Support for running on [YARN (Hadoop
NextGen)](http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/YARN.html)
was added to Spark in version 0.6.0, and improved in subsequent releases.

# Security

Security in Spark is OFF by default. This could mean you are vulnerable to attack by default.
Please see [Spark Security](security.html) and the specific security sections in this doc before running Spark.

# Launching Spark on YARN

Ensure that `HADOOP_CONF_DIR` or `YARN_CONF_DIR` points to the directory which contains the (client side) configuration files for the Hadoop cluster.
These configs are used to write to HDFS and connect to the YARN ResourceManager. The
configuration contained in this directory will be distributed to the YARN cluster so that all
containers used by the application use the same configuration. If the configuration references
Java system properties or environment variables not managed by YARN, they should also be set in the
Spark application's configuration (driver, executors, and the AM when running in client mode).

There are two deploy modes that can be used to launch Spark applications on YARN. In `cluster` mode, the Spark driver runs inside an application master process which is managed by YARN on the cluster, and the client can go away after initiating the application. In `client` mode, the driver runs in the client process, and the application master is only used for requesting resources from YARN.

Unlike other cluster managers supported by Spark in which the master's address is specified in the `--master`
parameter, in YARN mode the ResourceManager's address is picked up from the Hadoop configuration.
Thus, the `--master` parameter is `yarn`.

To launch a Spark application in `cluster` mode:

    $ ./bin/spark-submit --class path.to.your.Class --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster [options] <app jar> [app options]

For example:

    $ ./bin/spark-submit --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
        --master yarn \
        --deploy-mode cluster \
        --driver-memory 4g \
        --executor-memory 2g \
        --executor-cores 1 \
        --queue thequeue \
        examples/jars/spark-examples*.jar \
        10

The above starts a YARN client program which starts the default Application Master. Then SparkPi will be run as a child thread of Application Master. The client will periodically poll the Application Master for status updates and display them in the console. The client will exit once your application has finished running.  Refer to the "Debugging your Application" section below for how to see driver and executor logs.

To launch a Spark application in `client` mode, do the same, but replace `cluster` with `client`. The following shows how you can run `spark-shell` in `client` mode:

    $ ./bin/spark-shell --master yarn --deploy-mode client

## Adding Other JARs

In `cluster` mode, the driver runs on a different machine than the client, so `SparkContext.addJar` won't work out of the box with files that are local to the client. To make files on the client available to `SparkContext.addJar`, include them with the `--jars` option in the launch command.

    $ ./bin/spark-submit --class my.main.Class \
        --master yarn \
        --deploy-mode cluster \
        --jars my-other-jar.jar,my-other-other-jar.jar \
        my-main-jar.jar \
        app_arg1 app_arg2


# Preparations

Running Spark on YARN requires a binary distribution of Spark which is built with YARN support.
Binary distributions can be downloaded from the [downloads page](https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html) of the project website.
To build Spark yourself, refer to [Building Spark](building-spark.html).

To make Spark runtime jars accessible from YARN side, you can specify `spark.yarn.archive` or `spark.yarn.jars`. For details please refer to [Spark Properties](running-on-yarn.html#spark-properties). If neither `spark.yarn.archive` nor `spark.yarn.jars` is specified, Spark will create a zip file with all jars under `$SPARK_HOME/jars` and upload it to the distributed cache.

# Configuration

Most of the configs are the same for Spark on YARN as for other deployment modes. See the [configuration page](configuration.html) for more information on those.  These are configs that are specific to Spark on YARN.

# Debugging your Application

In YARN terminology, executors and application masters run inside "containers". YARN has two modes for handling container logs after an application has completed. If log aggregation is turned on (with the `yarn.log-aggregation-enable` config), container logs are copied to HDFS and deleted on the local machine. These logs can be viewed from anywhere on the cluster with the `yarn logs` command.

    yarn logs -applicationId <app ID>

will print out the contents of all log files from all containers from the given application. You can also view the container log files directly in HDFS using the HDFS shell or API. The directory where they are located can be found by looking at your YARN configs (`yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir` and `yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir-suffix`). The logs are also available on the Spark Web UI under the Executors Tab. You need to have both the Spark history server and the MapReduce history server running and configure `yarn.log.server.url` in `yarn-site.xml` properly. The log URL on the Spark history server UI will redirect you to the MapReduce history server to show the aggregated logs.

