An Integrated and collaborative cloud environment for building and running Spark applications on PKS/Kubernetes

Primary LanguageShell

Multi cloud Spark application service on PKS

Introduction

Kubernetes is an open source project designed specifically for container orchestration. Kubernetes offers a number of key features, including multiple storage APIs, container health checks, manual or automatic scaling, rolling upgrades and service discovery. Pivotal Container Service - PKS is a solution to manage Kubernetes clusters across private and public clouds. It leverages BOSH to offer a uniform way to instantiate, deploy, and manage highly available Kubernetes clusters on a cloud platform like GCP, VMWare vSphere or AWS.

This project provides a streamlined way of deploying, scaling and managing Spark applications. Spark 2.3 added support for Kubernetes as a cluster manager. This project leverages Helm charts to allow deployment of common Spark application recipes - using Apache Zeppelin and/or Jupyter for interactive, collaborative workloads. It also automates logging of all events across batch jobs and Notebook driven applications to log events to shared storage for offline analysis.

Helm is a package manager for kubernetes and the most productive way to find, install, share, upgrade and use even the most complex kubernetes applications. So, for instance, with a single command you can deploy additional components like HDFS or Elastic search for our Spark applications.

This project is a collaborative effort between SnappyData and Pivotal.

Features

  • Full support for Spark 2.2 applications running on PKS 1.x on both Google cloud and on-prem VMWare cloud environments. The project leverages spark-on-k8s work.
  • Deploy batch spark jobs using kubernetes master as the cluster/resource manager
  • Helm chart to deploy Zeppelin, centralized logging, monitoring across apps (using History server)
  • Helm chart to deploy Jupyter, centralized logging, monitoring across apps (using History server)
  • Use kubernetes persistent volumes for notebooks and event logging for collaboration and historical analysis
  • Spark applications can be Java, Scala or Python
  • Spark applications can dynamically scale

We use Helm charts to abstract the developer from having to understand kubernetes concepts and simply focus on configuration that matters. Think recipes that come with sensible defaults for common Spark workloads on PKS.

We showcase the use of cloud storage (e.g. Google Cloud Storage) to manage logs/events but show how the use persistent volumes within the charts make the architecture portable across clouds.

Pre-requisites and assumptions:

  • We need a running kubernetes or PKS cluster. We only support Kubernetes 1.9 (or higher) and PKS 1.0.0(or higher).

NOTE If you already have access to a Kubernetes cluster, jump to the next section.

Getting access to a PKS or Kubernetes cluster

If you would like to deploy on-prem you can either use Minikube (local developer machine) or get PKS environment setup using vSphere.

Option (1) - PKS

  • PKS on vSphere: Follow these instructions
  • PKS on GCP: Follow these instructions
  • Create a Kubernetes cluster using PKS CLI : Once PKS is setup you will need to create a k8s cluster as described here

Option (2) - Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

  • Login to your Google account and goto the Cloud console to launch a GKE cluster

Option (3) - Minikube on your local machine

  • If either of the above options is difficult, you may setup a test cluster on your local machine using minikube. We recommend using the latest release of minikube with the DNS addon enabled.
  • If using Minikube, be aware that the default minikube configuration is not enough for running Spark applications. We recommend 3 CPUs and 4g of memory to be able to start a simple Spark application with a single executor.

Steps if a Kubernetes cluster is available

  • If using PKS, you will need to install the PKS command line tool. See instructions here
  • Install kubectl on your local development machine and configure access to the kubernetes/PKS cluster. See instructions for kubectl here. If you are using Google cloud, you will find instructions for setting up Google Cloud SDK ('gcloud') along with kubectl here.
  • You must have appropriate permissions to list, create, edit and delete pods in your cluster. You can verify that you can list these resources by running kubectl auth can-i list,create,edit,delete pods.
  • The service account credentials used by the driver pods must be allowed to create pods, services and configmaps. For example, if you are using default service account, assign 'edit' role to it for namespace 'spark' by using following command
kubectl create clusterrolebinding spark-role --clusterrole=edit --serviceaccount=spark:default

Setup Helm charts

Helm comprises of two parts: a client and a server (Tiller) inside the kube-system namespace. Tiller runs inside your Kubernetes cluster, and manages releases (installations) of your charts. To install Helm follow the steps here. The instructions are applicable for any kubernetes cluster (PKS or GKE or Minikube).

