How to execute spark submit on amazon EMR from Lambda function? - amazon-web-services

Question

I want to execute spark submit job on AWS EMR cluster based on the file upload event on S3. I am using AWS Lambda function to capture the event but I have no idea how to submit spark submit job on EMR cluster from Lambda function.
Most of the answers that i searched talked about adding a step in the EMR cluster. But I do not know if I can add add any step to fire "spark submit --with args" in the added step.

Answer 1

You can, I had to same thing last week!
Using boto3 for Python (other languages would definitely have a similar solution) you can either start a cluster with the defined step, or attach a step to an already up cluster.
Defining the cluster with the step
def lambda_handler(event, context):
conn = boto3.client("emr")
cluster_id = conn.run_job_flow(
Name='ClusterName',
ServiceRole='EMR_DefaultRole',
JobFlowRole='EMR_EC2_DefaultRole',
VisibleToAllUsers=True,
LogUri='s3n://some-log-uri/elasticmapreduce/',
ReleaseLabel='emr-5.8.0',
Instances={
'InstanceGroups': [
{
'Name': 'Master nodes',
'Market': 'ON_DEMAND',
'InstanceRole': 'MASTER',
'InstanceType': 'm3.xlarge',
'InstanceCount': 1,
},
{
'Name': 'Slave nodes',
'Market': 'ON_DEMAND',
'InstanceRole': 'CORE',
'InstanceType': 'm3.xlarge',
'InstanceCount': 2,
}
],
'Ec2KeyName': 'key-name',
'KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps': False,
'TerminationProtected': False
},
Applications=[{
'Name': 'Spark'
}],
Configurations=[{
"Classification":"spark-env",
"Properties":{},
"Configurations":[{
"Classification":"export",
"Properties":{
"PYSPARK_PYTHON":"python35",
"PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON":"python35"
}
}]
}],
BootstrapActions=[{
'Name': 'Install',
'ScriptBootstrapAction': {
'Path': 's3://path/to/bootstrap.script'
}
}],
Steps=[{
'Name': 'StepName',
'ActionOnFailure': 'TERMINATE_CLUSTER',
'HadoopJarStep': {
'Jar': 's3n://elasticmapreduce/libs/script-runner/script-runner.jar',
'Args': [
"/usr/bin/spark-submit", "--deploy-mode", "cluster",
's3://path/to/code.file', '-i', 'input_arg',
'-o', 'output_arg'
]
}
}],
)
return "Started cluster {}".format(cluster_id)
Attaching a step to an already running cluster
As per here
def lambda_handler(event, context):
conn = boto3.client("emr")
# chooses the first cluster which is Running or Waiting
# possibly can also choose by name or already have the cluster id
clusters = conn.list_clusters()
# choose the correct cluster
clusters = [c["Id"] for c in clusters["Clusters"]
if c["Status"]["State"] in ["RUNNING", "WAITING"]]
if not clusters:
sys.stderr.write("No valid clusters\n")
sys.stderr.exit()
# take the first relevant cluster
cluster_id = clusters[0]
# code location on your emr master node
CODE_DIR = "/home/hadoop/code/"
# spark configuration example
step_args = ["/usr/bin/spark-submit", "--spark-conf", "your-configuration",
CODE_DIR + "your_file.py", '--your-parameters', 'parameters']
step = {"Name": "what_you_do-" + time.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H:%M"),
'ActionOnFailure': 'CONTINUE',
'HadoopJarStep': {
'Jar': 's3n://elasticmapreduce/libs/script-runner/script-runner.jar',
'Args': step_args
}
}
action = conn.add_job_flow_steps(JobFlowId=cluster_id, Steps=[step])
return "Added step: %s"%(action)

AWS Lambda function python code if you want to execute Spark jar using spark submit command:
from botocore.vendored import requests
import json
def lambda_handler(event, context):
headers = { "content-type": "application/json" }
url = 'http://ip-address.ec2.internal:8998/batches'
payload = {
'file' : 's3://Bucket/Orchestration/RedshiftJDBC41.jar
s3://Bucket/Orchestration/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar
s3://Bucket/Orchestration/SparkCode.jar',
'className' : 'Main Class Name',
'args' : [event.get('rootPath')]
}
res = requests.post(url, data = json.dumps(payload), headers = headers, verify = False)
json_data = json.loads(res.text)
return json_data.get('id')
