# EMR Client - Fork of Official Amazon Elastic Map Reduce Ruby Client Works on Ruby 1.9 and above = Amazon Elastic Map Reduce Ruby Client Readme Location of the Ruby Client: http://elasticmapreduce.s3.amazonaws.com/elastic-mapreduce-ruby.zip Welcome the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Ruby client. This package contains a pure Ruby client for the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Web Service. Amazon Elastic MapReduce is a service that makes it easy for researchers, data analysts, and developers to efficiently and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data using the Amazon EC2 service. The service launches the EC2 instances on your behalf to process data, monitor execution and, when the processing is over, shut down EC2 instances. It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with Hadoop and the creation of MapReduce jobs. Additional information on how to write Map Reduce jobs can be found at the Hadoop website (http://hadoop.apache.org/). The version of Hadoop used by Amazon Elastic MapReduce is 0.20. We also support Hadoop version 0.18. == Conventions Used in this Document Commands that you execute from a bash shell are indented and begin with $. $ echo "This is an example" This is an example The output of the command is sometimes shown directly below the command. Sometimes examples contain a value that you should modify for your own situation, for example: $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABAB --terminate In this example, you should replace j-ABABABABAB with the id of the jobflow that you wish to terminate. Another common example is s3://mybucket/input. You should replace this with a path in to S3 that contains the data that you want to process. Other times a value for replacement will be enclosed in angle brackets. For example, <insert_your_aws_access_id_here>. You should replace this with your AWS access id including the angle brackets. For example: "access-id": "<insert your AWS access id here>", becomes "access-id": "AAAAAJABASBASBJASAAA", == Installation and Dependencies The Amazon Elastic MapReduce Ruby client requires Ruby version 1.8. It has been tested on Linux computers. The Ruby client can be run on Windows computers, but has not been fully tested. To run the client you will need to have signed up for Amazon Elastic MapReduce Service at http://aws.amazon.com. Amazon Elastic MapReduce uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to run your job flows and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) to store and access your data. After completing the sign-up process, you can use Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and Simple Storage Service. === Step 1: Download and Install Ruby If you already have Ruby installed, you can skip this step. On Ubuntu and Debian computers you install Ruby with: $ apt-get install ruby1.8 On Redhat computers you can install Ruby with yum install ruby On Macintosh computersyou should already have Ruby installed. On Windows computers you can install Ruby using the 1-click Windows installer for Ruby. We recommend you install the final release available at: http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl You can verify that Ruby is installed by typing ruby -v at the command prompt. === Step 2: Download the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Ruby Client The latest version of the Ruby client can be obtained by $ mkdir elastic-mapreduce-ruby $ cd elastic-mapreduce-ruby $ wget http://elasticmapreduce.s3.amazonaws.com/elastic-mapreduce-ruby.zip Unzip the archive $ unzip elastic-mapreduce-ruby.zip === Step 2a: Edit Your Path If you're running bash or zsh as your shell, then you can add the directory where you installed the elastic-mapreduce program to your path with the command: $ export PATH=$PATH:<directory_where_you_unzipped_elastic_mapreduce_client> For csh or tcsh $ set path = ($path <directory_where_you_unzipped_elastic_mapreduce_client> === Step 3: Create a Credentials File Ensure you are already in the elastic-mapreduce-ruby directory. Use your AWS access key and private key in the following command. These credentials are available on the http://aws.amazon.com website under "Your Account/Access Identifiers" (top right). $ cat > credentials.json { "access-id": "<insert your AWS access id here>", "private-key": "<insert your AWS secret access key here>", "key-pair": "<insert the name of your Amazon ec2 key-pair here>", "key-pair-file": "<insert the path to the .pem file for your Amazon ec2 key pair here>", "region": "<The region where you wish to launch your job flows. Should be one of us-east-1, us-west-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-northeast-1, or sa-east-1>" } Windows Users: If you are running a Windows computer then create a credentials.json file using notepad.exe with the content above inserted between the braces. You do not have to include a key-pair in the credentials file, but it is a good idea to include it so that when you run job flows you will be able to log onto the master node to see the log files. If you don't have an EC2 key-pair, you can create one at: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home#c=EC2&s=KeyPairs