Quickstart

Launch Spark and Notebook servers

We use the spark-umbrella chart to deploy Jupyter, Zeppelin, Spark Resource Staging Server, and Spark Shuffle Service on Kubernetes. This chart is composed from individual sub-charts for each of the components. You can read more about Helm umbrella charts here

You can configure the components in the umbrella chart's 'values.yaml' (see spark-umbrella/values.yaml) or in each of the individual sub-chart's 'values.yaml' file. The umbrella chart's 'values.yaml' will override the ones in sub-charts.

# fetch the chart repo ....
git clone https://github.com/SnappyDataInc/spark-on-k8s

# Get the sub-charts required by the umbrella chart
cd charts
helm dep up spark-umbrella

# Now, install the chart in a namespace called 'spark'
helm install --name spark-all --namespace spark ./spark-umbrella/

The above command will deploy the helm chart and will display instructions to access Zeppelin service and Spark UI.

Note that this command will return quickly and kubernetes controllers will work in the background to achieve the state specified in the chart. The command below can be used to access the notebook environment from any browser.

kubectl get services --namespace spark -w
# Note: this could take a while to complete. Use '-w' option to wait for state changes. 

Once everything is up and running you will see something like this:

NAME                          TYPE           CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP     PORT(S)                        AGE
spark-all-jupyter-spark       LoadBalancer   10.63.246.130   35.184.71.164   8888:31540/TCP,4040:30922/TCP  9m
spark-all-rss                 LoadBalancer   10.63.246.190   35.192.235.35   10000:31000/TCP                9m
spark-all-zeppelin            LoadBalancer   10.63.254.150   35.192.68.147   8080:30522/TCP,4040:31236/TCP  9m

Access the zeppelin notebook environment using URL external-ip:8080 from any browser. Spark UI is accessible using URL external-ip:4040. NOTE that the Spark UI is only accessible after you have run at least one Spark job. Spark Driver (and hence UI) is lazily started. Simply navigate to ; Click 'Zeppelin Tutorial' and then 'Basic Features(Spark)'. Run the 'Load data' paragraph followed by one or more SQL paragraphs.

Launch the kubernetes dashboard

You can launch the Kubernetes dashboard (If using GCP you can get to the dashboard from the GCP console) to inspect the various deployed objects, associated pods and even connect to a running container.

# To launch the dashboard, do this ... We use a proxy to access the dashboard locally ...
kubectl proxy

# Goto URL localhost:8001/ui. The page will request a token .... 
# Get the token using ....
kubectl config view | grep -A10 "name: $(kubectl config current-context)" | awk '$1=="access-token:"{print $2}' 

Launch a Spark batch job

The spark distribution with support for kubernetes can be downloaded here

We will use spark-submit from this distribution to deploy a batch job. Example below runs the built in SparkPi job. The 'local://' URL will result in looking for the JAR in the launched container. spark.kubernetes.namespace option indicates the namespace in which the Spark job will be executed.

# Find your Kubernetes Master server IP using 'kubectl cluster-info' and port number. Substitute below. 
bin/spark-submit --master k8s://https://K8S-API-SERVER-IP:PORT --deploy-mode cluster --name spark-pi \
 --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi --conf spark.kubernetes.namespace=spark --conf spark.executor.instances=1 \ 
 --conf spark.app.name=spark-pi --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
 --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
  local:///opt/spark/examples/jars/spark-examples_2.11-2.2.0-k8s-0.5.0.jar

If you face OAuth token expiry errors when you run spark-submit, it is likely because the token needs to be refreshed. The easiest way to fix this is to run any kubectl command, say, kubectl version and then retry your submission.

