EMR / Client / run_job_flow

run_job_flow#

EMR.Client.run_job_flow(**kwargs)#

RunJobFlow creates and starts running a new cluster (job flow). The cluster runs the steps specified. After the steps complete, the cluster stops and the HDFS partition is lost. To prevent loss of data, configure the last step of the job flow to store results in Amazon S3. If the JobFlowInstancesConfig KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps parameter is set to TRUE, the cluster transitions to the WAITING state rather than shutting down after the steps have completed.

For additional protection, you can set the JobFlowInstancesConfig TerminationProtected parameter to TRUE to lock the cluster and prevent it from being terminated by API call, user intervention, or in the event of a job flow error.

A maximum of 256 steps are allowed in each job flow.

If your cluster is long-running (such as a Hive data warehouse) or complex, you may require more than 256 steps to process your data. You can bypass the 256-step limitation in various ways, including using the SSH shell to connect to the master node and submitting queries directly to the software running on the master node, such as Hive and Hadoop.

For long-running clusters, we recommend that you periodically store your results.

Note

The instance fleets configuration is available only in Amazon EMR versions 4.8.0 and later, excluding 5.0.x versions. The RunJobFlow request can contain InstanceFleets parameters or InstanceGroups parameters, but not both.

Parameters:

Name (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the job flow.
LogUri (string) – The location in Amazon S3 to write the log files of the job flow. If a value is not provided, logs are not created.
LogEncryptionKmsKeyId (string) – The KMS key used for encrypting log files. If a value is not provided, the logs remain encrypted by AES-256. This attribute is only available with Amazon EMR version 5.30.0 and later, excluding Amazon EMR 6.0.0.
AdditionalInfo (string) – A JSON string for selecting additional features.
AmiVersion (string) – Applies only to Amazon EMR AMI versions 3.x and 2.x. For Amazon EMR releases 4.0 and later, ReleaseLabel is used. To specify a custom AMI, use CustomAmiID.
ReleaseLabel (string) – The Amazon EMR release label, which determines the version of open-source application packages installed on the cluster. Release labels are in the form emr-x.x.x, where x.x.x is an Amazon EMR release version such as emr-5.14.0. For more information about Amazon EMR release versions and included application versions and features, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/. The release label applies only to Amazon EMR releases version 4.0 and later. Earlier versions use AmiVersion.
Instances (dict) –
[REQUIRED]

A specification of the number and type of Amazon EC2 instances.
- MasterInstanceType (string) –
  
  The EC2 instance type of the master node.
- SlaveInstanceType (string) –
  
  The EC2 instance type of the core and task nodes.
- InstanceCount (integer) –
  
  The number of EC2 instances in the cluster.
- InstanceGroups (list) –
  
  Configuration for the instance groups in a cluster.
  - (dict) –
    
    Configuration defining a new instance group.
    - Name (string) –
      
      Friendly name given to the instance group.
    - Market (string) –
      
      Market type of the EC2 instances used to create a cluster node.
    - InstanceRole (string) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The role of the instance group in the cluster.
    - BidPrice (string) –
      
      If specified, indicates that the instance group uses Spot Instances. This is the maximum price you are willing to pay for Spot Instances. Specify OnDemandPrice to set the amount equal to the On-Demand price, or specify an amount in USD.
    - InstanceType (string) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The EC2 instance type for all instances in the instance group.
    - InstanceCount (integer) – [REQUIRED]
      
      Target number of instances for the instance group.
    - Configurations (list) –

        If you specify use-capacity-reservations-first, the fleet uses unused Capacity Reservations to fulfill On-Demand capacity up to the target On-Demand capacity. If multiple instance pools have unused Capacity Reservations, the On-Demand allocation strategy ( lowest-price) is applied. If the number of unused Capacity Reservations is less than the On-Demand target capacity, the remaining On-Demand target capacity is launched according to the On-Demand allocation strategy ( lowest-price).

  - Name (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The name of the step.
  - ActionOnFailure (string) –
    
    The action to take when the step fails. Use one of the following values:
    - TERMINATE_CLUSTER - Shuts down the cluster.
    - CANCEL_AND_WAIT - Cancels any pending steps and returns the cluster to the WAITING state.
    - CONTINUE - Continues to the next step in the queue.
    - TERMINATE_JOB_FLOW - Shuts down the cluster. TERMINATE_JOB_FLOW is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using TERMINATE_CLUSTER instead.
    If a cluster’s StepConcurrencyLevel is greater than 1, do not use AddJobFlowSteps to submit a step with this parameter set to CANCEL_AND_WAIT or TERMINATE_CLUSTER. The step is not submitted and the action fails with a message that the ActionOnFailure setting is not valid.
    
    If you change a cluster’s StepConcurrencyLevel to be greater than 1 while a step is running, the ActionOnFailure parameter may not behave as you expect. In this case, for a step that fails with this parameter set to CANCEL_AND_WAIT, pending steps and the running step are not canceled; for a step that fails with this parameter set to TERMINATE_CLUSTER, the cluster does not terminate.

VisibleToAllUsers (boolean) –

Warning

The VisibleToAllUsers parameter is no longer supported. By default, the value is set to true. Setting it to false now has no effect.

Set this value to true so that IAM principals in the Amazon Web Services account associated with the cluster can perform EMR actions on the cluster that their IAM policies allow. This value defaults to true for clusters created using the EMR API or the CLI create-cluster command.

When set to false, only the IAM principal that created the cluster and the Amazon Web Services account root user can perform EMR actions for the cluster, regardless of the IAM permissions policies attached to other IAM principals. For more information, see Understanding the EMR Cluster VisibleToAllUsers Setting in the Amazon EMRManagement Guide.
JobFlowRole (string) – Also called instance profile and EC2 role. An IAM role for an EMR cluster. The EC2 instances of the cluster assume this role. The default role is EMR_EC2_DefaultRole. In order to use the default role, you must have already created it using the CLI or console.
ServiceRole (string) – The IAM role that Amazon EMR assumes in order to access Amazon Web Services resources on your behalf. If you’ve created a custom service role path, you must specify it for the service role when you launch your cluster.
Tags (list) –
A list of tags to associate with a cluster and propagate to Amazon EC2 instances.
- (dict) –

This option is only available with Amazon EMR 5.1.0 and later and is the default for clusters created using that version. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION indicates that Amazon EMR adds nodes to a deny list and drains tasks from nodes before terminating the Amazon EC2 instances, regardless of the instance-hour boundary. With either behavior, Amazon EMR removes the least active nodes first and blocks instance termination if it could lead to HDFS corruption. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION available only in Amazon EMR version 4.1.0 and later, and is the default for versions of Amazon EMR earlier than 5.1.0.
CustomAmiId (string) –
