Adding and Executing a Job (Deprecated)

Function

This API is used to add a job to an MRS cluster and execute the job. This API is incompatible with Sahara.

URI

  • Format

    POST /v1.1/{project_id}/jobs/submit-job

  • Parameter description
    Table 1 URI parameter

    Parameter

    Mandatory

    Description

    project_id

    Yes

    The project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Request Parameters

Table 2 Request parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

job_type

Yes

Integer

Job type code

  • 1: MapReduce
  • 2: Spark
  • 3: Hive Script
  • 4: HiveQL (not supported currently)
  • 5: DistCp, importing and exporting data. For details, see Table 3.
  • 6: Spark Script
  • 7: Spark SQL, submitting Spark SQL statements. For details, see Table 4. (Not supported in this API currently.)
    NOTE:

    Spark and Hive jobs can be added to only clusters that include Spark and Hive components.

job_name

Yes

String

Job name

Contains only 1 to 64 letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

NOTE:

Identical job names are allowed but not recommended.

cluster_id

Yes

String

Cluster ID

jar_path

Yes

String

Path of the JAR or SQL file for program execution

The parameter must meet the following requirements:

  • Contains a maximum of 1,023 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&><'$. The address cannot be empty or full of spaces.
  • Starts with / or s3a://. The OBS path does not support files or programs encrypted by KMS.
  • Spark Script must end with .sql while MapReduce and Spark Jar must end with .jar.sql and jar are case-insensitive.

arguments

No

String

Key parameter for program execution. The parameter is specified by the function of the user's program. MRS is only responsible for loading the parameter.

The parameter contains a maximum of 2,047 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&>'<$, and can be left blank.

NOTE:

When entering a parameter containing sensitive information (for example, login password), you can add an at sign (@) before the parameter name to encrypt the parameter value. This prevents the sensitive information from being persisted in plaintext. Therefore, when you view job information on the MRS, sensitive information will be displayed as asterisks (*).

For example, username=admin @password=admin_123.

input

No

String

Path for inputting data, which must start with / or s3a://. Set this parameter to a correct OBS path. The OBS path does not support files or programs encrypted by KMS.

The parameter contains a maximum of 1,023 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&>'<$, and can be left blank.

output

No

String

Path for outputting data, which must start with / or s3a://. A correct OBS path is required. If the path does not exist, the system automatically creates it.

The parameter contains a maximum of 1,023 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&>'<$, and can be left blank.

job_log

No

String

Path for storing job logs that record job running status. The path must start with / or s3a://. A correct OBS path is required.

The parameter contains a maximum of 1,023 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&>'<$, and can be left blank.

hive_script_path

Yes

String

SQL program path

This parameter is needed by Spark Script and Hive Script jobs only, and must meet the following requirements:

  • Contains a maximum of 1,023 characters, excluding special characters such as ;|&><'$. The address cannot be empty or full of spaces.
  • The path must start with / or s3a://. The OBS path does not support files or programs encrypted by KMS.
  • The path must end with .sql.sql is case-insensitive.

NOTE:

Identical job names are allowed but not recommended.

input

  • import: Import data from OBS to HDFS.
Table 4 Spark SQL parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

hql

Yes

String

Spark SQL statement, which needs Base64 encoding and decoding. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/ is a standard encoding table. MRS uses ABCDEFGHILKJMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/ for Base64 encoding. The value of the hql parameter is generated by adding any letter to the beginning of the encoded character string. The Spark SQL statement is generated by decoding the value in the background.

Example:

  1. Obtain the Base64 encoding tool.
  2. Enter the show tables; Spark SQL statement in the encoding tool to perform Base64 encoding.
  3. Obtain the encoded character string c2hvdyB0YWLsZXM7.
  4. At the beginning of c2hvdyB0YWLsZXM7, add any letter, for example, g. Then, the character string becomes gc2hvdyB0YWLsZXM7, that is, the value of the hql parameter.

job_name

Yes

String

Job name. It contains 1 to 64 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.

NOTE:

Identical job names are allowed but not recommended.