Stop/delete everything

You can delete everything using 'helm delete'. Note that any changes to notebooks, data, etc will be gone too.

helm delete --purge spark-all

Quickstart along with History server

History server purpose: Other cluster managers for Spark (Standalone, Mesos, Yarn) provide a UI so one can monitor across all Spark applications or analyze the metrics after a Job completes. With Kubernetes, currently there is no such centralized admin utility to monitor Spark applications. But, Spark can be configured to use a shared folder to log events. Each application logs its events into a sub-folder we can use the Spark history server to monitor/analyze across all apps. The History server provides a UI that is very similar to the Spark UI for individual apps(exposed by the Spark Driver). Spark can log using NFS, HDFS or GS (google storage).
We walk through the setup for using the History server using our umbrella Helm chart.

Setup shared storage

We need a shared persistent volume to manage state: Spark events from distributed applications(pods) and Notebooks (developed using Zeppelin or Jupyter) that you want to preserve/share. Note containers only manage ephemeral state. You need to configure external persistence so your data survives pod failures or restarts.

We describe the steps to use Google cloud storage for Spark Events. We will describe the steps to setup NFS as a possible solution across cloud environments, in the future.

Steps to setup storage using Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

In this example, we use Google Cloud Storage(GCS) to persist the events generated by Spark applications. You don't need the steps below if you decide to use other schemes like 'hdfs' or 's3' storage.

Using Google cloud utilities (gsutil and gcloud ; should already be setup on your local laptop), we create a GCS bucket and associate it with your GCP project.

```
# Create a bucket using gsutil
# NOTE: Bucket names have to be globally unique. Pick a unique name if spark-history-server bucket exists.
gsutil mb -c nearline gs://spark-history-server-store
# Specify a account name
export ACCOUNT_NAME=sparkonk8s-test
# Change below to specify your Google cloud project name. Use 'gcloud config list' if you don't know. 
export GCP_PROJECT_ID= your-gcp-project-id
# Create a service account and generate credentials
gcloud iam service-accounts create ${ACCOUNT_NAME} --display-name "${ACCOUNT_NAME}"
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create "${ACCOUNT_NAME}.json" --iam-account "${ACCOUNT_NAME}@${GCP_PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
# Grant admin rights to the bucket
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding ${GCP_PROJECT_ID} --member "serviceAccount:${ACCOUNT_NAME}@${GCP_PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role roles/storage.admin
gsutil iam ch serviceAccount:${ACCOUNT_NAME}@${GCP_PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com:objectAdmin gs://spark-history-server-store
```

In order for history server to be able read from the GCS bucket, we need to mount the json key file on the history server pod. Copy the json file into 'conf/secrets' directory for umbrella chart.

cp sparkonk8s-test.json spark-umbrella/conf/secrets/

By default, umbrella chart does not deploy the History server. We enable the History server deployment by modifying the 'values.yaml' file. We also specify the GCS bucket path created above. History server will read spark events from this path.

historyserver:
  # whether to enable history server
  enabled: true
  historyServerConf:
    # URI of the GCS bucket
    eventsDir: "gs://spark-history-server-store"

Next, set the SPARK_HISTORY_OPTS so that history server uses json key file while accessing the GCS bucket

environment:
  SPARK_HISTORY_OPTS: -Dspark.hadoop.google.cloud.auth.service.account.json.keyfile=/etc/secrets/sparkonk8s-test.json

Finally, we configure Zeppelin to log events to the same GCS bucket

zeppelin:

  environment:
    SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTIONS: >-
       --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1
       --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1
       --conf spark.executor.instances=2
       --conf spark.hadoop.google.cloud.auth.service.account.json.keyfile=/etc/secrets/sparkonk8s-test.json

  sparkEventLog:
    enableHistoryEvents: true
    # eventsLogDir should point to a URI of GCS bucket where history events will be dumped
    eventLogDir: "gs://spark-history-server-store"

Launch Spark, Zeppelin and History server cluster

Follow the Helm install command to launch everything as described above. For Spark batch job (Spark-submit) follow instructions below (you need additional configuration)

