Run Spark Pi App on Apache YuniKorn scheduler

If you have not yet done so, follow YuniKorn docs to install the latest version:

helm repo add yunikorn https://apache.github.io/yunikorn-release

helm repo update

helm install yunikorn yunikorn/yunikorn --namespace yunikorn --version 1.6.3 --create-namespace --set embedAdmissionController=false

Submit a Spark app to YuniKorn enabled cluster:


$ kubectl apply -f examples/pi-on-yunikorn.yaml

$ kubectl describe pod pi-on-yunikorn-0-driver
...

Clean Up

Check the existing Spark applications and clusters. If exists, delete them.

$ kubectl get sparkapp
No resources found in default namespace.

$ kubectl get sparkcluster
No resources found in default namespace.

Remove HelmChart and CRDs.

helm uninstall spark

kubectl delete crd sparkapplications.spark.apache.org

kubectl delete crd sparkclusters.spark.apache.org