When log aggregation isn't turned on, logs are retained locally on each machine under `YARN_APP_LOGS_DIR`, which is usually configured to `/tmp/logs` or `$HADOOP_HOME/logs/userlogs` depending on the Hadoop version and installation. Viewing logs for a container requires going to the host that contains them and looking in this directory.  Subdirectories organize log files by application ID and container ID. The logs are also available on the Spark Web UI under the Executors Tab and doesn't require running the MapReduce history server.

To review per-container launch environment, increase `yarn.nodemanager.delete.debug-delay-sec` to a
large value (e.g. `36000`), and then access the application cache through `yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs`
on the nodes on which containers are launched. This directory contains the launch script, JARs, and
all environment variables used for launching each container. This process is useful for debugging
classpath problems in particular. (Note that enabling this requires admin privileges on cluster
settings and a restart of all node managers. Thus, this is not applicable to hosted clusters).

To use a custom log4j configuration for the application master or executors, here are the options:

- upload a custom `log4j.properties` using `spark-submit`, by adding it to the `--files` list of files
  to be uploaded with the application.
- add `-Dlog4j.configuration=<location of configuration file>` to `spark.driver.extraJavaOptions`
  (for the driver) or `spark.executor.extraJavaOptions` (for executors). Note that if using a file,
  the `file:` protocol should be explicitly provided, and the file needs to exist locally on all
  the nodes.
- update the `$SPARK_CONF_DIR/log4j.properties` file and it will be automatically uploaded along
  with the other configurations. Note that other 2 options has higher priority than this option if
  multiple options are specified.

Note that for the first option, both executors and the application master will share the same
log4j configuration, which may cause issues when they run on the same node (e.g. trying to write
to the same log file).

If you need a reference to the proper location to put log files in the YARN so that YARN can properly display and aggregate them, use `spark.yarn.app.container.log.dir` in your `log4j.properties`. For example, `log4j.appender.file_appender.File=${spark.yarn.app.container.log.dir}/spark.log`. For streaming applications, configuring `RollingFileAppender` and setting file location to YARN's log directory will avoid disk overflow caused by large log files, and logs can be accessed using YARN's log utility.

To use a custom metrics.properties for the application master and executors, update the `$SPARK_CONF_DIR/metrics.properties` file. It will automatically be uploaded with other configurations, so you don't need to specify it manually with `--files`.

For example, suppose you would like to point log url link to Job History Server directly instead of let NodeManager http server redirects it, you can configure `spark.history.custom.executor.log.url` as below:

 `{{HTTP_SCHEME}}<JHS_HOST>:<JHS_PORT>/jobhistory/logs/{{NM_HOST}}:{{NM_PORT}}/{{CONTAINER_ID}}/{{CONTAINER_ID}}/{{USER}}/{{FILE_NAME}}?start=-4096`

 NOTE: you need to replace `<JHS_POST>` and `<JHS_PORT>` with actual value.

# Resource Allocation and Configuration Overview

Please make sure to have read the Custom Resource Scheduling and Configuration Overview section on the [configuration page](configuration.html). This section only talks about the YARN specific aspects of resource scheduling.

YARN needs to be configured to support any resources the user wants to use with Spark. Resource scheduling on YARN was added in YARN 3.1.0. See the YARN documentation for more information on configuring resources and properly setting up isolation. Ideally the resources are setup isolated so that an executor can only see the resources it was allocated. If you do not have isolation enabled, the user is responsible for creating a discovery script that ensures the resource is not shared between executors.

