Provision Spark on Amazon EC2

Update: There is work in progress to update the installed versions in

• https://github.com/sul-dlss/spark-ec2/ - branch spark-2.2.0

For some detailed instructions on doing it by-hand:

• https://sparkour.urizone.net/recipes/installing-ec2/
  • https://sparkour.urizone.net/recipes/spark-ec2/#03
• http://blog.insightdatalabs.com/spark-cluster-step-by-step/
• if we need hadoop, this might help (hadoop 2.6 on ubuntu 14.04):
  • http://www.bogotobogo.com/Hadoop/BigData_hadoop_Install_on_ubuntu_single_node_cluster.php

Also looking for puppet recipes and deployment management, e.g.

• https://github.com/adobe-research/spark-cluster-deployment
• For running spark on mesos
  • https://github.com/deric/puppet-mesos
  • https://github.com/deric/puppet-zookeeper
  • https://github.com/garethr/garethr-docker

One of the guys from code4lib-norcal recently recommended using terraform, e.g.

• https://github.com/hashicorp/atlas-examples/tree/master/spark

An ld4p-spark cluser can be created using:

git clone [email protected]:amplab/spark-ec2.git
cd spark-ec2
git checkout branch-2.0
./spark-ec2 --key-pair=ld4p --identity-file=ld4p.pem --region=us-west-2 --master-instance-type=m1.small --instance-type=m1.medium launch ld4p-spark

By default, it installs:

• http://s3.amazonaws.com/spark-related-packages/scala-2.10.3.tgz
• http://s3.amazonaws.com/spark-related-packages/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.4.tgz
• http://s3.amazonaws.com/spark-related-packages/hadoop-2.4.0.tar.gz
• http://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-rhel-0.99.446-x86_64.rpm

It should complete with something like:

Connection to ec2-52-41-0-58.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com closed.
Spark standalone cluster started at http://ec2-52-41-0-58.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080
Ganglia started at http://ec2-52-41-0-58.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:5080/ganglia
Done!

Login

./spark-ec2 -k ld4p -i ld4p.pem -r us-west-2 login ld4p-spark