Save the pem file somewhere safe for use later. You will need it to log onto the master node running your job flow. If region is not specified, the client will default to us-east-1. Because you pay for cross-region data transfer, the region you create your job flows should be the one where your S3 input data exists. Note: If you have credentials in a file other than credentials.json which is located in the current directory, then you can specify a credentials file on the command line with the following command: $ elastic-mapreduce -c <yourcredentialsfile>.json --list Windows Users: Windows users must specify "ruby" on the command line instead of "./". The command would be: C:\> ruby elastic-mapreduce -c <yourcredentialsfile>.json --list You can also specify and AWS access id and private key and key pair on the command line. $ elastic-mapreduce -a <access-id> -k <private-key> --key-pair <key-pair> --list Similarly, you can specify a region on the command line. $ elastic-mapreduce --region us-east-1 --list Note that job flow listings are region specific. If you create a job flow with region eu-west-1 then you will not be able to see it in the list if you specify us-east-1. == Basic Usage You can get a summary of supported command line options with: $ elastic-mapreduce --help === Listing Job Flows The web service supports the following operations: --list, --describe, --create, --terminate, --stream, and --jar. To list job flows created in the last 2 days: $ elastic-mapreduce --list j-1YE2DN7RXJBWU FAILED Example Job Flow CANCELLED Custom Jar j-3GJ4FRRNKGY97 COMPLETED ec2-67-202-3-73.compute-1.amazonaws.com Example job flow j-5XXFIQS8PFNW COMPLETED ec2-67-202-51-30.compute-1.amazonaws.com demo 3/24 s1 COMPLETED Custom Jar If you have not created any job flows in the last two days no output returns from the command. The example above shows three job flows created in the last two days. The indented lines are job flow steps. The columns for a job flow line are Job Flow Id, Job Flow State, Master Node DNS Name, and Job Flow Name. The columns for a job flow step line are Step State, and Step Name. To get more information about a specific job flow use --describe and supply the job flow id with the --jobflow parameters. $ elastic-mapreduce --describe --jobflow <job_flow_id> { "JobFlows": [ { "LogUri": null, "Name": "Development Job Flow", "ExecutionStatusDetail": { "EndDateTime": 1237948135.0, "CreationDateTime": 1237947852.0, "LastStateChangeReason": null, "State": "COMPLETED", "StartDateTime": 1237948085.0, "ReadyDateTime": 1237948085.0 }, "Steps": [], "Instances": { "Ec2KeyName": null, "InstanceCount": 1.0, "Placement": { "AvailabilityZone": "us-east-1a" }, "KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps": false, "TerminationProtected": false, "MasterInstanceType": "m1.small", "SlaveInstanceType": "m1.small", "MasterPublicDnsName": "ec2-67-202-3-73.compute-1.amazonaws.com", "MasterInstanceId": "i-39325750", "NormalizedInstanceHours": 6, "InstanceCount": 3 }, "JobFlowId": "j-3GJ4FRRNKGY97" } ] } You can also list running and starting jobs with: $ elastic-mapreduce --list --active This will list job flows that are starting, running, or shutting down. You can also list job flows that are in one of several states with: $ elastic-mapreduce --list --state RUNNING --state TERMINATED This will list job flows that are either running or terminated. === Running a Development Job Flow When developing steps for a job flow it is handy to keep a job flow running and to add steps to it. This way if the step fails you can add another step without having to incur the startup cost of a job flow. The following command will start a job flow that will continue running and consuming resources until you terminate it. $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive --log-uri s3://my-example-bucket/logs Created job flow j-36U2JMAE73054 By default, this command will launch a job flow running on a single m1.small instance using Hadoop version 0.20. Later, when you have your steps running correctly on small set of sample data, you will want to launch job flows running on more instance. You can specify the number of instance and the type of instance to run with the --num-instances and --instance-type options. The --alive option tells the job flow to keep running even when it has finished all its steps. The log-uri specifies a location in Amazon S3 for the log files from your job flow to be pushed. --alive option can be safely omitted if you have not yet created a bucket in Amazon S3. Log files are not pushed to Amazon S3 until 5 minutes after the step is complete. For debugging sessions, you will likely log onto the master node of your job flow. Specifying a log-uri is required if you want to be able to read log files from Amazon S3 after the job flow has terminated. You can use Hadoop version 0.18 by specifying the --hadoop-version option. $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive --log-uri s3://my-example-bucket/logs \ --hadoop-version "0.18" Now that your job flow is created, you can add a streaming step to the job flow. