versions 3.1b2, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.3 and 3.3.1. The same error was reported in all versions.

[Cantalapiedra]

Hi,

ok. Then it must be another thing. How do you swap between HMMER versions? I guess you are sure that you are trying different versions and not a single version is interfering from the PATH or conda.
Could you try putting the command which is under the eggnog-mapper directory, at eggnogmapper/bin in the PATH just to be sure that it is not due to hmmer version?

What is the complete command which you used to create the "viral" database?
I could try to replicate with the same database.

Also, what is your OS distribution and version?

Best,
Carlos

[Cantalapiedra]

Also, you may try to load the DB directly using the hmmer command "hmmgpmd", and see if it is causing the problem, or instead it is an eggnog-mapper problem itself.

[erick-dorlass]

Hi,

I was able to create a server (master and worker) with hmmpgmd:
hmmpgmd --master --cport 51700 --hmmdb virus.hmm
hmmpgmd --worker localhost --wport 51701 --cpu 2

However when I try using:
emapper.py -m hmmer -d virus --data_dir eggnog_db --servers_list servers.txt -i scaffolds.faa -o test
or
emapper.py -m hmmer -d virus.hmm:localserver:51700 --data_dir eggnog_db -i scaffolds.faa -o test

I receive the message:
hmmer.py:search DB: virus.hmm:localserver:51700
idmap file virus.hmm.idmap not found

Is there a way to create de idmap file in the server or copy it from my local machine? And this will also have to be performed to all hmmpress files?

The viral hmm database is being downloaded from http://eggnog5.embl.de/download/eggnog_5.0/per_tax_level/10239/, all HMM files are concatenated with cat to a virus.hmm file and then I use hmmpress to create h3 files. I'm creating the idmap file by parsing the virus.hmm file as in hmmer_idmap.py script. Actually the "viral" database is being used as a test for a larger hmm database created with eggnog for metagenome analysis

Until now, the hmmer_server.py script don't seem to work, so the option I'm considering is creating the servers with hmmpgmd, create a server list file and pass it as an input to emapper.py.

I tested the HMMER versions with conda. I created a new env with eggnog-mapper, uninstall the HMMER downloaded together with eggnog-mapper and install different hmmer versions for testing

I'm using a MacOS Monterey v12.3.1

[erick-dorlass]

Hi @Cantalapiedra

I performed a few more tests, and indeed was the hmmer version. Once I installed eggnog-mapper version2.1.7 with pip in a conda env with hmmer v3.1b2 the --usemem, hmmpgmd and hmm_server.py started to work fine.

However I'm facing another problem. Once I use:

emapper.py -m hmmer -d viral --usemem --data_dir eggnog_db/ -i test.fa -o output

The servers are uploaded, however I receive the following message:

Error: Failed to open target sequence database /home/ec2-user/erick/eggnog_db/hmmer/viral/2756.fa for reading

Is there a way to generate te hits file with the correct HMM ID? Should I make an alteration in the downloaded bank?
Thank you a lot for the help so far.

Hi @erick-dorlass ,

sorry for the delay answering.

The .idmap file issue could be due to format. Actually, when using

download_eggnog_data.py -D -H -d 10239

The .idmap file generated is using tabs for separating the 2 fields, whereas the parser expects single whitespace.
So this looks like a bug we will need to fix. However, I am not sure whether it is the exact same problem you have, since you said that you used the generate_idmap function within hmmer_idmap.py, which should generate an idmap file with single whitespace as field separator.

What does your .idmap file look like?

I have been checking the psutil errors, and I am afraid this is also a bug. The results (annotations, etc) should be ok, since this is a final step in which the processes running hmmpgmd server and workers are shutdown. In this case, the servers are already down, and therefore psutil cannot find the process and raises and exception. I could help you to code a workaround in case that you need it fixed ASAP. I will try to have it fixed at least in the master branch soon. Hopefully also the conda version.

Best,
