• Executor plugins implement the org.apache.spark.ExecutorPlugin interface and can be used to run code at the startup of Spark executors. This feature is available in Spark 2.4.x. It can be useful for extending monitoring and configuration. Use as in the following example:

  /bin/spark-shell --master yarn --jars <path>/sparkexecutorplugins_2.11-0.1.jar \
  --conf spark.executor.plugins=ch.cern.ExecutorPluginJava.RunOSCommandPlugin 
  

Plugin code examples

This repo contains a list of example plugin classes, written in Scala and Java. Both languages work for this task, it is mostly a matter of taste.

• Scala

  • DemoPlugin -> basic plugin for testing

• Java

  • DemoPlugin -> basic plugin for testing
  • RunOSCommandPlugin -> plugin demonstrating how to run OS commands at executor startup
