AWS EMR InvalidAuxServiceException: The auxService:mapreduce_shuffle does not exist - amazon-web-services

Question

I am launching an EMR cluster at run time based on an User Event and once the job is done the cluster will be terminated.
How ever when i the cluster is launched and the tasks are getting executed i am getting the Error:
I read some posts where it is being suggested that we need to update yarn-site.xml in namenode and datanodes and restart the yarn instance.
Not sure how to configure this during the launch of the cluster itself.

Answer:
Here is what i have added in my code to resolve the Issue:
Map<String,String> yarnProperties = new HashMap<String,String>();
yarnProperties.put("yarn.nodemanager.aux-services","mapreduce_shuffle");
yarnProperties.put("yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce_shuffle.class","org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler");
Configuration yarnConfig = new Configuration()
.withClassification("yarn-env")
.withProperties(yarnProperties);
RunJobFlowRequest request = new RunJobFlowRequest()
.withConfigurations(yarnConfig)

Answer 1

We were setting some other properties in the yarn-site.xml .
In case you are trying to create using AWS CLI, you can use
--configurations 'json file with the config'
Else if you are trying to create through java , for example
Application hive = new Application().withName("Hive");
Map<String,String> hiveProperties = new HashMap<String,String>();
hiveProperties.put("hive.join.emit.interval","1000");
hiveProperties.put("hive.merge.mapfiles","true");
Configuration myHiveConfig = new Configuration()
.withClassification("hive-site")
.withProperties(hiveProperties);
Then you can refer as
RunJobFlowRequest request = new RunJobFlowRequest()
.withName("Create cluster with ReleaseLabel")
.withReleaseLabel("emr-5.13.0")
.withApplications(hive)
.withConfigurations(myHiveConfig)
For the other problem :-
You need to add this 2 properties in the above way and then create the cluster:-
<configuration>
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
<value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce_shuffle.class</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler</value>
</property>
</configuration>
