Unable to Pass option using getopts to oozie shell Action - shell

I created a script in shell and passing the arguments using getopts methods in my script like this:
sh my_code.sh -F"file_name"
where my_code.sh is my unix script name and file_name is the file I am passing to my script using getopts.
This is working fine when I am invoking my script from the command line.
I want to invoke the same script by using oozie, but I am not sure how can I do it.
I tried passing the argument to the "exec" as well as "file" tag in the xml
When I am trying passing argument in exec tag, it was giving "JavaNullPoint" Expection
exec TAG
<exec>my_code.sh -F file_name</exec>
file TAG
<file>$/user/oozie/my_code.sh#$my_code.sh -F file_name</file>
When I am trying passing argument in File Tag, I was getting error, "No such File or directory". It was searching the file_name in /yarn/hadoop directory.
Can anyone please suggest how can I achieve this by using oozie?

You need to create a lib/ folder as part of your workflow where Oozie will upload the script as part of its process. This directory should also be uploaded to the oozie.wf.application.path location.
The reason this is required is that Oozie will run on any random YARN node, and pretend that you had a hundred node cluster, and you would otherwise have to ensure that every single server had /user/oozie/my_code.sh file available (which of course is hard to track). When this file can be placed on HDFS, every node can download it locally.
So if you put the script in the lib directory next to the workflow xml that you submit, then you can reference the script by name directly rather than using the # syntax
Then, you'll want to use the argument xml tags for the opts
https://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.3.1/DG_ShellActionExtension.html

I have created lib/ folder and uploaded it to oozie.wf.application.path location.
I am able to pass files to my shell action.

append a parameter to a command in the file and run the appended command

I have a the following command in a file called $stat_val_result_command.
I want to add -Xms1g parameter at the end of the file so that is should look like this:
<my command in the file> -Xms1g
However, I want to run this command after append. I am running this in a workflow system called "nextflow". I tied many things, including following, but it does not working. check the script section which runs in Bash by default:
process statisticalValidation {
input:
file stat_val_result_command from validation_results_command.flatten()
output:
file "*_${params.ticket}_statistical_validation.txt" into validation_results
script:
"""
echo " -Xms1g" >> $stat_val_result_command && ```cat $stat_val_result_command```
"""
}
Best to avoid appending to or manipulating input files localized in the workdir as these can be, and are by default, symbolic links to the original files.
In your case, consider instead exporting the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable. This might or might not work for you, but might give you some ideas if you have control over how the scripts are being generated:
export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Xms1g"
bash "${stat_val_result_command}"
Also, it's generally better to avoid localizing and running scripts like this. It might be unavoidable, but usually there are better options. For example, third-party scripts, like your Bash script could be handled more simply:
Grant the execute permission to these files and copy them into a
folder named bin/ in the root directory of your project repository.
Nextflow will automatically add this folder to the PATH environment
variable, and the scripts will automatically be accessible in your
pipeline without the need to specify an absolute path to invoke them.
This of course assumes you can control and parameterize the process that creates your Bash scripts.

How to execute EMR step that loads more scripts from s3?

I want to execute a shell script as a step on EMR that loads a tarball, unzips it and runs the script inside. I chose this setup to stay as vendor-agnostic as possible.
My script is
#!/bin/sh
aws s3 cp s3://path_to_my_bucket/name_of.tar.gz .
tar -xzf name_of.tar.gz
. main_script.sh
Where main_script.sh is part of the tarball along with a number of other packages, scripts and config files.
If I run this script as a Hadoop user on the master node, everything works as intended. Added as a step via the command-runner.jar, I get errors, no matter what I try.
What I tried so far (and the errors):
running the script as above (file not found "main_script.sh")
hardcoding the path to be the Hadoop users home directory (permission denied on main_script.sh)
dynamically getting the path where script lives (using this) and giving this path as an argument for the tar -C option and invoking main_script.sh explicitly from this path (another permission denied on main_script.sh)
What is the proper way of loading a bash script into the master node and executing it?
As a bonus, I am wondering why the command-runner.jar is set up so different from the spark step, which runs as the Hadoop user in the Hadoop user directory.
you can use script-runner.jar with region
JAR location : s3://us-east-1.elasticmapreduce/libs/script-runner/script-runner.jar
Arguments : s3://your_bucket/your_shell_script.sh

Can a hive script be run from another hive script?

