pass custom exitcode from yarn-cluster mode spark to CLI - apache-spark

I started a yarn cluster mode spark job through spark-submit.
To indicate partial failure etc I want to pass exitcode from driver to script calling spark-submit.
I tried both, System.exit and throwing SparkUserAppException in driver, but in both cases CLI only got 1, not what exitcode I passed.
I think it is impossible to pass custom exitcode, since any exitcode passed by driver will be converted to yarn status and yarn will convert any failed exitCode to 1 or failed.

By looking at spark code, I can conclude this:
It is possible in client mode. Look at runMain() method of SparkSubmit class
Whereas in cluster mode, it is not possible to get the exit status of the driver because your driver class will be running in one of the executors.
There an alternate solution that might/might not be suitable for your use case:
Host a REST API with an endpoint to receive the status update from your driver code. In the case of any exceptions, let your driver code use this endpoint to update the status.

You can save the exit code in the output file (on HDFS or local FS) and make your script wait for this file appearance, read and proceed. This is definitely is not an elegant way, but it may help you to proceed.
When saving file, pay attention to the permissions to this location. Your spark process has to have RW access.

Instrumenting Spark JDBC with javaagent

I am attempting to instrument JDBC calls using the Kamon JDBC Kanela agent in my Spark app.
I am able to successfully instrument JDBC calls in a non-spark test app by passing in -javaagent:kanela-agent-1.0.1.jar on the command line when I run the app from the JAR. When I do this, I see the Kanela banner display in the console, and can see that my failed statement processor is getting called when there is a SQL error.
From my research, I should be able to inject a javaagent into the executor of a Spark app by passing in the following to spark-submit: --conf "spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-javaagent:kanela-agent-1.0.1.jar". However, when I do this, although the Kamon banner IS displaying on the console upon my call to Kamon.init(), my failed statement processor is NOT getting called when there is a SQL error.
Things I'm wondering:
Is there something about the way that spark-jdbc makes these JDBC calls that would prevent a javaagent from "seeing" them?
Does my call to Kamon.init() somehow only apply to code in the Spark driver, and not the executor?
Any other reason that you can think of that would be preventing this from working?

How to get spark SUBMISSION_ID with spark-submit?

Many places need SUBMISSION_ID, like spark-submit --status and Spark REST API. But how can I get this SUBMISSION_ID when I use spark-submit command to submit spark jobs?
P.S.:
I use python [popen][2] to start a spark-submit job. I want SUBMISSION_ID so my python program can monitor spark job status via REST API: <ip>:6066/v1/submissions/status/<SUBMISSION_ID>
Thanks to the clue by #Pandey. The answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/37980813/5634636 helps me a lot.
TL;DR
If you want to submit spark job locally, the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/37980813/5634636 indeed works.
The only point is you must use cluster mode to submit your job,
i.e., use parameter --deploy-mode cluster.
If you want to submit a spark job remotely, use Spark submission API. It will help a lot. See https://www.nitendragautam.com/spark/submit-apache-spark-job-with-rest-api/ for details.
Detailed description
NOTE: I only test my approaches on Apache Spark 2.3.1. I can't guarantee that it will work in other versions as well.
Let's clear my requirement first. There're 3 features I wanted:
remote submit a spark job
check job status anytime (RUNNING, ERROR, FINISHED...)
get the error message if there is something error
Submit locally
NOTE: this answer only works in cluster mode
The Spark tool spark-submit will help.
To submit a job, see
https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/submitting-applications.html#launching-applications-with-spark-submit
To check the status, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/37420931/5634636. In this way, you need a SubmissionID. This answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/37980813/5634636 told you how to get a submission id in cluster mode. The submission id looks like driver-20190315142356-0004.
The error message is included in the job status message.
Submit remotely
Spark submission API is recommended. It seems that there is not any documentation on Apache Spark official website, so some people call it hidden API. For details, see: https://www.nitendragautam.com/spark/submit-apache-spark-job-with-rest-api/
To submit Spark job, use submit API
To get the status of the job, use status API: http://<master-ip>:6066/v1/submissions/status/<submission-id>. The submission-id will be returned in a json when you submit jobs.
The error message is included in the status message.
More about the error message: note the difference between status ERROR and FAILED. In short, the FAILED means that there is something wrong during executing Spark jobs (e.g. uncaught exceptions), while the ERROR means there's something error during submitting (e.g. invalid jar path). The error message is included in the status json. If you want to view the FAILED reason, it can be accessed via http://<driver-ip>:<ui-port>/log/<submission-id>.
Here is an example of error status (**** is an incorrect jar path which is miswritten intentionally):
{
"action" : "SubmissionStatusResponse",
"driverState" : "ERROR",
"message" : "Exception from the cluster:\njava.io.FileNotFoundException: File hdfs:**** does not exist.\n\torg.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.listStatusInternal(DistributedFileSystem.java:795)\n\torg.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.access$700(DistributedFileSystem.java:106)\n\torg.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem$18.doCall(DistributedFileSystem.java:853)\n\torg.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem$18.doCall(DistributedFileSystem.java:849)\n\torg.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystemLinkResolver.resolve(FileSystemLinkResolver.java:81)\n\torg.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.listStatus(DistributedFileSystem.java:860)\n\torg.apache.spark.util.Utils$.fetchHcfsFile(Utils.scala:727)\n\torg.apache.spark.util.Utils$.doFetchFile(Utils.scala:695)\n\torg.apache.spark.util.Utils$.fetchFile(Utils.scala:488)\n\torg.apache.spark.deploy.worker.DriverRunner.downloadUserJar(DriverRunner.scala:155)\n\torg.apache.spark.deploy.worker.DriverRunner.prepareAndRunDriver(DriverRunner.scala:173)\n\torg.apache.spark.deploy.worker.DriverRunner$$anon$1.run(DriverRunner.scala:92)",

