Spark cluster mode. Deployment of application jar - maven

I want to run a maven project in spark cluster mode. I have the application jar file. I also have one master and 6 workers in working condition. But when I execute the jar application, the work is not getting distributed among the workers. The following is the command I gave from the spark directory.
./bin/spark-submit --class org.deeplearning4j.mlp.MnistMLPExample --master spark://115.145.173.152:7077 --driver-memory 10g /home/hadoop/Niki/mnist/target/dl4j-spark-0.7-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar.
If I add another parameter --deploy-mode cluster, Then its throwing exception as follows:
Exception in thread "main" com.beust.jcommander.ParameterException: Unknown option: --deploy-mode
Can anyone help me out. Thanks a lot

Hi Nikitha yes you need jar file in all worker nodes because spark transformations and actions will execute on worker nodes and if they use this path they search file in there local path so distribute it on all worker nodes also Can you please tell why you use this jar file path in spark code.

You are running spark in standalone mode. There is no cluster/client mode in standalone. It is relvent in yarn only.

how to switch between cluster types in Apache Spark

I'm trying to switch cluster manager from standalone to 'YARN' in Apache Spark that I've installed for learning.
I read following thread to understand which cluster type should be chosen
However, I'd like to know the steps/syntax to change the cluster type.
Ex: from Standalone to YARN or from YARN to Standalone.
In spark there is one function name as --master that can helps you to execute your script on yarn Cluster mode or standalone mode.
Run the application on local mode or standalone used this with spark-submit command
--master Local[*]
or
--master spark://192.168.10.01:7077 \
--deploy-mode cluster \
Run on a YARN cluster
--master yarn
--deploy-mode cluster
For more information kindly visit this link.
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/submitting-applications.html
If you are not running through command line then you can directly set this master on SparkConf object.
sparkConf.setMaster(http://path/to/master/url:port) in cluster mode
or
sparkConf.setMaster(local[*]) in client/local mode

Can't see Yarn Job when doing Spark-Submit on Yarn Cluster

I am using spark-submit for my job with the command below:
spark-submit script_test.py --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster
spark-submit script_test.py --master yarn-cluster --deploy-mode cluster
The job is working fine. I can see it under the Spark History Server UI. However, I cannot see it under the RessourceManager UI ( YARN).
I have the feeling that my job is not sent to the cluster but it is running only in one node. However, I see nothing wrong on the way I use the Spark-submit command.
Am-i wrong? How can I check it? Or send the job to yarn cluster?
When you are using --master yarn means that in some place you have configured the yarn-site with hosts, ports, and so on.
Maybe the machine where you are using the spark-submit doesn't know where is the Yarn master.
You could check your hadoop/yarn/spark config files, specially the yarn-site.xml to check if the host of the Resource Manager is correct or not.
Those files are in different folders depending on which distribution of Hadoop you are using. In HDP I guess they are in /etc/hadoop/conf
Hope it helps.

How to use JDBC to read datasets from Oracle?

What is really executed and where, when using jdbc drivers to connect to e.g. oracle.?
1: I have started a spark master as
spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master
and a worker like so
spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://myip:7077
and spark shell as
spark-shell --master spark://myip:7077
in spark-defaults.conf I have
spark.driver.extraClassPath = C:/jdbcDrivers/ojdbc8.jar
spark.executor.extraClassPath = C:/jdbcDrivers/ojdbc8.jar
and in spark-env.sh I have
SPARK_CLASSPATH=C:/jdbcDrivers/ojdbc8.jar
I can now run queries against Oracle in the spark-shell:
val jdbcDF = spark.read.format("jdbc").option("url","jdbc:oracle:thin:#...
This works fine without separately adding the jdbc driver jar in the scala shell.
When I start the master and worker in the same way, but create a scala project in eclipse and connecting to the master as follows:
val sparkSession = SparkSession.builder.
master("spark://myip:7077")
.appName("SparkTestApp")
.config("spark.jars", "C:\\pathToJdbc\\ojdbc8.jar")
.getOrCreate()
then it fails if I don't explicitly add the jdbc jar in the scala code.
How is the execution different? Why do I need to specify the jdbc jar in the code? What is the purpose of connecting to the master if it doesn't rely on the master and workers started?
If I use multiple workers with jdbc will they use only one connection or will they simultaneously read in parallel over several connections?
You are certainly using too much for the sample and you got confused.
The two lines, spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master and spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://myip:7077, started a Spark Standalone cluster with one master and one worker. See Spark Standalone Mode.
In addition to running on the Mesos or YARN cluster managers, Spark also provides a simple standalone deploy mode. You can launch a standalone cluster either manually, by starting a master and workers by hand, or use our provided launch scripts. It is also possible to run these daemons on a single machine for testing.
You chose to start the Spark Standalone cluster manually (as described in Starting a Cluster Manually).
I doubt that spark-defaults.conf is used by the cluster at all. The file is to configure your Spark applications that are spark-submit to a cluster (as described in Dynamically Loading Spark Properties):
bin/spark-submit will also read configuration options from conf/spark-defaults.conf, in which each line consists of a key and a value separated by whitespace.
With that said, I think we can safely put Spark Standalone aside. It does not add much to the discussion (and does confuse a bit).
"Installing" JDBC Driver for Spark Application
In order to use a JDBC driver in your Spark application, you should spark-submit with --driver-class-path command-line option (or spark.driver.extraClassPath property as described in Runtime Environment):
spark.driver.extraClassPath Extra classpath entries to prepend to the classpath of the driver.
Note: In client mode, this config must not be set through the SparkConf directly in your application, because the driver JVM has already started at that point. Instead, please set this through the --driver-class-path command line option or in your default properties file.
I strongly recommend using spark-submit --driver-class-path.
$ ./bin/spark-submit --help
...
--driver-class-path Extra class path entries to pass to the driver. Note that
jars added with --jars are automatically included in the
classpath.
You can read my notes on how to use a JDBC driver with PostgreSQL in Working with Datasets from JDBC Data Sources (and PostgreSQL).
PROTIP Use SPARK_PRINT_LAUNCH_COMMAND=1 to check out the command line of spark-submit.
All above applies to spark-shell too (as it uses spark-submit under the covers).