You can access the History server UI using URL History-server-external-IP:18080

Note: When using GCS for logging the logs become visible only when the Spark application exits. You may have to restart the Zeppelin interpreter to view the logs. Use the Zeppelin Spark Driver UI for current state.
The spark-submit logs should be immediately accessible from the history server

Enable spark-submit to log spark history events

The spark-submit example below shows Spark job that logs historical events to the GCS bucket created in above steps. Once job finishes, use the Spark history server UI to view the job execution details.

bin/spark-submit \
    --master k8s://https://<k8s-master-IP> \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --name spark-pi \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.namespace=spark \
    --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
    --conf spark.eventLog.enabled=true \
    --conf spark.eventLog.dir=gs://spark-history-server-store/ \
    --conf spark.executor.instances=2 \
    --conf spark.hadoop.google.cloud.auth.service.account.json.keyfile=/etc/secrets/sparkonk8s-test.json \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.secrets.history-secrets=/etc/secrets \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.secrets.history-secrets=/etc/secrets \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
    local:///opt/spark/examples/jars/spark-examples_2.11-2.2.0-k8s-0.5.0.jar

How does it work ?

Kubernetes

Kubernetes follows a master/worker architecture. Master Node is the control plane which contains the components that make global decisions about the cluster, apiserver exposes Kubernetes API, etcd is used as the backing store for all cluster data, controller-manager is responsible for running all controllers(Node Controller, Replication Controller, Endpoints Controller, Service Account & Token Controllers, etc). Worker Node is the server where containers are deployed, kubelet is an agent running on each worker node and ensures that all containers are running and stay healthy. kube-proxy enables the Kubernetes service abstraction by maintaining network rules on the host and performing connection forwarding.

Kubernetes Architecture

Spark on Kubernetes

When a Spark application is submitted to the Master Node of Kubernetes cluster, a driver pod will be created first. Once the driver pod is up and running, it will communicate back to Master Node and asks for executor pods creation, once the executor pods are created, they will communicate with driver pod and start accepting tasks.

spark on k8s Architecture

(see description from Qi Shao for more details)

Composite Spark applications using Helm Charts

High Level Architecture

The above graphic shows how Helm is used to deploy the various Kubernetes objects and the interactions amongst them. A Helm chart is a bundle of information necessary to create an instance of a Kubernetes application. This information is in YAML files stored as a template. The YAML is a specification for a Kubernetes object like a Service or a Pod. The config contains configuration information that can be merged into a packaged chart to create a releasable object. The configuration is obtained from the values.yaml file. A release is a running instance of a chart, combined with a specific config.

When a client executes a 'helm install ' the Helm client communicates with the Helm server (Tiller) running in the k8s cluster to combine the chart with configuration information to build a release. This release is deployed as k8s objects using the k8s API. Helm keeps a track of subsequent releases - upgrading and uninstalling by interacting with k8s. Read more about helm architecture here.

In our case, when the umbrella chart is deployed, it launches the Notebook server pod(s) and the History server. We also create LoadBalancer service objects opening endpoints so Notebook servers and the history server UI is accessible from outside Kubernetes. When a notebook Spark paragraph is executed, the notebook server launches a 'in-cluster client' Spark driver within the same pod as the notebook server. The driver is automatically configured to use the k8s master as the cluster manager. K8s then launches the executor pods. All these Pods use the configured storage to write Spark events to a shared folder which is also accessible from the History server.

When launching Spark batch jobs using Spark-submit, the driver creates executors which are also running within Kubernetes pods and connects to them, and executes application code. When the application completes, the executor pods terminate and are cleaned up, but the driver pod persists logs and remains in “completed” state in the Kubernetes API until it’s eventually garbage collected or manually cleaned up. Note that in the completed state, the driver pod does not use any computational or memory resources.

The driver and executor pod scheduling is handled by Kubernetes. It is possible to schedule the driver and executor pods on a subset of available nodes through a node selector using the configuration property for it. It will be possible to use more advanced scheduling hints like node/pod affinities in a future release.

