spark-ec2

This repository contains the set of scripts used to setup a Spark cluster on EC2. These scripts are intended to be used by the default Spark AMI and is not expected to work on other AMIs. If you wish to start a cluster using Spark, please refer to http://spark-project.org/docs/latest/ec2-scripts.html

Details

The Spark cluster setup is guided by the values set in ec2-variables.sh.setup.sh first performs basic operations like enabling ssh across machines, mounting ephemeral drives and also creates files named /root/spark-ec2/masters, and /root/spark-ec2/slaves. Following that every module listed in MODULES is initialized.

To add a new module, you will need to do the following:

a. Create a directory with the module's name

b. Optionally add a file named init.sh. This is called before templates are configured and can be used to install any pre-requisites.

c. Add any files that need to be configured based on the cluster setup to templates/. The path of the file determines where the configured file will be copied to. Right now the set of variables that can be used in a template are

  {{master_list}}
  {{active_master}}
  {{slave_list}}
  {{zoo_list}}
  {{cluster_url}}
  {{hdfs_data_dirs}}
  {{mapred_local_dirs}}
  {{spark_local_dirs}}
  {{default_spark_mem}}

You can add new variables by modifying deploy_templates.py

d. Add a file named setup.sh to launch any services on the master/slaves. This is called after the templates have been configured. You can use the environment variables $SLAVES to get a list of slave hostnames and /root/spark-ec2/copy-dir to sync a directory across machines.

e. Modify https://github.com/mesos/spark/blob/master/ec2/spark_ec2.py to add your module to the list of enabled modules.