YARN currently supports any user defined resource type but has built in types for GPU (<code>yarn.io/gpu</code>) and FPGA (<code>yarn.io/fpga</code>). For that reason, if you are using either of those resources, Spark can translate your request for spark resources into YARN resources and you only have to specify the <code>spark.{driver/executor}.resource.</code> configs. If you are using a resource other then FPGA or GPU, the user is responsible for specifying the configs for both YARN (<code>spark.yarn.{driver/executor}.resource.</code>) and Spark (<code>spark.{driver/executor}.resource.</code>).

For example, the user wants to request 2 GPUs for each executor. The user can just specify <code>spark.executor.resource.gpu.amount=2</code> and Spark will handle requesting <code>yarn.io/gpu</code> resource type from YARN.

If the user has a user defined YARN resource, lets call it `acceleratorX` then the user must specify <code>spark.yarn.executor.resource.acceleratorX.amount=2</code> and <code>spark.executor.resource.acceleratorX.amount=2</code>.

YARN does not tell Spark the addresses of the resources allocated to each container. For that reason, the user must specify a discovery script that gets run by the executor on startup to discover what resources are available to that executor. You can find an example scripts in `examples/src/main/scripts/getGpusResources.sh`. The script must have execute permissions set and the user should setup permissions to not allow malicious users to modify it. The script should write to STDOUT a JSON string in the format of the ResourceInformation class. This has the resource name and an array of resource addresses available to just that executor.

# Important notes

- Whether core requests are honored in scheduling decisions depends on which scheduler is in use and how it is configured.
- In `cluster` mode, the local directories used by the Spark executors and the Spark driver will be the local directories configured for YARN (Hadoop YARN config `yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs`). If the user specifies `spark.local.dir`, it will be ignored. In `client` mode, the Spark executors will use the local directories configured for YARN while the Spark driver will use those defined in `spark.local.dir`. This is because the Spark driver does not run on the YARN cluster in `client` mode, only the Spark executors do.
- The `--files` and `--archives` options support specifying file names with the # similar to Hadoop. For example, you can specify: `--files localtest.txt#appSees.txt` and this will upload the file you have locally named `localtest.txt` into HDFS but this will be linked to by the name `appSees.txt`, and your application should use the name as `appSees.txt` to reference it when running on YARN.
- The `--jars` option allows the `SparkContext.addJar` function to work if you are using it with local files and running in `cluster` mode. It does not need to be used if you are using it with HDFS, HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP files.

# Kerberos

Standard Kerberos support in Spark is covered in the [Security](security.html#kerberos) page.

In YARN mode, when accessing Hadoop file systems, aside from the default file system in the hadoop
configuration, Spark will also automatically obtain delegation tokens for the service hosting the
staging directory of the Spark application.

## YARN-specific Kerberos Configuration

<table class="table">
<tr><th>Property Name</th><th>Default</th><th>Meaning</th><th>Since Version</th></tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>spark.kerberos.keytab</code></td>
  <td>(none)</td>
  <td>
  The full path to the file that contains the keytab for the principal specified above. This keytab
  will be copied to the node running the YARN Application Master via the YARN Distributed Cache, and
  will be used for renewing the login tickets and the delegation tokens periodically. Equivalent to
  the <code>--keytab</code> command line argument.

  <br /> (Works also with the "local" master.)
  </td>
  <td>3.0.0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>spark.kerberos.principal</code></td>
  <td>(none)</td>
  <td>
  Principal to be used to login to KDC, while running on secure clusters. Equivalent to the
  <code>--principal</code> command line argument.

  <br /> (Works also with the "local" master.)
  </td>
  <td>3.0.0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>spark.yarn.kerberos.relogin.period</code></td>
  <td>1m</td>
  <td>
  How often to check whether the kerberos TGT should be renewed. This should be set to a value
  that is shorter than the TGT renewal period (or the TGT lifetime if TGT renewal is not enabled).
  The default value should be enough for most deployments.
  </td>
  <td>2.3.0</td>
</tr>

## Troubleshooting Kerberos

Debugging Hadoop/Kerberos problems can be "difficult". One useful technique is to
enable extra logging of Kerberos operations in Hadoop by setting the `HADOOP_JAAS_DEBUG`
environment variable.

```bash
export HADOOP_JAAS_DEBUG=true
```