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow <j-insert your job id here> --stream Added steps to <j-insert your job id here> Default parameters are added to the streaming step. The name is set to "Example Streaming Step". The action on failure is set to "CANCEL_AND_WAIT". This means that if the step fails then subsequent steps will be cancelled and the job flow will wait for additional steps to be added before proceeding. The streaming task is a word count example written in Python and reads input from: s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input You can list the job flow to see the default parameters that have been set. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-36U2JMAE73054 --describe { "JobFlows": [{ "LogUri": null, "Name": "Example job flow", "ExecutionStatusDetail": { ... }, "Steps": [ { "StepConfig": { ... }, "ExecutionStatusDetail": { ... } } ], "Instances": { ... } }] } === Debugging a Failed Step First, add a step to the job flow that will fail. If you do not have a running job flow, look at the section on running job flows above to see how to start a job flow that will wait for you to add steps. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-36U2JMAE73054 --stream --output hdfs://examples/output Added steps to j-36U2JMAE73054 This job will fail because the HDFS path is wrong. It should have three slashes rather than two after the colon. Now log onto the master node where the job flow is running to find the log files associated with this step. If you entered a keypair and a keypair file into the credentials file you can now log onto the master node with: $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABA --ssh For this command to work, you are require to have an ssh client installed on your local computer. Most unix and linux machines have an ssh client installed. On a Windows computer you will need to install Cygwin, including the Ruby and openssh-client and execute the elastic-mapreduce client from within Cygwin. You can also use PuTTY, but this is significantly more work. See the tutorial at http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2729. Once logged into the master node where your job flow is running, you can see log files for your steps in: $ ls /mnt/var/log/hadoop/steps/ 1 $ ls /mnt/var/log/hadoop/steps/1 controller stderr stdout syslog $ cat /mnt/var/log/hadoop/steps/1/syslog 2009-03-25 18:43:27,145 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient (main): Use GenericOptionsParser for parsing the arguments. Applications should implement Tool for the same. 2009-03-25 18:43:28,828 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.streaming.StreamJob (main): Error Launching job : unknown host: examples $ exit The error from Hadoop indicates that it was trying to look for a host called examples. Look back at our request and see that the output path was set to hdfs://examples/output. This is incorrect since we want Hadoop to access the local HDFS system with the path /examples/output. We need to specify hdfs:///examples/output, as below. To fix this, specify the output of the streaming job on the command line and submit another step to our job flow. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-36U2JMAE73054 --stream --output hdfs:///examples/output Now list the job flows and watch it complete: $ elastic-mapreduce --list -n 5 j-36U2JMAE73054 WAITING ec2-67-202-20-49.compute-1.amazonaws.com Example job flow FAILED Example Streaming Step COMPLETED Example Streaming Step This time the job succeeded. We can run the job again but this time output the result to a bucket in Amazon S3. First, create a bucket in Amazon S3. Note that buckets in Amazon S3 are unique so you will need to choose a unique name for your bucket. You can create a bucket using s3cmd which is available on Debian and Ubuntu systems via apt-get, or using Amazon S3 Organizer which is a plug-in for Firefox. If you're not on a Debian or Ubuntu system then s3cmd can be downloaded from http://freshmeat.net/projects/s3cmd Amazon S3 Organizer is available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3247 To create an Amazon S3 bucket using s3cmd do the following: $ s3cmd mb s3://my-example-bucket Bucket 's3://my-example-bucket/' created Note: s3cmd requires s3 paths to be specified using the prefix s3://. Amazon Elastic MapReduce follows Hadoop’s convention which requires the prefix s3:// for files in stored in Amazon S3. Add a step to the job flow to put results into the bucket you created on S3: $ elastic-mapreduce -j j-36U2JMAE73054 --stream \ --output s3://my-example-bucket/output/1 Added steps to j-36U2JMAE73054 Note that the protocol of the output URL is s3. This tells Hadoop to use the S3 Native File System for the output location. The 'host' part of the URL is the bucket and this is followed by path. Once you've finished with your job flow, don't forget to terminate it with: $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-36U2JMAE73054 --terminate And see that it is shutting down with: $ elastic-mapreduce --list -n 5 There are other options that you can specify when creating and adding steps to job flows. Use the "--help" option to list them. You can also list the log files from the last step in your jobflow using the --logs argument. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABA --logs This command requires that you are running on a unix-like computer with access to an ssh client because it fetches the logs from the job flow. It also requires that the job flow is still running. If the job flow has shutdown then the client may hang while attempting to connect to the master node because the master node has already been shut down. ==== Enabling Hadoop Debugging The Amazon Elastic MapReduce tab in the AWS Management Console (http://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/home) has a debugging feature that provides access to Hadoop jobs, tasks, and task attempts as well as log files for steps and task attempts. Note: To use this feature you must be signed up for SimpleDB. You can sign up your account for Simple DB at http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/. Note: When enabling debugging, you must always specify a log-uri either in your credentials file, on the command line, or as an environment variable. To enable Hadoop Debugging on a job flow run your job flow with the --enable-debugging option. $ elastic-mapreduce --create \ --name "$USER's Flow with Debugging Enabled" --alive \ --log-uri s3://mybucket/logs --enable-debugging Created jobflow j-ABABABABA Make sure that you sepcified a log-uri on the command line as above or in your credentials file. This command install a component on your job flow that pushes information from Hadoop into Amazon Simple DB. Next add a job flow step to your job flow $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABA \ --stream --output hdfs:///output/1 Now you can watch the progress of our job flow in Amazon Elastic MapReduce tab of the AWS Management Console, by first selecting the job flow (click refresh if your job flow has not appeared) and then clicking the "Debug" button. ==== Adding a JAR Step To add a JAR step you should already have started a job flow. If you have not, see the "Running a Job Flow" section in this document. First start a development job flow $ elastic-mapreduce --list --active j-36U2JMAE73054 WAITING ec2-67-202-20-49.compute-1.amazonaws.com Example job flow FAILED Example Streaming Step COMPLETED Example Streaming Step COMPLETED Example Streaming Step You can add a JAR step to your job flow with: $ elastic-mapreduce --job flow j-36U2JMAE73054 \ --jar s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/cloudburst.jar \ --arg s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/input/s_suis.br \ --arg s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/cloudburst/input/100k.br \ --arg hdfs:///cloudburst/output/1 \ --arg 36 --arg 3 --arg 0 --arg 1 --arg 240 --arg 48 --arg 24 \ --arg 24 --arg 128 --arg 16 Windows Users: The Windows command-line interface does not allow multi-line commands using the “\” character. You will have to edit these multi-line examples in notepad to remove the “\” characters and the line breaks. This will run an example job flow step that downloads and runs the JAR file. The arguments are passed to the main function in the JAR file. If your JAR file doesn't have a manifest.mf specifying the main class you will need to specify the main class on the command line as: $ elastic-mapreduce -j j-36U2JMAE73054 \ --jar s3://my-example-bucket/wordcount.jar \ --main-class org.myorg.WordCount \ --arg s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input/ \ --arg hdfs:///wordcount/output/1 If your job fails then log onto the master node as explained in the section "Running a JobFlow" and look at the log files to find out why. ==== Adding a JobFlow from JSON The samples directory included in with Elastic Map Reduce Ruby Client contains several mutli-step job flows that can be run using the --json command. The json files contain variables for bucket names etc that you need to replace with your own bucket. $ elastic-mapreduce -j j-36U2JMAE73054 \ --json samples/similarity/lastfm_jobflow.json \ --param '<bucket>=my-example-bucket' This will add the job flow steps described in samples/freebase/code/freebase_jobflow.json with <bucket> replaced by my-example-bucket. === Samples The samples directory contains the following sample job flows: * LastFM Example ** Description: Calculation of Artist Similarity using data From LastFM ** URL: samples/similarity/lastfm_jobflow.json ** Parameters *** <bucket> : name of the output bucket * Freebase Example ** Description: Load popular entries from Freebase into Amazon SimpleDB ** URL: samples/freebase/code/freebase_jobflow.json ** Parameters *** <bucket> : name of the output bucket Additionally there are the following articles explaining how to use Amazon Elastic MapReduce. * Sample Job Flows http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=263 * CloudBurst Sample Job Flow http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2272 * WordCount Sample Job Flow http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2273 * Similarities Sample Job Flow http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2274 * Freebase Sample Job Flow http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=2275 === Running a Custom Jar This section assumes that you have already run a streaming jar and that you are comfortable starting and debugging job flows. ==== Compiling