Unable to gracefully finish an Airflow DAG

I have a spark-streaming job that runs on EMR, scheduled by Airflow. We want to gracefully terminate this EMR cluster every week.
But when I issue the kill or SIGTERM signal to the running spark-streaming application it is reporting as "failed" task in the Airflow DAG. This is preventing the DAG to move further, preventing the next run from triggering.
Is there any way either to kill the running spark-streaming app to mark success or to let the DAG complete even though it sees the task as failed?
Is there any way either to kill the running spark-streaming app to mark success or to let the DAG complete even though it sees the task as failed?
For the first part, can you share your code that kills the Spark app? I think you should be able to have this task return success and have everything downstream "just work".
I'm not too familiar with EMR, but looking at the docs it looks like "job flow" is their name for the Spark cluster. In that case, are you using the built-in EmrTerminateJobFlowOperator?
I wonder if the failed task is the cluster terminating propagating back an error code or something? Also, is it possible that the cluster is failing to terminate and your code is raising an exception leading to a failed task?
To answer the second part, if you have multiple upstream tasks, you can use an alternate trigger rule on the operator to determine which downstream tasks run.
class TriggerRule(object):
ALL_SUCCESS = 'all_success'
ALL_FAILED = 'all_failed'
ALL_DONE = 'all_done'
ONE_SUCCESS = 'one_success'
ONE_FAILED = 'one_failed'
DUMMY = 'dummy'

