Welcome to Livy
===============
**NOTE: This fork is no longer used! We now use upstream Livy. See the Jira card DEI-551 for more details.**
Livy is an open source REST interface for interacting with `Apache Spark`_ from anywhere.
It supports executing snippets of code or programs in a Spark context that runs locally or in `Apache Hadoop YARN`_.
* Interactive Scala, Python and R shells
* Batch submissions in Scala, Java, Python
* Multiple users can share the same server (impersonation support)
* Can be used for submitting jobs from anywhere with REST
* Does not require any code change to your programs
`Pull requests`_ are welcomed! But before you begin, please check out the `Wiki`_.

.. _Wiki: https://github.com/cloudera/livy/wiki/Contributing-to-Livy
Prerequisites
=============
To build Livy, you will need:
Debian/Ubuntu:
* mvn (from ``maven`` package or maven3 tarball)
* openjdk-7-jdk (or Oracle Java7 jdk)
* Python 2.6+
* R 3.x
Redhat/CentOS:
* mvn (from ``maven`` package or maven3 tarball)
* java-1.7.0-openjdk (or Oracle Java7 jdk)
* Python 2.6+
* R 3.x
MacOS:
* Xcode command line tools
* Oracle's JDK 1.7+
* Maven (Homebrew)
* Python 2.6+
* R 3.x
To run Livy, you will also need a Spark installation. You can get Spark releases at
https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html. Livy requires at least Spark 1.4 and currently
only supports Scala 2.10 builds of Spark.
Building Livy
=============
Livy is built using `Apache Maven`_. To check out and build Livy, run:
.. code:: shell
git clone git@github.com:cloudera/livy.git
cd livy
mvn package
By default Livy is built against the CDH 5.5 distribution of Spark (based off Spark 1.5.0). You can
build Livy against a different version of Spark by setting the ``spark.version`` property:
.. code:: shell
mvn -Dspark.version=1.6.1 package
The version of Spark used when running Livy does not need to match the version used to build Livy.
The Livy package itself does not contain a Spark distribution, and will work with any supported
version of Spark.
.. _Apache Maven: http://maven.apache.org
Running Livy
============
In order to run Livy with local sessions, first export these variables:
.. code:: shell
export SPARK_HOME=/usr/lib/spark
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/etc/hadoop/conf
export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/*:/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/lib/*:/usr/lib/spark/lib/*
Then start the server with:
.. code:: shell
./bin/livy-server
Livy uses the Spark configuration under ``SPARK_HOME`` by default. You can override the Spark configuration
by setting the ``SPARK_CONF_DIR`` environment variable before starting Livy.
It is strongly recommended to configure Spark to submit applications in YARN cluster mode.
That makes sure that user sessions have their resources properly accounted for in the YARN cluster,
and that the host running the Livy server doesn't become overloaded when multiple user sessions are
running.
Livy Configuration
==================
Livy uses a few configuration files under configuration the directory, which by default is the
``conf`` directory under the Livy installation. An alternative configuration directory can be
provided by setting the ``LIVY_CONF_DIR`` environment variable when starting Livy.
The configuration files used by Livy are:
* ``livy.conf``: contains the server configuration. The Livy distribution ships with a default
configuration file listing available configuration keys and their default values.
* ``spark-blacklist.conf``: list Spark configuration options that users are not allowed to override.
These options will be restricted to either their default values, or the values set in the Spark
configuration used by Livy.
* ``log4j.properties``: configuration for Livy logging. Defines log levels and where log messages
will be written to. The default configuration will print log messages to stderr.
Upgrade from Livy 0.1
=====================
A few things changed between since Livy 0.1 that require manual intervention when upgrading.
- Sessions that were active when the Livy 0.1 server was stopped may need to be killed
manually. Use the tools from your cluster manager to achieve that (for example, the
``yarn`` command line tool).
- The configuration file has been renamed from ``livy-defaults.conf`` to ``livy.conf``.
- A few configuration values do not have any effect anymore. Notably:
* ``livy.server.session.factory``: this config option has been replaced by the Spark
configuration under ``SPARK_HOME``. If you wish to use a different Spark configuration
for Livy, you can set ``SPARK_CONF_DIR`` in Livy's environment. To define the default
file system root for sessions, set ``HADOOP_CONF_DIR`` to point at the Hadoop configuration
to use. The default Hadoop file system will be used.
* ``livy.yarn.jar``: this config has been replaced by separate configs listing specific
archives for different Livy features. Refer to the default ``livy.conf`` file shipped
with Livy for instructions.
* ``livy.server.spark-submit``: replaced by the ``SPARK_HOME`` environment variable.
Using the Programmatic API
==========================
Livy provides a programmatic Java API that allows applications to run code inside Spark without
having to maintain a local Spark context. To use the API, add the Cloudera repository to your
application's POM:
.. code:: xml
cloudera.repo
https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos
Cloudera Repositories
false
And add the Livy client dependency:
.. code:: xml
com.cloudera.livy
livy-client-http
0.2.0
To be able to compile code that uses Spark APIs, also add the correspondent Spark dependencies.