I have created two hive scripts script1.hql and script2.hql.
Is it possible to run the script script2.hql from script1.hql?
I read about using the source command, but could not get around about its use.
Any pointers/ref docs will be appreciated..
Use source <filepath> command:
source /tmp/script2.hql; --inside script1
The docs are here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli
Hive will include text of /tmp/script2.hql and execute it in the same context, so all variables defined for main script will be accessible script2 commands.
source command looks for local path (not HDFS). Copy file to local directory before executing.
Try using command and see if you can execute
hive -f /home/user/sample.sql

Using Script to Execute C File in Different Directory

I am new to C, so apologies if this is a naive question. I have been given a script to execute C programs. The first line has the format:
./directory_name program_name program_parameter_1 program_parameter_2
When I execute the script from a different directory I get the following error:
No such file or directory.
When I execute the script from the named directory, I get a different type of error:
directory_name is a directory.
Does someone know what the script file is trying to accomplish?
I have read about commands that change directories through script files, but they don't seem to have this format (i.e. directory name following ./), so I am confused.
Thanks!
If the script is presenting a different behavior depending on the directory you are running it, that means the code inside the file is referencing some dependency that is mapped from a specific location.
Why don't you check the source and learn more about what the script is doing?
Are you confused about "./"? That's how you execute a script, you don't have to worry about what kind of interpreter will process this code, that's defined in the shebang (#!).

Running shell script from oozie through Hue

I am invoking a bash shell script using oozie editor in Hue.
I used the shell action in the workflow and tried below different options in shell command:
Uploaded the shell script using 'choose a file'
Gave local directory path where shell script is present
Gave HDFS path where shell script is present
But all these options gave following error:
Cannot run program "sec_test_oozie.sh" (in directory "/data/hadoop/yarn/local/usercache/user/appcache/application_1399542362142_0086/container_1399542362142_0086_01_000002"): java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
How should I give the shell script execution command?
Where the shell script file should be residing?
You need add file "sec_test_oozie.sh" in oozie shell step. In add files
I think you are creating the file from windows machine which is adding extra line break characters.You need to convert the shell script file to Unix format.I also faced the same issue.Then I created the file from a Linux system and it started working.The error is misguiding.
I want to extend the #SergioRG answer. Oozie, at least with Cloudera's Hue interface is very counterintuitive.
To run a script file, three conditions should be met:
the file is on the HDFS file system, in a folder accessible by Oozie
the file should be indicated in the shell command field
the file should be added with any other dependent file in the "Files+" part of the task card.
I wonder why they didn't add by default the script file you are calling.
Edit: please also check in advanced options (the gear in the left upper corner) if you need to set the path variable (eg. PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin).
Did you edit sec_test_oozie.sh with the Hue File Browser? Depending on your Hue version it might have corrupted it: hue-list
I encountered the same problem, and the problem was that the script echoed some irrelevant line while the workflow tried to parse it as a property line. Oozie gave a very irrelevant error message of java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory which only added confusion.
You will need to use <file> to add your script.
If you used <capture-output/> then you must make sure that your script prints only "key=value" lines, like java properties, otherwise you will get the error you see java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory with some path pointing to .../yarn/local/usercache/...
We had this issue on a test script, basically if you use an editor that adds wierd characters or line ending to the file, it'll throw this error because the script cannot be used in the container.
Try using nano file.sh to see if any strange characters appear. Then push it back to hdfs with hdfs dfs -put file.sh /path/you/need
Removing the #!/bin/bash from my shell script helped me
"No such a file or directory" oozie cannot locate the file. Please check the AddPath setting in the command.
In the edit node seciton, get the oozie application hdfs path.
Upload the shell script in hdfs oozie application path.
In the oozie edit node step, Shell command - specify the shell script name which is uploaded.
Below that there would be option to AddPath, then add files, add the shell script which was uploaded in the hdfs path.
