Spark - Livy (Rest API )

Card Puncher Data Processing

About

Livy is an open source REST interface for interacting with Spark from anywhere.

It supports executing:

  • snippets of code
  • or programs

in a Spark Context that runs locally or in YARN.

It's used to submit remote job.

Code example

step-by-step example of interacting with Livy in Python with the python Requests library for

Endpoint

  • Azure Hdinsight:
    • <spark_cluster_name>.azurehdinsight.net/livy
    • http://<headnode>:8998 on the same vnet than the cluster

Client

Server Management

Installation

Alive

curl -u admin -G "http://10.0.0.11:8998/"

Start and stop

export SPARK_HOME=/usr/lib/spark
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/etc/hadoop/conf
#  Livy uses the Spark configuration under SPARK_HOME by default. You can override the Spark configuration by setting the SPARK_CONF_DIR environment variable 
export SAPRK_CONF_DIR=$SPARK_HOME/conf

./bin/livy-server

# Hortonworks
# /usr/hdp/<hdp_version>/livy2/bin/livy-server start

Configuration

LIVY_CONF_DIR is by default is the conf directory under the Livy installation. Example: /usr/bin/livy2/conf

The configuration of Livy goes through different file:

  • livy.conf: the server configuration
  • spark-blacklist.conf: Spark configuration options that users are not allowed to override
  • log4j.properties: configuration for Livy logging. See Java - Log4j
  • livy-defaults
  • livy-env-sh

Log

The log is set in the environment variable LIVY_LOG_DIR

export LIVY_LOG_DIR=/var/log/livy

Process

The PID dir is found in the environment variable LIVY_PID_DIR

export LIVY_PID_DIR=/var/run/livy

ps -q $(cat $LIVY_PID_DIR/livy-livy-server.pid) -o comm=

Submit

Runs a statement in a session.

r = requests.post(statements_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
r.json()
{u’output’: None, u’state’: u’running’, u’id’: 0}

statement_url = host + r.headers[‘location’]

r = requests.get(statement_url, headers=headers)

  "https://hostname/livy/batches"
  • One
curl -k \
  --user "<user>:<user password>" \
  -v \
  -X GET \
  "https://hostname/livy/batches/{batchId}"

Delete

curl -k \
  --user "<user>:<user password>" \
  -v \
  -X DELETE \
  "https://hostname/livy/batches/{batchId}"

Submit application

Spark - Spark-submit

master and deploy mode are not in the data because they are configured in the configuration

Example: for data, see cloudera/livy

POST /batches
{
  “className”: “org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi”,
  “executorMemory”: “20g”,
  “args”: [2000],
  “file”: “/path/to/examples.jar”
}

With curl:

curl -k \
  --user "<user>:<user password>" \
  -v \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{ "file":"<path to application jar>", "className":"<classname in jar>" }' \
  # If the data (file, classname) are in a file
  # --data @C:\Temp\input.txt \