The JDK classes can be configured to enable extra logging of their Kerberos and
SPNEGO/REST authentication via the system properties `sun.security.krb5.debug`
and `sun.security.spnego.debug=true`

```
-Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true -Dsun.security.spnego.debug=true
```

All these options can be enabled in the Application Master:

```
spark.yarn.appMasterEnv.HADOOP_JAAS_DEBUG true
spark.yarn.am.extraJavaOptions -Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true -Dsun.security.spnego.debug=true
```

Finally, if the log level for `org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.Client` is set to `DEBUG`, the log
will include a list of all tokens obtained, and their expiry details


# Configuring the External Shuffle Service

To start the Spark Shuffle Service on each `NodeManager` in your YARN cluster, follow these
instructions:

1. Build Spark with the [YARN profile](building-spark.html). Skip this step if you are using a
pre-packaged distribution.
1. Locate the `spark-<version>-yarn-shuffle.jar`. This should be under
`$SPARK_HOME/common/network-yarn/target/scala-<version>` if you are building Spark yourself, and under
`yarn` if you are using a distribution.
1. Add this jar to the classpath of all `NodeManager`s in your cluster.
1. In the `yarn-site.xml` on each node, add `spark_shuffle` to `yarn.nodemanager.aux-services`,
then set `yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.spark_shuffle.class` to
`org.apache.spark.network.yarn.YarnShuffleService`.
1. Increase `NodeManager's` heap size by setting `YARN_HEAPSIZE` (1000 by default) in `etc/hadoop/yarn-env.sh`
to avoid garbage collection issues during shuffle.
1. Restart all `NodeManager`s in your cluster.

The following extra configuration options are available when the shuffle service is running on YARN:

<table class="table">
<tr><th>Property Name</th><th>Default</th><th>Meaning</th></tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>spark.yarn.shuffle.stopOnFailure</code></td>
  <td><code>false</code></td>
  <td>
    Whether to stop the NodeManager when there's a failure in the Spark Shuffle Service's
    initialization. This prevents application failures caused by running containers on
    NodeManagers where the Spark Shuffle Service is not running.
  </td>
</tr>

# Launching your application with Apache Oozie

Apache Oozie can launch Spark applications as part of a workflow.
In a secure cluster, the launched application will need the relevant tokens to access the cluster's
services. If Spark is launched with a keytab, this is automatic.
However, if Spark is to be launched without a keytab, the responsibility for setting up security
must be handed over to Oozie.

The details of configuring Oozie for secure clusters and obtaining
credentials for a job can be found on the [Oozie web site](http://oozie.apache.org/)
in the "Authentication" section of the specific release's documentation.

For Spark applications, the Oozie workflow must be set up for Oozie to request all tokens which
the application needs, including:

- The YARN resource manager.
- The local Hadoop filesystem.
- Any remote Hadoop filesystems used as a source or destination of I/O.
- Hive —if used.
- HBase —if used.
- The YARN timeline server, if the application interacts with this.

To avoid Spark attempting —and then failing— to obtain Hive, HBase and remote HDFS tokens,
the Spark configuration must be set to disable token collection for the services.

The Spark configuration must include the lines:

```
spark.security.credentials.hive.enabled   false
spark.security.credentials.hbase.enabled  false
```

The configuration option `spark.kerberos.access.hadoopFileSystems` must be unset.

# Using the Spark History Server to replace the Spark Web UI

It is possible to use the Spark History Server application page as the tracking URL for running
applications when the application UI is disabled. This may be desirable on secure clusters, or to
reduce the memory usage of the Spark driver. To set up tracking through the Spark History Server,
do the following:

- On the application side, set <code>spark.yarn.historyServer.allowTracking=true</code> in Spark's
  configuration. This will tell Spark to use the history server's URL as the tracking URL if
  the application's UI is disabled.
- On the Spark History Server, add <code>org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.YarnProxyRedirectFilter</code>
  to the list of filters in the <code>spark.ui.filters</code> configuration.

Be aware that the history server information may not be up-to-date with the application's state.
