Overview

This cookbook installs and configures Apache Spark. Currently, only the standalone deployment mode is supported. Future work:

• YARN and Mesos deployment modes
• Support installing from Cloudera and HDP Spark packages.

Compatibility

The following platforms are currently tested:

• Ubuntu 12.04
• CentOS 6.5

The following platforms are not tested but will probably work (tests coming soon):

• Fedora 21
• Ubuntu 14.04

Configuration

• node['apache_spark']['install_mode']: tarball to install from a downloaded tarball, or package to install from an OS-specific package.
• node['apache_spark']['download_url']: the URL to download Apache Spark binary distribution tarball in the tarball installation mode.
• node['apache_spark']['checksum']: SHA256 checksum for the Apache Spark binary distribution tarball.
• node['apache_spark']['pkg_name']: package name to install in the package installation mode.
• node['apache_spark']['pkg_version']: package version to install in the package installation mode.
• node['apache_spark']['install_dir']: target directory to install Spark to in the tarball installation mode. In the package mode, this must be set to the directory that the package installs Spark into.
• node['apache_spark']['install_base_dir']: in the tarball installation mode, this is where the tarball is actually extracted, and a symlink pointing to the subdirectory containing a specific Spark version is created at node['apache_spark']['install_dir'].
• node['apache_spark']['user']: UNIX user to create for running Spark.
• node['apache_spark']['group']: UNIX group to create for running Spark.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['master_host']: Spark standalone-mode workers will connect to this host.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['master_bind_ip']: the IP the master should bind to. This should be set in such a way that workers will be able to connect to the master.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['master_port']: the port for the Spark standalone master to listen on.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['master_webui_port']: Spark standalone master web UI port.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_bind_ip']: the IP address workers bind to. They bind to all network interfaces by default.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_webui_port']: the port for the Spark worker web UI to listen on.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['job_dir_days_retained']: app-... subdirectories of node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_work_dir'] older than this number of days will be deleted periodically on worker nodes to prevent unbounded accumulation. These directories contain Spark executor stdout/stderr logs. The directories will still be retained to honor node['apache_spark']['standalone']['job_dir_num_retained'].
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['job_dir_num_retained']: the minimum number of Spark executor log directories (app-...) to retain, regardless of creation time.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_dir_cleanup_log']: log file path for the Spark executor log directories cleanup script.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_cores']: the number of "cores" (threads) to allocate on each worker node.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_work_dir']: the directory to store Spark executor logs and Spark job jars.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_memory_mb']: the amount of memory in MB to allocate to each worker (i.e. the maximum total memory used by different applications' executors running on a worker node).
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['default_executor_mem_mb']: the default amount of memory to be allocated to a Spark application's executor on each node.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['log_dir']: the log directory for Spark masters and workers.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['daemon_root_logger']: the spark.root.logger property is set to this.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['max_num_open_files']: the maximum number of open files to set using ulimit before launching a worker.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['java_debug_enabled']: whether Java debugging options are to be enabled for Spark processes. Note: currently, this option is not working as intended.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['default_debug_port']: default Java debug port to use. A free port is chosen if this port is unavailable.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['master_debug_port']: default Java debug port to use for Spark masters. A free port is chosen if this port is unavailable.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_debug_port']: default Java debug port to use for Spark workers. A free port is chosen if this port is unavailable.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['executor_debug_port']: default Java debug port to use for Spark standalone executors. A free port is chosen if this port is unavailable.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['common_extra_classpath_items']: common classpath items to add to Spark application driver and executors (but not Spark master and worker processes).
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_dir']: Set to a non-nil value to tell the spark worker to use an alternate directory for spark scratch space
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['worker_opts']: Set to a non-nil value to pass along any additional settings to the spark worker. E.G.: -Dspark.worker.cleanup.enabled=true -Dspark.worker.cleanup.appDataTtl=86400. Ideal for worker options only that you do not want in the default configuration file.
• node['apache_spark']['conf']['...']: Spark configuration options that go into the default Spark configuration file. See https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration.html for details.
• node['apache_spark']['standalone']['local_dirs']: a list of local directories to use on workers. This is where map output files are stored, so these directories should have enough space available.
