sparkrouter 0.2.1

Platform-agnostic job routing framework for Spark ETL pipelines

SparkRouter

Platform-agnostic job routing framework for Spark ETL pipelines.

Write your ETL logic once, run it on Databricks, AWS Glue, EMR, or Docker containers.

Why SparkRouter?

• Write Once, Run Anywhere: Same job code runs on multiple Spark platforms
• Clean Architecture: Factory + Template Method patterns keep code testable
• Configuration-Driven: JSON config via CLI, no code changes between environments

Installation

uv add sparkrouter
# or
pip install sparkrouter

Quick Start

How It Works

flowchart LR
    A["Airflow DAG"] --> B["Entry Script"] --> C["Your Job Factory"] --> D["Your Job"]

1. Airflow (or any orchestrator) triggers a Spark platform job
2. The entry script routes to your code via --module_name
3. Your factory creates the job with dependencies
4. Your job runs the business logic

Step 1: Write Your Job

# my_etl_job.py
from sparkrouter import AbstractJob

class MyETLJob(AbstractJob):
    def execute_job(self, input_path: str, output_path: str) -> dict:
        # Your business logic here
        print(f"Processing {input_path} -> {output_path}")
        return {"records_processed": 1000}

    def on_success(self, results):
        print(f"Done: {results['records_processed']} records")

    def on_failure(self, error_message):
        print(f"Failed: {error_message}")

Step 2: Write Your Factory

# my_etl_job_factory.py
from sparkrouter import AbstractJobFactory
from my_etl_job import MyETLJob

class MyETLJobFactory(AbstractJobFactory):
    def create_job(self, **kwargs) -> MyETLJob:
        return MyETLJob()

def main(**kwargs):
    """Entry point called by SparkRouter."""
    factory = MyETLJobFactory()
    return factory.run(**kwargs)

Step 3: Run Locally

No entry script needed - run directly from the installed package:

python -m sparkrouter.entry_points.container \
    --module_name my_etl_job_factory \
    --input_path "/data/input" \
    --output_path "/data/output"

Platform Deployment

When deploying to Glue, Databricks, or EMR, those platforms require a script file at an S3/DBFS location. SparkRouter uses a single entry script per platform that routes to any of your jobs via --module_name. You create this script once, upload it once, and reuse it for all jobs.

AWS Glue

1. Create the entry script (one time):

# glue_entry.py
from sparkrouter.entry_points.glue import main

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

2. Upload to S3 (one time):

aws s3 cp glue_entry.py s3://my-bucket/scripts/glue_entry.py

3. Run any job by specifying --module_name:

GlueJobOperator(
    script_location='s3://my-bucket/scripts/glue_entry.py',
    script_args={
        '--module_name': 'mypackage.jobs.my_etl_job_factory',
        '--input_path': 's3://data/input/',
        '--output_path': 's3://data/output/',
    },
    default_arguments={
        '--additional-python-modules': 'sparkrouter,mypackage',
    },
)

Databricks

1. Create the entry script (one time):

# databricks_entry.py
from sparkrouter.entry_points.databricks import main

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

2. Upload to DBFS (one time):

databricks fs cp databricks_entry.py dbfs:/scripts/databricks_entry.py

3. Run any job by specifying --module_name:

DatabricksSubmitRunOperator(
    spark_python_task={
        'python_file': 'dbfs:/scripts/databricks_entry.py',
        'parameters': [
            '--module_name', 'mypackage.jobs.my_etl_job_factory',
            '--input_path', 's3://data/input/',
            '--output_path', 's3://data/output/',
        ],
    },
    libraries=[
        {'pypi': {'package': 'sparkrouter'}},
        {'pypi': {'package': 'mypackage'}},
    ],
)

EMR

1. Create the entry script (one time):

# emr_entry.py
import os
from sparkrouter.entry_points.container import ContainerEntryPoint

class EMREntryPoint(ContainerEntryPoint):
    @property
    def service_provider(self) -> str:
        return "EMR"

    def add_platform_context(self, args):
        args = super().add_platform_context(args)
        args['region'] = os.environ.get('AWS_REGION')
        return args

    def detect_spark(self) -> bool:
        return True  # EMR always has Spark

def main(argv=None):
    return EMREntryPoint().run(argv)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

2. Upload to S3 (one time):

aws s3 cp emr_entry.py s3://my-bucket/scripts/emr_entry.py

3. Run any job via spark-submit:

spark-submit s3://my-bucket/scripts/emr_entry.py \
    --module_name mypackage.jobs.my_etl_job_factory \
    --input_path s3://data/input/ \
    --output_path s3://data/output/