Submitting Applications to Kubernetes (details)

Use spark-submit to submit Spark batch jobs. The quickstart above provided an example for how to run the Pi Application that was packaged within the docker image using the local:\\\<path to JAR>.

The Spark master, specified either via passing the --master command line argument to spark-submit or by setting spark.master in the application's configuration, must be a URL with the format k8s://<api_server_url>. Prefixing the master string with k8s:// will cause the Spark application to launch on the Kubernetes cluster, with the API server being contacted at api_server_url. If no HTTP protocol is specified in the URL, it defaults to https. For example, setting the master to k8s://example.com:443 is equivalent to setting it to k8s://https://example.com:443, but to connect without TLS on a different port, the master would be set to k8s://http://example.com:8443.

One way to discover the apiserver URL is by executing kubectl cluster-info.

> kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at http://127.0.0.1:8080

In the above example, the specific Kubernetes cluster can be used with spark submit by specifying --master k8s://http://127.0.0.1:8080 as an argument to spark-submit.

Note that applications can currently only be executed in cluster mode, where the driver and its executors are running on the cluster.

Configuring Service Account

When Kubernetes RBAC is enabled, the default service account used by the driver may not have appropriate pod edit permissions for launching executor pods. We recommend to add another service account, say sparkjob, with the necessary privilege. For example:

kubectl create serviceaccount sparkjob
kubectl create clusterrolebinding spark-edit --clusterrole edit --serviceaccount spark:sparkjob 

In the above command, --serviceaccount option accepts value of the format 'namespace:serviceAccount'. Here we have assigned edit role to sparkjob service account for namespace called spark

One can then modify global section in values.yaml file to specify the service account to use.

global:
  serviceAccount: sparkjob

Dependency Management

Application dependencies that are being submitted from your machine need to be sent to a resource staging server that the driver and executor can then communicate with to retrieve those dependencies. The umbrella chart described in quickstart deploys resource staging server. The command below shows how usage of resource staging server to specify jar for spark-examples. This jar will be copied from you local machine to the resource staging server which will make it available to the Spark driver and executors during job execution.

Note: The spark distribution with support for kubernetes can be downloaded here We will use spark-submit from this distribution to deploy a batch job. Example below runs the built in SparkPi job.

bin/spark-submit \
  --deploy-mode cluster \
  --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
  --master k8s://https://<k8s-master-IP> \
  --conf spark.kubernetes.namespace=spark \
  --conf spark.executor.instances=5 \
  --conf spark.app.name=spark-pi \
  --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
  --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
  --conf spark.kubernetes.initcontainer.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-init:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
  --conf spark.kubernetes.resourceStagingServer.uri=http://<URI of resource staging server as displayed on console while deploying it> \
  examples/jars/spark-examples_2.11-2.2.0-k8s-0.5.0.jar

Note: The URL of the resource staging server can be found it using 'kubectl get svc' command. Use the externalIp:port combination of rss service to form the URL.

Dependency Management Without The Resource Staging Server

Note that this resource staging server is only required for submitting local dependencies. If your application's dependencies are all hosted in remote locations like HDFS or http servers, they may be referred to by their appropriate remote URIs. Also, application dependencies can be pre-mounted into custom-built Docker images. Those dependencies can be added to the classpath by referencing them with local:// URIs and/or setting the SPARK_EXTRA_CLASSPATH environment variable in your Dockerfiles.

Dynamic Executor Scaling

Spark provides a mechanism to dynamically adjust the the number of executors your application uses based on the workload. This means that your application can reduce the number of executors when there is no demand and request them again later when there is demand. This feature is particularly useful if multiple applications share resources in your Spark cluster.

Spark on Kubernetes supports Dynamic Allocation. This mode requires running an external shuffle service. This is typically a daemonset with a provisioned hostpath volume. This shuffle service may be shared by executors belonging to different SparkJobs. The umbrella chart described in quickstart deploys shuffle service daemonset.