To run Spark jobs within your applications, extend ``com.cloudera.livy.Job`` and implement
the functionality you need. Here's an example job that calculates an approximate value for Pi:
.. code:: java
import java.util.*;
import org.apache.spark.api.java.*;
import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.*;
import com.cloudera.livy.*;
public class PiJob implements Job, Function,
Function2 {
private final int samples;
public PiJob(int samples) {
this.samples = samples;
}
@Override
public Double call(JobContext ctx) throws Exception {
List sampleList = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < samples; i++) {
sampleList.add(i + 1);
}
return 4.0d * ctx.sc().parallelize(sampleList).map(this).reduce(this) / samples;
}
@Override
public Integer call(Integer v1) {
double x = Math.random();
double y = Math.random();
return (x*x + y*y < 1) ? 1 : 0;
}
@Override
public Integer call(Integer v1, Integer v2) {
return v1 + v2;
}
}
To submit this code using Livy, create a LivyClient instance and upload your application code to
the Spark context. Here's an example of code that submits the above job and prints the computed
value:
.. code:: java
LivyClient client = new LivyClientBuilder()
.setURI(new URI(livyUrl))
.build();
try {
System.err.printf("Uploading %s to the Spark context...\n", piJar);
client.uploadJar(new File(piJar)).get();
System.err.printf("Running PiJob with %d samples...\n", samples);
double pi = client.submit(new PiJob(samples)).get();
System.out.println("Pi is roughly: " + pi);
} finally {
client.stop(true);
}
To learn about all the functionality available to applications, read the javadoc documentation for
the classes under the ``api`` module.
Spark Example
=============
Here's a step-by-step example of interacting with Livy in Python with the `Requests`_ library. By
default Livy runs on port 8998 (which can be changed with the ``livy.server.port`` config option).
We’ll start off with a Spark session that takes Scala code:
.. code:: shell
sudo pip install requests
.. code:: python
import json, pprint, requests, textwrap
host = 'http://localhost:8998'
data = {'kind': 'spark'}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
r = requests.post(host + '/sessions', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
r.json()
{u'state': u'starting', u'id': 0, u'kind': u'spark'}
Once the session has completed starting up, it transitions to the idle state:
.. code:: python
session_url = host + r.headers['location']
r = requests.get(session_url, headers=headers)
r.json()
{u'state': u'idle', u'id': 0, u'kind': u'spark'}
Now we can execute Scala by passing in a simple JSON command:
.. code:: python
statements_url = session_url + '/statements'
data = {'code': '1 + 1'}
r = requests.post(statements_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
r.json()
{u'output': None, u'state': u'running', u'id': 0}
If a statement takes longer than a few milliseconds to execute, Livy returns
early and provides a statement URL that can be polled until it is complete:
.. code:: python
statement_url = host + r.headers['location']
r = requests.get(statement_url, headers=headers)
pprint.pprint(r.json())
{u'id': 0,
u'output': {u'data': {u'text/plain': u'res0: Int = 2'},
u'execution_count': 0,
u'status': u'ok'},
u'state': u'available'}
That was a pretty simple example. More interesting is using Spark to estimate
Pi. This is from the `Spark Examples`_:
.. code:: python
data = {
'code': textwrap.dedent("""\
val NUM_SAMPLES = 100000;
val count = sc.parallelize(1 to NUM_SAMPLES).map { i =>
val x = Math.random();
val y = Math.random();
if (x*x + y*y < 1) 1 else 0
}.reduce(_ + _);
println(\"Pi is roughly \" + 4.0 * count / NUM_SAMPLES)
""")
}
r = requests.post(statements_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
pprint.pprint(r.json())
{u'id': 1,
u'output': {u'data': {u'text/plain': u'Pi is roughly 3.14004\nNUM_SAMPLES: Int = 100000\ncount: Int = 78501'},
u'execution_count': 1,
u'status': u'ok'},
u'state': u'available'}
Finally, close the session:
.. code:: python
session_url = 'http://localhost:8998/sessions/0'
requests.delete(session_url, headers=headers)
.. _Requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
.. _Spark Examples: https://spark.apache.org/examples.html
PySpark Example
===============
PySpark has the same API, just with a different initial request:
.. code:: python
data = {'kind': 'pyspark'}
r = requests.post(host + '/sessions', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
r.json()
{u'id': 1, u'state': u'idle'}
The Pi example from before then can be run as:
.. code:: python
data = {
'code': textwrap.dedent("""
import random
NUM_SAMPLES = 100000
def sample(p):
x, y = random.random(), random.random()
return 1 if x*x + y*y < 1 else 0
count = sc.parallelize(xrange(0, NUM_SAMPLES)).map(sample).reduce(lambda a, b: a + b)
print "Pi is roughly %f" % (4.0 * count / NUM_SAMPLES)
""")
}
r = requests.post(statements_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
pprint.pprint(r.json())
{u'id': 12,
u'output': {u'data': {u'text/plain': u'Pi is roughly 3.136000'},
u'execution_count': 12,
u'status': u'ok'},
u'state': u'running'}
SparkR Example
==============
SparkR has the same API:
.. code:: python
data = {'kind': 'sparkr'}
r = requests.post(host + '/sessions', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
r.json()
{u'id': 1, u'state': u'idle'}
The Pi example from before then can be run as:
.. code:: python
data = {
'code': textwrap.dedent("""\
n <- 100000
piFunc <- function(elem) {
rands <- runif(n = 2, min = -1, max = 1)
val <- ifelse((rands[1]^2 + rands[2]^2) < 1, 1.0, 0.0)
val
}
piFuncVec <- function(elems) {
message(length(elems))
rands1 <- runif(n = length(elems), min = -1, max = 1)
rands2 <- runif(n = length(elems), min = -1, max = 1)
val <- ifelse((rands1^2 + rands2^2) < 1, 1.0, 0.0)
sum(val)
}
rdd <- parallelize(sc, 1:n, slices)
count <- reduce(lapplyPartition(rdd, piFuncVec), sum)
cat("Pi is roughly", 4.0 * count / n, "\n")
""")
}
r = requests.post(statements_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
pprint.pprint(r.json())
{u'id': 12,
u'output': {u'data': {u'text/plain': u'Pi is roughly 3.136000'},
u'execution_count': 12,
u'status': u'ok'},
u'state': u'running'}
