Installing Spark on YARN

Describes how to use package managers to download and install Spark on YARN from the EEP repository.

Prerequisites

To set up the EEP repository, see Step 11: Install Ecosystem Components Manually.

About this task

Spark is distributed as three separate packages:

Package Description
mapr-spark Install this package on any node where you want to install Spark. This package is dependent on the following packages:
  • mapr-client
  • mapr-hadoop-client
  • mapr-hadoop-util
  • mapr-librdkafka
mapr-spark-historyserver Install this optional package on Spark History Server nodes. This package is dependent on the following packages:
  • mapr-spark
  • mapr-core
mapr-spark-thriftserver Install this optional package on Spark Thrift Server nodes. This package is available starting in the EEP 4.0 release. This package is dependent on the following packages:
  • mapr-spark
  • mapr-core

To install Spark on YARN (Hadoop 2), execute the following commands as root or using sudo:

Procedure

  1. Verify that JDK 11 or later is installed on the node where you want to install Spark.
  2. Create the /apps/spark directory on the cluster file system, and set the correct permissions on the directory: 
    hadoop fs -mkdir /apps/spark
hadoop fs -chmod 777 /apps/spark
    NOTE
    Beginning with EEP 6.2.0, the configure.sh script creates the /apps/spark directory automatically when using the Installer. However, you must manually create this directory when performing a manual installation.
  3. Install the packages:
    On Ubuntu
    apt-get install mapr-spark mapr-spark-historyserver mapr-spark-thriftserver
    On Red Hat / Rocky
    dnf install mapr-spark mapr-spark-historyserver mapr-spark-thriftserver
    On SLES
    zypper install mapr-spark mapr-spark-historyserver mapr-spark-thriftserver
    NOTE
    The mapr-spark-historyserver and mapr-spark-thriftserver packages are optional.
  4. If you want to integrate Spark with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams, install the Streams Client on each Spark node:
    • On Ubuntu:
       apt-get install mapr-kafka
    • On Red Hat / Rocky:
      yum install mapr-kafka
  5. If you want to use a Streaming Producer, add the spark-streaming-kafka-producer_2.12.jar from the Data Fabric Maven repository to the Spark classpath (/opt/mapr/spark/spark-<versions>/jars/).
    For repository-specific information, see Maven Artifacts for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric
  6. Run configure.sh -R: 
    /opt/mapr/server/configure.sh -R
  7. After installing Spark on YARN but before running your Spark jobs, follow the steps outlined in Configuring Spark on YARN.
