Configuring the Switchover Between the Multi-active Instance Mode and the Multi-tenant Mode

Scenarios

When using a cluster, if you want to switch between multi-active instance mode and multi-tenant mode, the following configurations are required.

  • Switch from multi-tenant mode to multi-active instance mode.
    Modify the following parameters of the Spark2x service:
    • spark.thriftserver.proxy.enabled=false
    • spark.scheduler.allocation.file=#{conf_dir}/fairscheduler.xml
    • spark.proxyserver.hash.enabled=false
  • Switch from multi-active instance mode to multi-tenant mode.
    Modify the following parameters of the Spark2x service:
    • spark.thriftserver.proxy.enabled=true
    • spark.scheduler.allocation.file=./__spark_conf__/__hadoop_conf__/fairscheduler.xml
    • spark.proxyserver.hash.enabled=true

Configuration Description

Log in to Manager, choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Service > Spark2x > Configuration, click All Configurations, and search for and modify the following parameters.

Table 1 Parameter description

Parameter

Description

Default Value

spark.thriftserver.proxy.enabled

Specifies whether to use the multi-tenant mode.

  • false: The multi-instance mode is used.
  • true: The multi-tenant mode is used.

true

spark.scheduler.allocation.file

Specifies the fair scheduling file path.

  • If the multi-active instance mode is used, the path is changed to #{conf_dir}/fairscheduler.xml.
  • If multi-tenant mode is used, the path is changed to ./__spark_conf__/__hadoop_conf__/fairscheduler.xml.

./__spark_conf__/__hadoop_conf__/fairscheduler.xml

spark.proxyserver.hash.enabled

Specifies whether to connect to ProxyServer using the Hash algorithm.

  • true indicates using the Hash algorithm. In multi-tenant mode, this parameter must be configured to true.
  • false indicates using random connection. In multi-active instance mode, this parameter must be configured to false.

true

NOTE:

After this parameter is modified, you need to download the client again.
