Description

This version of Azure PowerShell HDInsight is deprecated. These cmdlets will be removed by January 1, 2017. Please use the newer version of Azure PowerShell HDInsight.

For information about how to use the new HDInsight to create a cluster, see Create Linux-based clusters in HDInsight using Azure PowerShell (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-hadoop-create-linux-clusters-azure-powershell/). For information about how to submit jobs by using Azure PowerShell and other approaches, see Submit Hadoop jobs in HDInsight (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-submit-hadoop-jobs-programmatically/). For reference information about Azure PowerShell HDInsight, see Azure HDInsight Cmdlets.

The Start-AzureHDInsightJob cmdlet starts a defined Azure HDInsight job on a specified cluster. The job to start can be a MapReduce job, a streaming job, a Hive job, or a Pig job.

Examples

Example 1: Start an HDInsight job

PS C:\>$SubId = (Get-AzureSubscription -Current).SubscriptionId
PS C:\> $ClusterName = "Cluster01"
PS C:\> $WordCountJob = New-AzureHDInsightMapReduceJobDefinition -JarFile "/Example/Apps/Hadoop-examples.jar" -ClassName "Wordcount" -Defines @{ "mapred.map.tasks" = "3" } -Arguments "/Example/Data/Gutenberg/Davinci.txt", "/Example/Output/WordCount"
PS C:\> $WordCountJob | Start-AzureHDInsightJob -Cluster $ClusterName
    | Wait-AzureHDInsightJob -Subscription $SubId -WaitTimeoutInSeconds 3600
    | Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput -Cluster $ClusterName -Subscription $SubId -StandardError

The first command gets the current subscription ID, and then stores it in the $SubId variable.

The second command assigns the name Cluster01 to the $ClusterName variable.

The third command uses the New-AzureHDInsightMapReduceJobDefinition cmdlet to create a MapReduce job definition, and then stores it in the $WordCountJob variable.

The final command uses the pipeline operator to pass the $WordCountJob to the Start-AzureHDInsightJob cmdlet to start the job. After the job starts, it is passed to the Wait-AzureHDInsightJob cmdlet, which waits for the job to complete before passing it to the Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput cmdlet to get the job output.
