Configure Authentication for Spark on YARN
As of Spark 1.5.2-1603 and Spark 1.6.1-1604, when the cluster is secure, authentication via a shared secret is enabled by default between all of the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes. When authentication is enabled, authentication keys are randomly generated for each job. When the cluster is not secure or for previous versions of Spark, complete the following step to manually configure authentication.

      - Configure MapR Client Node to Run Spark Applications
        When Spark runs on YARN, MapR client nodes require the hadoop-yarn-server-web-proxy JAR file to run Spark applications. A MapR client node (a node with the mapr-client package, but without mapr-core packages) is also known as an edge node.

        Configure Authentication for Spark on YARN
        As of Spark 1.5.2-1603 and Spark 1.6.1-1604, when the cluster is secure, authentication via a shared secret is enabled by default between all of the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes. When authentication is enabled, authentication keys are randomly generated for each job.

        Configure SSL Encryption for Spark on YARN
        As of Spark 1.5.2-1605 and Spark 1.6.1-1605, encryption between all the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes is disabled by default. In Spark 1.5.2-1603 and 1.6.1-1604, when the cluster is secure, encryption between all of the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes is enabled by default using the TLS v1.2 protocol. Complete the following step to manually configure encryption.
        Configure SASL Encryption for Spark on YARN
        As of Spark 1.6.1-1605, when the cluster is secure, SASL encryption between all the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes is enabled by default. When the cluster is not secure or for previous versions of Spark, complete the following steps to manually enable SASL encryption.

    Apache Spark is an open-source processing engine that you can use to process Hadoop data. Although MapR does not yet ship a Spark 2.0.0 package, you can install and use Spark 2.0.0 on a non-secure MapR 5.1 cluster or on a secure MapR 5.1 cluster that uses MapR-SASL authentication.

Configure Authentication for Spark on YARN

As of Spark 1.5.2-1603 and Spark 1.6.1-1604, when the cluster is secure, authentication via a shared secret is enabled by default between all of the SparkMaster and SparkWorker nodes. When authentication is enabled, authentication keys are randomly generated for each job. When the cluster is not secure or for previous versions of Spark, complete the following step to manually configure authentication.

About this task

Procedure

Configure the following property in the spark-defaults.conf file on each spark node:

spark.authenticate true

The spark-defaults.conf file is in the following location: /opt/mapr/spark/spark-<version>/conf/