spark-submit in cluster deploy mode get application id to console

I am stuck in one problem which I need to resolve quickly. I have gone through many posts and tutorial about spark cluster deploy mode, but I am clueless about the approach as I am stuck for some days.
My use-case :- I have lots of spark jobs submitted using 'spark2-submit' command and I need to get the application id printed in the console once they are submitted. The spark jobs are submitted using cluster deploy mode. ( In normal client mode , its getting printed )
Points I need to consider while creating solution :- I am not supposed to change code ( as it would take long time, cause there are many applications running ), I can only provide log4j properties or some custom coding.
My approach:-
1) I have tried changing the log4j levels and various log4j parameters but the logging still goes to the centralized log directory.
Part from my log4j.properties:-
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.scheduler.cluster.YarnClusterSchedulerBackend=ALL,console
log4j.appender.org.apache.spark.scheduler.cluster.YarnClusterSchedulerBackend.Target=System.out
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit=ALL
log4j.appender.org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit=console
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit=TRACE,console
log4j.additivity.org.apache.spark.deploy.SparkSubmit=false
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.Client=ALL
log4j.appender.org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.Client=console
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.SparkContext=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler=INFO,console
log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client=ALL
2) I have also tried to add custom listener and I am able to get the spark application id after the applications finishes , but not to console.
Code logic :-
public void onApplicationEnd(SparkListenerApplicationEnd arg0)
{
for (Thread t : Thread.getAllStackTraces().keySet())
{
if (t.getName().equals("main"))
{
System.out.println("The current state : "+t.getState());
Configuration config = new Configuration();
ApplicationId appId = ConverterUtils.toApplicationId(getjobUId);
// some logic to write to communicate with the main thread to print the app id to console.
}
}
}
3) I have enabled the spark.eventLog to true and specified a directory in HDFS to write the event logs from spark-submit command .
If anyone could help me in finding an approach to the solution, it would be really helpful. Or if I am doing something very wrong, any insights would help me.
Thanks.
After being stuck at the same place for some days, I was finally able to get a solution to my problem.
After going through the Spark Code for the cluster deploy mode and some blogs, few things got clear. It might help someone else looking to achieve the same result.
In cluster deploy mode, the job is submitted via a Client thread from the machine from which the user is submitting. Actually I was passing the log4j configs to the driver and executors, but missed out on the part that the log 4j configs for the "Client" was missing.
So we need to use :-
SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTS="-Dlog4j.debug=true -Dlog4j.configuration=<location>/log4j.properties" spark-submit <rest of the parameters>
To clarify:
client mode means the Spark driver is running on the same machine you ran spark submit from
cluster mode means the Spark driver is running out on the cluster somewhere
You mentioned that it is getting logged when you run the app in client mode and you can see it in the console. Your output is also getting logged when you run in cluster mode you just can't see it because it is running on a different machine.
Some ideas:
Aggregate the logs from the worker nodes into one place where you can parse them to get the app ID.
Write the appIDs to some shared location like HDFS or a database. You might be able to use a Log4j appender if you want to keep log4j.

Stopping a Running Spark Application

I'm running a Spark cluster in standalone mode.
I've submitted a Spark application in cluster mode using options:
--deploy-mode cluster –supervise
So that the job is fault tolerant.
Now I need to keep the cluster running but stop the application from running.
Things I have tried:
Stopping the cluster and restarting it. But the application resumes
execution when I do that.
Used Kill -9 of a daemon named DriverWrapper but the job resumes again after that.
I've also removed temporary files and directories and restarted the cluster but the job resumes again.
So the running application is really fault tolerant.
Question:
Based on the above scenario can someone suggest how I can stop the job from running or what else I can try to stop the application from running but keep the cluster running.
Something just accrued to me, if I call sparkContext.stop() that should do it but that requires a bit of work in the code which is OK but can you suggest any other way without code change.
If you wish to kill an application that is failing repeatedly, you may do so through:
./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.Client kill <master url> <driver ID>
You can find the driver ID through the standalone Master web UI at http://:8080.
From Spark Doc
Revisiting this because I wasn't able to use the existing answer without debugging a few things.
My goal was to programmatically kill a driver that runs persistently once a day, deploy any updates to the code, then restart it. So I won't know ahead of time what my driver ID is. It took me some time to figure out that you can only kill the drivers if you submitted your driver with the --deploy-mode cluster option. It also took me some time to realize that there was a difference between application ID and driver ID, and while you can easily correlate an application name with an application ID, I have yet to find a way to divine the driver ID through their api endpoints and correlate that to either an application name or the class you are running. So while run-class org.apache.spark.deploy.Client kill <master url> <driver ID> works, you need to make sure you are deploying your driver in cluster mode and are using the driver ID and not the application ID.
Additionally, there is a submission endpoint that spark provides by default at http://<spark master>:6066/v1/submissions and you can use http://<spark master>:6066/v1/submissions/kill/<driver ID> to kill your driver.
Since I wasn't able to find the driver ID that correlated to a specific job from any api endpoint, I wrote a python web scraper to get the info from the basic spark master web page at port 8080 then kill it using the endpoint at port 6066. I'd prefer to get this data in a supported way, but this is the best solution I could find.