and Uploading a Jar First download a copy of Hadoop 0.18.3 from the Hadoop website. http://hadoop.apache.org/core/ Unpack the tar.gz archive somewhere handy like /home/name/hadoop-0.18.3 or c:\hadoop if you are running on windows. Download Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, choosing the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" version. In Eclipse, create a new Java Project. In the libraries tab of the build path settings, add all of the Hadoop JAR files from the directory where you unpacked Hadoop. Next, create a main class in your project. An example main class is available here: http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/r0.18.3/mapred_tutorial.html. You can cut and paste the WordCount v1.0 source code from the browser into Eclipse. Now get Eclipse to export a JAR file by selecting "Export" from the File Menu and then choosing Jar. Select an output location for the JAR file on your disk and click through the next several pages until you are able to specify a Main-Class in the Java manifest. Choose the main function you added in the previous step. Upload your JAR file to s3. To upload a file, you can use s3cmd which is available under Debian and Ubuntu. On Windows computers, a good option is S3 Organizer which is a Firefox plugin. For this example, I'm going to use s3cmd. You will have to select your own unique bucket name when running this example as the my-example-bucket already exists. $ s3cmd mb s3://my-example-bucket Bucket 's3://my-example-bucket/' created $ s3cmd put --force build/wordcount.jar s3://my-example-bucket/wordcount.jar Note that by default s3cmd sets the access control on the created bucket and uploaded file to private which is probably what is wanted. If you want to make your step accessible to other people, you will need to set the access control on the bucket and the file to make them readable. Now you are ready to execute a jar step on one of your job flows. If you don't have job flow running, look at the section on running a job flow to learn how to start a job flow. Remember to replace your own job flow id and the name of your own bucket in the jar name and the second --arg parameter. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-C019299B1X \ --jar s3://my-example-bucket/wordcount.jar \ --arg s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input --arg s3://my-example-bucket/output If you didn't specify the main-class in the manifest then you can specify that now on the command line with the --main-class option. $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-C019299B1X \ --jar s3://my-example-bucket/wordcount.jar \ --main-class org.myorg.WordCount \ --arg s3://elasticmapreduce/samples/wordcount/input \ --arg s3://my-example-bucket/output You can watch the job flow by listing it. $ elastic-mapreduce --list j-C019299B1X If the step fails then take a look at the section on debugging a job flow to find out how to log onto the master node and look at the logs. === Running a Pig Program Pig provides a high level data manipulation language called Pig Latin. Amazon Elastic MapReduce supports Pig version 0.3.0 See http://hadoop.apache.org/pig/ for additional details. ==== Running Pig in Interactive Mode To run a pig program in interactive mode you need to create a jobflow that will stay alive until you terminate it. $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive --name "Testing PIG -- $USER" \ --num-instances 5 --instance-type c1.large \ --hive-interactive Created jobflow j-ABABABABABAB Next ssh to the master node and run pig $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABAB --ssh ... ec2-12.13.14 $ pig grunt> You are now running Pig in interactive mode and can execute Pig Latin statements. ==== Running Pig in Batch Mode To run Pig in batch mode by adding a step to a development job flow you run: $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABA \ --pig-script --args s3://mybucket/myscript.pig Or to run a job flow that will execute a Pig script run: $ elastic-mapreduce --create \ --pig-script \ --args -p,INPUT=s3://mybucket/input,-p,OUTPUT=s3://mybucket/output \ --args s3://mybucket/myscript.pig Note that the script argument must come last, after the parameters that are passed to the script. These parameters become available within the Pig script being executed as $variable. In the above example, the script can make reference to $input and $output within Pig string literals. You can also execute multiple Pig scripts within a single job flow as $ elastic-mapreduce --create \ --pig-script --step-name "Script 1" --args s3://mybucket/myscript.pig \ --pig-script --step-name "Script 2" --args s3://mybucket/mysecondscript.pig You can also specify multiple scripts to be added to a development Job flow in the same way. === Running a Hive Program Hive is a high level data processing language quite similar to SQL but with a number of map reduce extensions. Amazon Elastic MapReduce supports Hive version 0.5 on Hadoop version 0.20 and Hive version 0.4 on Hadoop version 0.18. For both the versions of Hive, we provide additional patches that allow better integration with Amazon S3. Please note that Hive automatically defaults to 0.5 for Hadoop 0.20 