Spark application can target a particular shuffle service based on the labels assigned to the pods in the shuffle daemonset. For example, the umbrella chart creates a shuffle service daemon set and has pods with labels app=spark-shuffle-service and spark-version=2.2.0, we can use those tags to target that particular shuffle service at job launch time. In order to run a job with dynamic allocation enabled, the command may then look like the following:

  bin/spark-submit \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --class org.apache.spark.examples.GroupByTest \
    --master k8s://https://<k8s-master-IP> \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.namespace=spark \
    --conf spark.app.name=group-by-test \
    --conf spark.local.dir=/tmp/spark-local \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1 \
    --conf spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true \
    --conf spark.shuffle.service.enabled=true \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.shuffle.namespace=default \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.shuffle.labels="app=spark-shuffle-service,spark-version=2.2.0" \
    local:///opt/spark/examples/jars/spark-examples_2.11-2.2.0-k8s-0.5.0.jar 10 400000 2

In order to enable dynamic executor scaling for Zeppelin notebooks, one may modify the 'values.yaml' and set SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTIONS accordingly. For example,

  SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTIONS: >-
     --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-driver:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1
     --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=snappydatainc/spark-executor:v2.2.0-kubernetes-0.5.1
     --conf spark.local.dir=/tmp/spark-local
     --conf spark.driver.cores="300m"
     --conf spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled=true
     --conf spark.shuffle.service.enabled=true
     --conf spark.kubernetes.shuffle.namespace=spark
     --conf spark.kubernetes.shuffle.labels="app=spark-shuffle-service,spark-version=2.2.0"
     --conf spark.dynamicAllocation.initialExecutors=0
     --conf spark.dynamicAllocation.minExecutors=1
     --conf spark.dynamicAllocation.maxExecutors=5

Persistent Volume configuration for charts

By default, this chart will provision volumes(PV) dynamically for Jupyter and Zeppelin. These PVs can be used for notebook storage. When the Helm chart is deleted, the volume claims and PVs are not deleted. This allows users to reuse the persistent volume claim, if the chart is deployed again. A user can specify the name of the already created PVC in the persistence.existingClaim field of the Zeppelin/Jupyter configuration when the chart is deployed again.

For example, if you deploy the umbrella chart as follows:

  helm install --name spark-all --namespace spark ./spark-umbrella

This deployment will create two PVCs and dynamically provision volumes for those.

  $ kubectl get pvc --namespace=spark
  NAME                                     STATUS    VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
  spark-all-jupyter                        Bound     pvc-4dc8dbc2-4931-11e8-86bc-42010a800173   6Gi        RWO            standard       2m
  spark-all-zeppelin                       Bound     pvc-4dc9b4cd-4931-11e8-86bc-42010a800173   8Gi        RWO            standard       2m

When the deployment is deleted, following message will be shown, indicating that the PVC has not been removed

  $ helm delete --purge spark-all
  These resources were kept due to the resource policy:
  [PersistentVolumeClaim] spark-all-zeppelin
  [PersistentVolumeClaim] spark-all-jupyter

  release "spark-all" deleted

To reuse these PVCs in the subsequent deployment, modify the persistence.existingClaim field in values.yaml

For example

  zeppelin:
    persistence:
      existingClaim: spark-all-zeppelin

Similarly for Jupyter

  jupyter:
    persistence:
      existingClaim: spark-all-jupyter

Deploy the umbrella chart again and the same volumes will be bound again:

  helm install --name spark-all --namespace spark ./spark-umbrella

Note that if you do not specify the persistence.existingClaim fields and the PVC already exists, the chart will error out

  $ helm install --name spark-all --namespace spark ./spark-umbrella/
  Error: release spark-all failed: persistentvolumeclaims "spark-all-jupyter" already exists

Note: A user can specify a manually created persistent volume claim(PVC) in the persistence.existingClaim field. This is useful if one wants to use an existing PVC instead of provisioning a new volume dynamically thru chart.

Configuring sub-charts

You can configure the components in the umbrella chart's values.yaml.

Detailed description of various attributes can be found in internal readme of the respective sub-charts. The links for which are given below.
