Use Azure Toolkit for Eclipse to create Apache Spark applications for an HDInsight cluster

Use HDInsight Tools in Azure Toolkit for Eclipse to develop Apache Spark applications written in Scala and submit them to an Azure HDInsight Spark cluster, directly from the Eclipse IDE. You can use the HDInsight Tools plug-in in a few different ways:

  • To develop and submit a Scala Spark application on an HDInsight Spark cluster.
  • To access your Azure HDInsight Spark cluster resources.
  • To develop and run a Scala Spark application locally.

Access and manage HDInsight Spark clusters by using HDInsight Tools in Azure Toolkit for Eclipse

You can perform various operations by using HDInsight Tools, including accessing the job output.

Access the job view

  1. In Azure Explorer, expand HDInsight, then the Spark cluster name, and then select Jobs.

    Azure Explorer Eclipse job view node.

  2. Select the Jobs node. If Java version is lower than 1.8, HDInsight Tools automatically reminder you install the E(fx)clipse plug-in. Select OK to continue, and then follow the wizard to install it from the Eclipse Marketplace and restart Eclipse.

    Install missing plugin E(fx)clipse.

  3. Open the Job View from the Jobs node. In the right pane, the Spark Job View tab displays all the applications that were run on the cluster. Select the name of the application for which you want to see more details.

    Apache Eclipse view job logs details.

    You can then take any of these actions:

    • Hover on the job graph. It displays basic info about the running job. Select the job graph, and you can see the stages and info that every job generates.

      Apache Spark job graph stage info.

    • Select the Log tab to view frequently used logs, including Driver Stderr, Driver Stdout, and Directory Info.

      Apache Spark Eclipse job log info.

    • Open the Spark history UI and the Apache Hadoop YARN UI (at the application level) by selecting the hyperlinks at the top of the window.

Access the storage container for the cluster

  1. In Azure Explorer, expand the HDInsight root node to see a list of HDInsight Spark clusters that are available.

  2. Expand the cluster name to see the storage account and the default storage container for the cluster.

    Storage account and default storage container.

  3. Select the storage container name associated with the cluster. In the right pane, double-click the HVACOut folder. Open one of the part- files to see the output of the application.

Access the Spark history server

  1. In Azure Explorer, right-click your Spark cluster name, and then select Open Spark History UI. When you're prompted, enter the admin credentials for the cluster. You specified these while provisioning the cluster.

  2. In the Spark history server dashboard, you use the application name to look for the application that you just finished running. In the preceding code, you set the application name by using val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("MyClusterApp"). So, your Spark application name was MyClusterApp.

Start the Apache Ambari portal

  1. In Azure Explorer, right-click your Spark cluster name, and then select Open Cluster Management Portal (Ambari).

  2. When you're prompted, enter the admin credentials for the cluster. You specified these while provisioning the cluster.

Manage Azure subscriptions

By default, HDInsight Tool in Azure Toolkit for Eclipse lists the Spark clusters from all your Azure subscriptions. If necessary, you can specify the subscriptions for which you want to access the cluster.

  1. In Azure Explorer, right-click the Azure root node, and then select Manage Subscriptions.

  2. In the dialog box, clear the check boxes for the subscription that you don't want to access, and then select Close. You can also select Sign Out if you want to sign out of your Azure subscription.

Run a Spark Scala application locally

You can use HDInsight Tools in Azure Toolkit for Eclipse to run Spark Scala applications locally on your workstation. Typically, these applications don't need access to cluster resources such as a storage container, and you can run and test them locally.

Prerequisite

While you're running the local Spark Scala application on a Windows computer, you might get an exception as explained in SPARK-2356. This exception occurs because WinUtils.exe is missing in Windows.

To resolve this error, you need Winutils.exe to a location like C:\WinUtils\bin, and then add the environment variable HADOOP_HOME and set the value of the variable to C\WinUtils.

Run a local Spark Scala application

  1. Start Eclipse and create a project. In the New Project dialog box, make the following choices, and then select Next.

  2. In the New Project wizard, select HDInsight Project > Spark on HDInsight Local Run Sample (Scala). Then select Next.

    New project selects a wizard dialog.

  3. To provide the project details, follow steps 3 through 6 from the earlier section Setup a Spark Scala project for an HDInsight Spark cluster.

  4. The template adds a sample code (LogQuery) under the src folder that you can run locally on your computer.

    Location of LogQuery local scala application.

  5. Right-click LogQuery.scala , and select Run As > 1 Scala Application. Output like this appears on the Console tab:

    Spark application local run result.

Reader-only role

When users submit job to a cluster with reader-only role permission, Ambari credentials is required.

  1. Sign in with reader-only role account.

  2. From Azure Explorer, expand HDInsight to view HDInsight clusters that are in your subscription. The clusters marked "Role:Reader" only have reader-only role permission.

    HDInsight Spark clusters in Azure Explorer role reader.

  3. Right-click the cluster with reader-only role permission. Select Link this cluster from context menu to link cluster. Enter the Ambari username and password.

    HDInsight Spark clusters in Azure Explorer link.

  4. If the cluster is linked successfully, HDInsight will be refreshed. The stage of the cluster will become linked.

    HDInsight Spark clusters in Azure Explorer linked.

  1. Click Jobs node, Cluster Job Access Denied window pops up.

  2. Click Link this cluster to link cluster.

Known problems

When using Link A Cluster, I would suggest you to provide credential of storage.

link cluster with storage credential eclipses.

There are two modes to submit the jobs. If storage credential is provided, batch mode will be used to submit the job. Otherwise, interactive mode will be used. If the cluster is busy, you might get the error below.

eclipse get error when cluster busy.

eclipse get error when cluster busy yarn.