and 0.4 for Hadoop 0.18. Currently Amazon Elastic MapReduce does not support specifying the Hive version. Hive 0.5 provides additional features like Percentile function, faster recovery of partitions from S3, insert query results into an s3 directory location, and reading lzo, bzip compressed input files. ==== Running Hive in Interactive Mode To run in interactive mode you need to create a job flow that will stay alive until you terminate it. $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive --name "Testing Hive -- $USER" \ --num-instances 5 --instance-type c1.large \ --hive-interactive Created jobflow j-ABABABABABAB Next ssh to the master node and run hive $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABAB --ssh ... ec2-12.13.14 $ hive hive> You are now running Hive in interactive mode and execute Hive queries. ==== Running Hive in Batch Mode To execute a Hive script stored in S3 as a part of a job flow create the Job flow with a step that executes the Hive script $ elastic-mapreduce --create \ --hive-script --args s3://mybucket/myquery.q \ --args -d,INPUT=s3://mybucket/input,-d,OUTPUT=s3://mybucket/output The --args option provides arguments to the Hive script. The first argument is the location of the script on S3. Next,the -d argument provides a method to pass values into the script. Within Hive scripts these parameters are available as ${variable}. In the above example ${INPUT} and ${OUTPUT} would be replaced with the values that were passed in. These variables are substituted as a pre-processing step and so may occur anywhere within a Hive script. You can also add a Hive script to a development job flow, for example: $ elastic-mapreduce --jobflow j-ABABABABABA \ --hive-script --args s3://mybucket/myquery.q \ --args -d,INPUT=s3://mybucket/input,-d,OUTPUT=s3://mybucket/output This is useful when developing and testing scripts as in the case where the script fails. You can add a new step to the development job flow without having to wait for a new job flow to start. === Terminating a Job Flow All job flows that have been created with the --alive option will run, consuming instance hours until they are terminated. A job flow can be terminated by specifying the job flow id. $ elastic-mapreduce --terminate --jobflow j-C019299B1X === Environment Variables The command line client accepts configuration via environment variables. The following environment variables are supported: ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_ACCESS_ID ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_PRIVATE_KEY ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_KEY_PAIR ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_KEY_PAIR_FILE ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_LOG_URI ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_REGION ELASTIC_MAPREDUCE_ENABLE_DEBUGGING The environment variables will override settings in the credentials file, but will be overridden by options passed in on the command line. === Bootstrap Actions A bootstrap action is a script that is run on all nodes of a job flow prior to Hadoop starting on that node. A job flow will fail if bootstrap action fails by returning a non-zero exit code on the master node, or on more than 10% of the slave nodes. A job flow will also fail if Hadoop fails to start on the master node after the bootstrap action has run. For example, to execute a bootstrap action, first upload your script, called action.sh, to your bucket in S3 called s3://mybucket $ s3cmd put action.sh s3://mybucket/bootstrap-actions/action.sh Next, start a job flow and specify the bootstrap action: $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive \ --name "My Boostrap Action" \ --bootstrap-action s3://mybucket/bootstrap-actions/action.sh \ --arg first-argument \ --arg second-argument Bootstrap actions may only be specified when a job flow is created. This is different to steps which may be specified for a running job flow. When creating a job flow however one may combine several bootstrap actions and job flow steps. The bootstrap actions will be executed in the order they are presented. $ BUCKET=s3://mybucket/ $ INPUT=$BUCKET/input $ OUTPUT=$BUCKET/output $ elastic-mapreduce --create \ --name "My Example Job Flow" \ --boostrap-action $BUCKET/bootstrap-actions/action.sh \ --arg hello \ --arg world \ --hive-script \ --args s3://mybucket/hive-queries/myquery.q \ --args -d,INPUT=$INPUT,-d,OUTPUT=$OUTPUT \ --bootstrap-action $BUCKET/bootstrap-actions/action.sh \ --args hello,world Note that the bootstrap actions are always executed before steps and before Hadoop is running on the node. Log files from bootstrap actions are located on each node in the directory: /mnt/var/log/bootstrap-actions/<action_number> where <action_number> is the number of the bootstrap action that was run. For example,. 