I have been of late trying out apache spark. My question is more specific to trigger spark jobs. Here I had posted question on understanding spark jobs. After getting dirty on jobs I moved on to my requirement.
I have a REST end point where I expose API to trigger Jobs, I have used Spring4.0 for Rest Implementation. Now going ahead I thought of implementing Jobs as Service in Spring where I would submit Job programmatically, meaning when the endpoint is triggered, with given parameters I would trigger the job. I have now few design options.
Similar to the below written job, I need to maintain several Jobs called by a Abstract Class may be JobScheduler .
/*Can this Code be abstracted from the application and written as
as a seperate job. Because my understanding is that the
Application code itself has to have the addJars embedded
which internally sparkContext takes care.*/
SparkConf sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("MyApp").setJars(
new String[] { "/path/to/jar/submit/cluster" })
.setMaster("/url/of/master/node");
sparkConf.setSparkHome("/path/to/spark/");
sparkConf.set("spark.scheduler.mode", "FAIR");
JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(sparkConf);
sc.setLocalProperty("spark.scheduler.pool", "test");
// Application with Algorithm , transformations
extending above point have multiple versions of jobs handled by service.
Or else use an Spark Job Server to do this.
Firstly, I would like to know what is the best solution in this case, execution wise and also scaling wise.
Note : I am using a standalone cluster from spark. kindly help.
Just use the Spark JobServer https://github.com/spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver
There are a lot of things to consider with making a service, and the Spark JobServer has most of them covered already. If you find things that aren't good enough, it should be easy to make a request and add code to their system rather than reinventing it from scratch
