emrrunner 1.0.7

A powerful CLI tool and API for managing Spark jobs on Amazon EMR clusters

EMRRunner : EMR Job Runner

A powerful command-line tool and API for managing and deploying Spark jobs on Amazon EMR clusters. EMRRunner simplifies the process of submitting and managing Spark jobs while handling all the necessary environment setup.

🚀 Features

• Command-line interface for quick job submission
• RESTful API for programmatic access
• Support for both client and cluster deploy modes
• Automatic S3 synchronization of job files
• Configurable job parameters
• Easy dependency management
• Bootstrap action support for cluster setup

📋 Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• AWS Account with EMR access
• Configured AWS credentials
• Active EMR cluster

🛠️ Installation

From PyPI

pip install emrrunner

From Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/EMRRunner.git
cd EMRRunner

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .\venv\Scripts\activate

# Install the package
pip install -e .

⚙️ Configuration

AWS Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root with your AWS configuration:

Note: Export these variables in your terminal before running:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key
AWS_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key
AWS_REGION=your_region
EMR_CLUSTER_ID=your_cluster_id
S3_PATH=s3://your-bucket/path

Bootstrap Actions

For EMR cluster setup with required dependencies, create a bootstrap script (bootstrap.sh):

#!/bin/bash -xe

# Example structure of a bootstrap script
# Create and activate virtual environment
python3 -m venv /home/hadoop/myenv
source /home/hadoop/myenv/bin/activate

# Install system dependencies
sudo yum install python3-pip -y
sudo yum install -y [your-system-packages]

# Install Python packages
pip3 install [your-required-packages]

deactivate

Upload the bootstrap script to S3 and reference it in your EMR cluster configuration.

📦 S3 Job Structure

The S3_PATH in your configuration should point to a bucket with the following structure:

s3://your-bucket/
├── jobs/
│   ├── job1/
│   │   ├── dependencies.py   # Shared functions and utilities
│   │   └── job.py           # Main job execution script
│   └── job2/
│       ├── dependencies.py
│       └── job.py
└── common/
    └── shared_utils.py      # Cross-job shared utilities

Job Organization

Each job in the S3 bucket follows a standard structure:

1. dependencies.py

   • Contains reusable functions and utilities specific to the job
   • Example functions:

     def process_data(df):
         # Data processing logic
         pass
     
     def validate_input(data):
         # Input validation logic
         pass
     
     def transform_output(result):
         # Output transformation logic
         pass
     

2. job.py

   • Main execution script that uses functions from dependencies.py
   • Standard structure:

     from dependencies import process_data, validate_input, transform_output
     
     def main():
         # 1. Read input data
         input_data = spark.read.parquet("s3://input-path")
         
         # 2. Validate input
         validate_input(input_data)
         
         # 3. Process data
         processed_data = process_data(input_data)
         
         # 4. Transform output
         final_output = transform_output(processed_data)
         
         # 5. Write results
         final_output.write.parquet("s3://output-path")
     
     if __name__ == "__main__":
         main()
     

💻 Usage

Command Line Interface

Start a job in client mode:

emrrunner start --job job1 --step process_daily_data

Start a job in cluster mode:

emrrunner start --job job1 --step process_daily_data --deploy-mode cluster

API Endpoints

Start a job via API in client mode (default):

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/emr/start-job \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"job_name": "job1", "step": "process_daily_data"}'

Start a job via API in cluster mode:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/emr/start-job \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"job_name": "job1", "step": "process_daily_data", "deploy_mode": "cluster"}'

💡 Best Practices

1. Bootstrap Actions

   • Keep bootstrap scripts modular
   • Version control your dependencies
   • Use specific package versions
   • Test bootstrap scripts locally when possible
   • Store bootstrap scripts in S3 with versioning enabled

2. Job Dependencies

   • Maintain a requirements.txt for each job
   • Use virtual environments
   • Document system-level dependencies
   • Test dependencies in a clean environment

3. Job Organization

   • Follow the standard structure for jobs
   • Keep dependencies.py focused and modular
   • Use clear naming conventions
   • Document all functions and modules

🔒 Security

• Supports AWS credential management
• Validates all input parameters
• Secure handling of bootstrap scripts
