Amazon.ElasticMapReduce.Model

If your job flow 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 more information on how to do this, go to Add More than 256 Steps to a Job Flow in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer's Guide.

A step specifies the location of a JAR file stored either on the master node of the job flow or in Amazon S3. Each step is performed by the main function of the main class of the JAR file. The main class can be specified either in the manifest of the JAR or by using the MainFunction parameter of the step.

Elastic MapReduce executes each step in the order listed. For a step to be considered complete, the main function must exit with a zero exit code and all Hadoop jobs started while the step was running must have completed and run successfully.

You can only add steps to a job flow that is in one of the following states: STARTING, BOOTSTRAPPING, RUNNING, or WAITING.

• "mapr-m3" - launch the job flow using MapR M3 Edition.
• "mapr-m5" - launch the job flow using MapR M5 Edition.
• "mapr" with the user arguments specifying "--edition,m3" or "--edition,m5" - launch the job flow using MapR M3 or M5 Edition, respectively.

Specifies a hardware and software configuration of the EMR cluster. This includes configurations for applications and software bundled with Amazon EMR. The Configuration object is a JSON object which is defined by a classification and a set of properties. Configurations can be nested, so a configuration may have its own Configuration objects listed.

DescribeJobFlows returns a list of job flows that match all of the supplied parameters. The parameters can include a list of job flow IDs, job flow states, and restrictions on job flow creation date and time.

Regardless of supplied parameters, only job flows created within the last two months are returned.

If no parameters are supplied, then job flows matching either of the following criteria are returned:

• Job flows created and completed in the last two weeks
• Job flows created within the last two months that are in one of the following states: RUNNING, WAITING, SHUTTING_DOWN, STARTING

Amazon Elastic MapReduce can return a maximum of 512 job flow descriptions.

The following example removes the stack tag with value Prod from a cluster:

AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey);
IAmazonElasticMapReduce emr = new AmazonElasticMapReduceClient(credentials);
            
var resize = new ResizeJobFlowStep
{
    OnArrested = OnArrested.Continue,
    OnFailure = OnFailure.Continue
};
                    
resize.AddResizeAction(new AddInstanceGroup
{
    InstanceGroup = "core",
    InstanceCount = 10
});
                    
resize.AddResizeAction(new AddInstanceGroup
{
    InstanceGroup = "task",
    InstanceCount = 10,
    WithInstanceType = "m1.small"
});
                    
HadoopJarStepConfig config = resize.ToHadoopJarStepConfig();
            
StepConfig resizeJobFlow = new StepConfig {
     Name = "Resize job flow",
     ActionOnFailure = "TERMINATE_JOB_FLOW",
     HadoopJarStep = config,
};
            
RunJobFlowRequest request = new RunJobFlowRequest {
    Name = "Resize job flow",
    Steps = new List<StepConfig> { resizeJobFlow },
    LogUri = "s3://log-bucket/",
    Instances = new JobFlowInstancesConfig {
        Ec2KeyName = "keypair",
        HadoopVersion = "0.20",
        InstanceCount = 5,
        KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps = true,
        MasterInstanceType = "m1.small",
        SlaveInstanceType = "m1.small"
    }
};
            
RunJobFlowResponse response = emr.RunJobFlow(request);
             

For additional protection, you can set the JobFlowInstancesConfigTerminationProtected parameter to TRUE to lock the job flow 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.

For long running job flows, we recommend that you periodically store your results.

SetTerminationProtection is used to prevent accidental termination of a job flow and to ensure that in the event of an error, the instances will persist so you can recover any data stored in their ephemeral instance storage.

To terminate a job flow that has been locked by setting SetTerminationProtection to true, you must first unlock the job flow by a subsequent call to SetTerminationProtection in which you set the value to false.

For more information, go to Protecting a Job Flow from Termination in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer's Guide.

The maximum number of JobFlows allowed is 10. The call to TerminateJobFlows is asynchronous. Depending on the configuration of the job flow, it may take up to 5-20 minutes for the job flow to completely terminate and release allocated resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances.

Fail - Fail the step. Wait - Continue waiting until the instance group is no longer arrested (requires manual intervention). Continue - Proceed onto the next step.