1 for the first action, 2 for the second etc. The bootstrap action logs are also pushed to your LogURI if you specified one in the directory s3://<log_uri>/<jobflow_id>/node/<node_id>/bootstrap-actions/<action_number> If a bootstap action fails, then an error message containing the failure condition is located in the LastStateChangeReason field available when using --describe on the job flow that failed. === Example Bootstrap Actions This section contains a list of example bootstrap actions that are provided by Amazon Elastic MapReduce. ==== Configure Hadoop The configure-hadoop bootstrap action allows you specify Hadoop site configuration that must be set before Hadoop starts. It may be called as: $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive \ --name "My Example Jobflow" \ --bootstrap-actions s3://elasticmapreduce/bootstrap-actions/configure-hadoop --arg --site-config-file --arg s3://mybucket/config.xml --arg -s --arg mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum=2 This will merge setting from the file s3://mybucket/config.xml into the Hadoop site config file and will additionally set the value of mapred.tasktracker.map.tasks.maximum to 2 in the Hadoop site config file. For more usage information you can download the script and run it with no arguments. In this case it will output its usage information. ==== Configure Daemons The configure daemons script allows you to control the amount of memory allocated to different Hadoop daemons. It may be called as: $ elastic-mapreduce --create --alive \ --name "My Example Jobflow" \ --bootstrap-actions s3://elasticmapreduce/bootstrap-actions/configure-daemons \ --arg --namenode-heap-size=2048 \ --arg --namenode-opts=-XX:GCTimeRatio=19 \ This will set the heap size allocated to the NameNode to be 2048 megabytes and it will set the GCTimeRatio used by the java's garbage collector to be 19. For more usage information you can download the script onto an instance and run it with no arguments. In this case it will output its usage information. ==== Run-if The run-if script allows you to run another script conditionally. It may be called as: elastic-mapreduce --create --alive \ --name "My Example Jobflow" \ --bootstrap-actions s3://elasticmapreduce/bootstrap-actions/run-if --args instance.isMaster=true,s3://mybucket/myscript,hello,world This will run the script located at s3://mybucket/myscript, passing the arguments "hello" and "world" only on the master node. If myscript fails then run-if command will fail and so the job flow will fail. For more usage information, you can download the script onto an instance and run it with no arguments. In this case it will output its usage information onto screen. The first argument is a conditional that reads from one of the JSON configuration files available on every instance. The files contain information that may be useful for bootstrap action authors and with the run-if script. The file locations and their contents are listed below. When referencing files from the run-if script, you only need to specify the file name, excluding ".json". /mnt/var/lib/info/instance.json boolean isMaster boolean isRunningNameNode boolean isRunningDataNode boolean isRunningJobTracker boolean isRunningTaskTracker /mnt/var/lib/info/job-flow.json string jobFlowId long jobFlowCreationInstance integer instanceCount string masterInstanceId string masterPrivateDnsName string masterInstanceType string slaveInstanceType string hadoopVersion == Using the Ruby Client as a Library The program elastic-mapreduce is an example of how to use the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Ruby library. Most of the library is devoted to parsing command line arguments and translating them into web service calls. To use the web service directly in your Ruby programs you need: $LOAD_PATH << File.dirname(__FILE__) require 'amazon/coral/elasticmapreduceclient' config = { :endpoint => "https://elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com", :ca_file => File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "cacert.pem"), :aws_access_key => my_access_id, :aws_secret_key => my_secret_key, :signature_algorithm => :V2 } client = Amazon::Coral::ElasticMapReduceClient.new_aws_query(config) puts client.DescribeJobFlows.inspect puts client.DescribeJobFlows('JobFlowId' => 'j-ABAYAS1019012').inspect You can use the retry delegator to make your client retry if it gets connection failures. $LOAD_PATH << File.dirname(__FILE__) require 'amazon/coral/elasticmapreduceclient' require 'amazon/retry_delegator' config = { :endpoint => "https://elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com", :ca_file => File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "cacert.pem"), :aws_access_key => my_access_id, :aws_secret_key => my_secret_key, :signature_algorithm => :V2 } client = Amazon::Coral::ElasticMapReduceClient.new_aws_query(config) is_retryable_error_response = Proc.new do |response| if response == nil then false else ret = false if response['Error'] then # don't retry on 'Timeout' because the call might have succeeded ret ||= ['InternalFailure', 'Throttling', 'ServiceUnavailable'].include?(response['Error']['Code']) end ret end end client = Amazon::RetryDelegator.new(client, :retry_if => is_retryable_error_response) puts client.DescribeJobFlows.inspect puts client.DescribeJobFlows('JobFlowId' => 'j-ABAYAS1019012').inspect More information about the operations of the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Web Service is available in the technical documentation found at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/elasticmapreduce/.
