[Tutorial] Spark Workloads Using Juju - Part 2 (Spark Singleton Extended Bundle)

Generally we can think of a spark deploy as something more than just a single node. The following bundle will help get you started in the right direction toward a very usable standalone spark cluster.

Spark Standalone Bundle Core Components

The spark standalone bundle deploy consists of a few different components.

The core components:

The peripheral/monitoring components:

Component Charmstore
telegraf cs:~telegraf
grafana cs:~grafana
prometheus2 cs:~prometheus2

Deploy the Bundle

To deploy this bundle put the following yaml into a file and deploy it with juju deploy bundle.yaml.

bundle.yaml

Usage

Login to the jupyter notebook at the ip address and port shown in the juju status. Using the example above, the jupyter-notebook can be accessed at http://172.31.104.248:8888.

Once you are logged into the jupyter-notebook ui, go ahead and fire up a new notebook in the environment created by the conda charm.


As you can see, the conda environment will have the same name as the deployed conda charm.
In this case our conda charm application name is ‘pyspark’ and as such we should find a conda environment created with the name ‘pyspark’.

Inform the notebook environment where PYSPARK_PYTHON is by assigning it the value that is the location of the conda environment python. In this example we would use:

os.environ['PYSPARK_PYTHON'] = '/opt/conda/envs/pyspark/bin/python'

Verification

A simple example to verify everything is working (substitute in your own spark-master ip):

import os
os.environ['PYSPARK_PYTHON'] = '/opt/conda/envs/pyspark/bin/python'

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark import SparkConf

import random


conf = SparkConf()\
    .setAppName('JUJU_PI_TEST')\
    .setMaster('spark://<spark-master-ip>:7077')

spark = SparkSession.builder.config(conf=conf).getOrCreate()

sc = spark.sparkContext

num_samples = 100000000

def inside(p):     
  x, y = random.random(), random.random()
  return x*x + y*y < 1

count = sc.parallelize(range(0, num_samples)).filter(inside).count()
pi = 4 * count / num_samples

print(pi)
sc.stop()

Test S3A Works

A simple cell to verify S3A is working correctly across the c;luster. Once deployed, run the following cell in your notebook substituting in your own aws credentials + s3 endpoint, spark master ip, and s3 file location.

import os
os.environ['PYSPARK_PYTHON'] = '/opt/conda/envs/pyspark/bin/python'

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark import SparkConf


conf = SparkConf()\
    .setAppName('JUJU_S3A_TEST')\
    .setMaster('spark://<spark-master-ip>:7077')\
    .set('spark.jars.packages', 'org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:3.1.2')

spark = SparkSession.builder.config(conf=conf).getOrCreate()

sc = spark.sparkContext
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3a.connection.ssl.enabled", "true")
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3a.endpoint", "<aws-s3-endpoint>")
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3a.access.key", "<aws-access-key>")
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3a.secret.key", "<aws-access-key-id>")

sc.textFile("s3a://a/file/in/my/s3bucket.json").take(1)

Monitoring

Login to the grafana monitoring dashboard by retrieving the ip address from the grafana charm and accessing the grafana web ui.

Access the grafana web ui at: http://172.31.104.241:3000

user: admin
password: juju run-action grafana/0 get-admin-password --wait --format json | jq -r '.[]["results"]["password"]'

Nice!

  • Perhaps fewer than 20 units spark?
  • A few words or links about the aux charms?

Thanks!. The # of units is arbitrary. The point of this is to show that it can be far greater then just a singleton! I do like where you are going with more realistic/sensible defaults for the common man, that will do. I change it to 10 units in the markdown above, Good insight.