Running spark-submit with --master yarn-cluster: issue with spark-assembly

I am running Spark 1.1.0, HDP 2.1, on a kerberized cluster. I can successfully run spark-submit using --master yarn-client and the results are properly written to HDFS, however, the job doesn't show up on the Hadoop All Applications page. I want to run spark-submit using --master yarn-cluster but I continue to get this error:
appDiagnostics: Application application_1417686359838_0012 failed 2 times due to AM Container
for appattempt_1417686359838_0012_000002 exited with exitCode: -1000 due to: File does not
exist: hdfs://<HOST>/user/<username>/.sparkStaging/application_<numbers>_<more numbers>/spark-assembly-1.1.0-hadoop2.4.0.jar
.Failing this attempt.. Failing the application.
I've provisioned my account with access to the cluster. I've configured yarn-site.xml. I've cleared .sparkStaging. I've tried including --jars [path to my spark assembly in spark/lib]. I've found this question that is very similar, yet unanswered. I can't tell if this is a 2.1 issue, spark 1.1.0, kerberized cluster, configurations, or what. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is probably because you left sparkConf.setMaster("local[n]") in the code.

Spark on yarn concept understanding

I am trying to understand how spark runs on YARN cluster/client. I have the following question in my mind.
Is it necessary that spark is installed on all the nodes in yarn cluster? I think it should because worker nodes in cluster execute a task and should be able to decode the code(spark APIs) in spark application sent to cluster by the driver?
It says in the documentation "Ensure that HADOOP_CONF_DIR or YARN_CONF_DIR points to the directory which contains the (client side) configuration files for the Hadoop cluster". Why does client node have to install Hadoop when it is sending the job to cluster?
Adding to other answers.
Is it necessary that spark is installed on all the nodes in the yarn
cluster?
No, If the spark job is scheduling in YARN(either client or cluster mode). Spark installation is needed in many nodes only for standalone mode.
These are the visualizations of spark app deployment modes.
Spark Standalone Cluster
In cluster mode driver will be sitting in one of the Spark Worker node whereas in client mode it will be within the machine which launched the job.
YARN cluster mode
YARN client mode
This table offers a concise list of differences between these modes:

It says in the documentation "Ensure that HADOOP_CONF_DIR or YARN_CONF_DIR points to the directory which contains the (client-side)
configuration files for the Hadoop cluster". Why does the client node have
to install Hadoop when it is sending the job to cluster?
Hadoop installation is not mandatory but configurations(not all) are!. We can call them Gateway nodes. It's for two main reasons.
The configuration contained in HADOOP_CONF_DIR directory will be distributed to the YARN cluster so that all containers used by the application use the same configuration.
In YARN mode the ResourceManager’s address is picked up from the
Hadoop configuration(yarn-default.xml). Thus, the --master parameter is yarn.
Update: (2017-01-04)
Spark 2.0+ no longer requires a fat assembly jar for production
deployment. source
We are running spark jobs on YARN (we use HDP 2.2).
We don't have spark installed on the cluster. We only added the Spark assembly jar to the HDFS.
For example to run the Pi example:
./bin/spark-submit \
--verbose \
--class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
--master yarn-cluster \
--conf spark.yarn.jar=hdfs://master:8020/spark/spark-assembly-1.3.1-hadoop2.6.0.jar \
--num-executors 2 \
--driver-memory 512m \
--executor-memory 512m \
--executor-cores 4 \
hdfs://master:8020/spark/spark-examples-1.3.1-hadoop2.6.0.jar 100
--conf spark.yarn.jar=hdfs://master:8020/spark/spark-assembly-1.3.1-hadoop2.6.0.jar - This config tell the yarn from were to take the spark assembly. If you don't use it, it will upload the jar from were you run spark-submit.
About your second question: The client node doesn't not need Hadoop installed. It only needs the configuration files. You can copy the directory from your cluster to your client.
1 - Spark if following s slave/master architecture. So on your cluster, you have to install a spark master and N spark slaves. You can run spark in a standalone mode. But using Yarn architecture will give you some benefits.
There is a very good explanation of it here : http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2014/05/apache-spark-resource-management-and-yarn-app-models/
2- It is necessary if you want to use Yarn or HDFS for example, but as i said before you can run it in standalone mode.
Let me try to cut glues and make it short for impatient.
6 components: 1. client, 2. driver, 3. executors, 4. application master, 5. workers, and 6. resource manager; 2 deploy modes; and 2 resource (cluster) management.
Here's the relation:
Client
Nothing special, is the one submitting spark app.
Worker, executors
Nothing special, one worker holds one or more executors.
Master, & resource (cluster) manager
(no matter client or cluster mode)
in yarn, resource manager and master sit in two different nodes;
in standalone, resource manager == master, same process in the same node.
Driver
in client mode, sits with client
in yarn - cluster mode, sits with master (in this case, client process exits after submission of app)
in standalone - cluster mode, sits with one worker
VoilĂ !
