Spark Prerequisites

This topic describes the prerequisites to run Spark Applications on Kubernetes clusters in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.

Install HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise.
Apply the license to run Apache Spark Applications. See Product Licensing and License Tab.
Log in to HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise as a Platform Administrator. To learn more about the users and their roles in HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise, see Users and Roles.
Configure Kubernetes cluster with one Master host and at least two Worker hosts. To submit a simple Spark Application, a single worker host must have a combined total of at least 3 vCPU cores and at least 4GB of RAM (recommended). The amount of RAM required depends on the number of Spark jobs running concurrently.
(Optional) Configure AD/LDAP server to use the autoticketgenerator feature. See Spark Security.
HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise only supports the Spark operator on Kubernetes clusters created within the deployment. Spark Operator is not supported on imported Kubernetes clusters.
