Spark-cloud is a set of scripts for starting spark clusters on ec2

Warning

spark-cloud is Alpha quality pre-relase software, you are using it at your own risk. Always check that your clusters have properly started/stopped.

spark-cloud will currently only work in us-east AWS zone, support for other zones coming very soon!

Cluster Security

Spark-cloud relies on ip level security for access to web UIs, you should specify --authorized-address=your.ip.address/32 when running the real cluster.

At the moment the auto-scaling group will start with 2 slaves, the minimum will be 2 slaves and the maximum 8.

Example usage

To launch a cluster into VPC

# set credentials
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=..
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
# start cluster
./spark-cloud.py -k keypair --vpc-id=vpc-XXXXX --subnet-id=subnet-XXXXXX --zone=us-east-1a launch sparkcluster1

To launch a cluster into EC2-classic

# set credentials
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=..
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
# start cluster
./spark-cloud.py -k keypair --zone=us-east-1e launch spark-ec2classic

To ssh into your cluster and run the spark shell

To ssh in

ssh -i path-to-keypair.pem ubuntu@master-host-which-is-helpfully-printed-at-launch

To run spark-shell you can't use --master yarn-client. The master URL will be of the form spark://host:port it can be found by opening up the spark UI (which is helpfully printed at launch time).

To run spark-shell just:

spark-shell

Termination

Has a couple of issues in case it does not work just rerun the "destroy" command.
