|
| -An Introduction to boto's Elastic Mapreduce interface
|
| -=====================================================
|
| -
|
| -This tutorial focuses on the boto interface to Elastic Mapreduce from
|
| -Amazon Web Services. This tutorial assumes that you have already
|
| -downloaded and installed boto.
|
| -
|
| -Creating a Connection
|
| ----------------------
|
| -The first step in accessing Elastic Mapreduce is to create a connection
|
| -to the service. There are two ways to do this in boto. The first is:
|
| -
|
| ->>> from boto.emr.connection import EmrConnection
|
| ->>> conn = EmrConnection('<aws access key>', '<aws secret key>')
|
| -
|
| -At this point the variable conn will point to an EmrConnection object.
|
| -In this example, the AWS access key and AWS secret key are passed in to
|
| -the method explicitly. Alternatively, you can set the environment variables:
|
| -
|
| -AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS Access Key ID \
|
| -AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS Secret Access Key
|
| -
|
| -and then call the constructor without any arguments, like this:
|
| -
|
| ->>> conn = EmrConnection()
|
| -
|
| -There is also a shortcut function in the boto package called connect_emr
|
| -that may provide a slightly easier means of creating a connection:
|
| -
|
| ->>> import boto
|
| ->>> conn = boto.connect_emr()
|
| -
|
| -In either case, conn points to an EmrConnection object which we will use
|
| -throughout the remainder of this tutorial.
|
| -
|
| -Creating Streaming JobFlow Steps
|
| ---------------------------------
|
| -Upon creating a connection to Elastic Mapreduce you will next
|
| -want to create one or more jobflow steps. There are two types of steps, streaming
|
| -and custom jar, both of which have a class in the boto Elastic Mapreduce implementation.
|
| -
|
| -Creating a streaming step that runs the AWS wordcount example, itself written in Python, can be accomplished by:
|
| -
|
| ->>> from boto.emr.step import StreamingStep
|
| ->>> step = StreamingStep(name='My wordcount example',
|
| -... mapper='s3n://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/wordSplitter.py',
|
| -... reducer='aggregate',
|
| -... input='s3n://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input',
|
| -... output='s3n://<my output bucket>/output/wordcount_output')
|
| -
|
| -where <my output bucket> is a bucket you have created in S3.
|
| -
|
| -Note that this statement does not run the step, that is accomplished later when we create a jobflow.
|
| -
|
| -Additional arguments of note to the streaming jobflow step are cache_files, cache_archive and step_args. The options cache_files and cache_archive enable you to use the Hadoops distributed cache to share files amongst the instances that run the step. The argument step_args allows one to pass additional arguments to Hadoop streaming, for example modifications to the Hadoop job configuration.
|
| -
|
| -Creating Custom Jar Job Flow Steps
|
| -----------------------------------
|
| -
|
| -The second type of jobflow step executes tasks written with a custom jar. Creating a custom jar step for the AWS CloudBurst example can be accomplished by:
|
| -
|
| ->>> from boto.emr.step import JarStep
|
| ->>> step = JarStep(name='Coudburst example',
|
| -... jar='s3n://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/cloudburst.jar',
|
| -... step_args=['s3n://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/input/s_suis.br',
|
| -... 's3n://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/input/100k.br',
|
| -... 's3n://<my output bucket>/output/cloudfront_output',
|
| -... 36, 3, 0, 1, 240, 48, 24, 24, 128, 16])
|
| -
|
| -Note that this statement does not actually run the step, that is accomplished later when we create a jobflow. Also note that this JarStep does not include a main_class argument since the jar MANIFEST.MF has a Main-Class entry.
|
| -
|
| -Creating JobFlows
|
| ------------------
|
| -Once you have created one or more jobflow steps, you will next want to create and run a jobflow. Creating a jobflow that executes either of the steps we created above can be accomplished by:
|
| -
|
| ->>> import boto
|
| ->>> conn = boto.connect_emr()
|
| ->>> jobid = conn.run_jobflow(name='My jobflow',
|
| -... log_uri='s3://<my log uri>/jobflow_logs',
|
| -... steps=[step])
|
| -
|
| -The method will not block for the completion of the jobflow, but will immediately return. The status of the jobflow can be determined by:
|
| -
|
| ->>> status = conn.describe_jobflow(jobid)
|
| ->>> status.state
|
| -u'STARTING'
|
| -
|
| -One can then use this state to block for a jobflow to complete. Valid jobflow states currently defined in the AWS API are COMPLETED, FAILED, TERMINATED, RUNNING, SHUTTING_DOWN, STARTING and WAITING.
|
| -
|
| -In some cases you may not have built all of the steps prior to running the jobflow. In these cases additional steps can be added to a jobflow by running:
|
| -
|
| ->>> conn.add_jobflow_steps(jobid, [second_step])
|
| -
|
| -If you wish to add additional steps to a running jobflow you may want to set the keep_alive parameter to True in run_jobflow so that the jobflow does not automatically terminate when the first step completes.
|
| -
|
| -The run_jobflow method has a number of important parameters that are worth investigating. They include parameters to change the number and type of EC2 instances on which the jobflow is executed, set a SSH key for manual debugging and enable AWS console debugging.
|
| -
|
| -Terminating JobFlows
|
| ---------------------
|
| -By default when all the steps of a jobflow have finished or failed the jobflow terminates. However, if you set the keep_alive parameter to True or just want to halt the execution of a jobflow early you can terminate a jobflow by:
|
| -
|
| ->>> import boto
|
| ->>> conn = boto.connect_emr()
|
| ->>> conn.terminate_jobflow('<jobflow id>')
|
