For example, /data1/k8s,/data2/k8s,/data3/k8s mounts three hostPath volumes created from three local directories of the node where ContainerWorker Pods are to run. These volumes become local directories where intermediate data is written.
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.additional.hostpaths Comma-separated list of additional directories (on each node) to which hostPath volumes point for ContainerWorkers
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.node.selector Comma-separated list of node selectors for ContainerWorker Pods (e.g., workernode=true,hivemr3=true)
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.toleration.specs Comma-separated list of toleration specifications for ContainerWorker Pods. The format of each entry is [key]:[operator]:[value]:[effect]:[toleration in seconds] where [value] and :[toleration in seconds] are optional.
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.node.affinity.specs Comma-separated list of node affinity specifications for ContainerWorker Pods. The format of each entry is [key]:[operator]:[value#1]:...:[value#N] (e.g., key1:In:value1:value2:value3). Internally MR3 uses requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution.
mr3.k8s.worker.working.dir Working directory for ContainerWorker containers
mr3.k8s.java.io.tmpdir /tmp Temporary directory for Java in ContainerWorker containers
mr3.k8s.worker.command /usr/bin/java Command for launching Java VM for ContainerWorker containers
mr3.k8s.worker.total.max.memory.gb 1048576 Max memory in GB for all ContainerWorker Pods
mr3.k8s.worker.total.max.cpu.cores 1048576 Max number of cores for all ContainerWorker Pods
mr3.k8s.pod.cpu.cores.max.multiplier 1.0 Multiplier for the limit of CPU cores for each ContainerWorker Pod. For example, a value of 2.0 means that the CPU limit of a ContainerWorker Pod is twice its CPU request.
mr3.k8s.pod.memory.max.multiplier 1.0 Multiplier for the limit of memory for each ContainerWorker Pod. For example, a value of 2.0 means that the memory limit of a ContainerWorker Pod is twice its memory request. We do not recommend a value of larger than 1.0 unless every node has more memory than needed (because ContainerWorker Pods may be killed).
mr3.k8s.conf.dir.configmap Name of the ConfigMap carrying all configuration files (such as mr3-site.xml)
mr3.k8s.conf.dir.mount.dir Mount path for the ConfigMap carrying all configuration files
mr3.k8s.keytab.secret Name of the Secret (containing the Keytab file) to be used by DAGAppMaster
mr3.k8s.worker.secret Name of the Secret to be used by ContainerWorkers
mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.dir Mount path for the Secret in DAGAppMaster (containing the keytab file) and in ContainerWorkers
mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.file File name for the Secret containing the keytab file. mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.dir and mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.file specify the full path for the keytab file mounted inside ContainerWorker Pods.
mr3.k8s.mount.keytab.secret false true: mount mr3.k8s.keytab.secret to mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.dir. false: do not mount. Set to true when: 1) mr3.token.renewal.hdfs.enabled is set to true; 2) mr3.token.renewal.hive.enabled is set to true; 3) secure shuffle is used (tez.runtime.shuffle.ssl.enable is set to true in tez-site.xml) so as to pass keystore and truststore files.
mr3.k8s.mount.worker.secret false true: mount mr3.k8s.worker.secret to mr3.k8s.keytab.mount.dir. false: do not mount. Set to true when secure shuffle is used (tez.runtime.shuffle.ssl.enable is set to true in tez-site.xml) so as to pass keystore and truststore files.
mr3.k8s.host.aliases Comma-separated list of pairs of a hostname and an IP address. For example, foo=1.1.1.1,bar=2.2.2.2 registers host foo as IP address 1.1.1.1 in DAGAppMaster and ContainerWorker Pods, and so on. For more details, see Performance Tuning for Kubernetes.
mr3.k8s.shuffle.process.ports Comma-separated list of port numbers for shuffle handlers. For example, 15500,15510,15520,15530,15540 creates 5 shuffle handlers with port number 15500 to 15540. For more details, see Using the MR3 Shuffle Handler.
mr3.k8s.shufflehandler.process.memory.mb 1024 Size of memory in MB for the container for shuffle handlers
mr3.k8s.readiness.probe.initial.delay.secs 10 Time in seconds before performing the first readiness probe
mr3.k8s.readiness.probe.period.secs 20 Time interval in seconds for performing the readiness probe
mr3.k8s.liveness.probe.initial.delay.secs 20 Time in seconds before performing the first liveness probe
mr3.k8s.liveness.probe.period.secs 40 Time interval in seconds for performing the liveness probe
Name Default value Description
mr3.k8s.master.persistentvolumeclaim.mounts Comma-separated list of pairs of a PersistentVolumeClaim and its mount point for DAGAppMaster Pod
mr3.k8s.worker.persistentvolumeclaim.mounts Comma-separated list of pairs of a PersistentVolumeClaim and its mount point. For example, foo1=bar1,foo2=bar2,foo3=bar3 mounts PersistentVolumeClaim foo1 on directory bar1 in ContainerWorker Pods, and so on.
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.security.context.sysctls Comma-separated list of sysctl properties to be set by an init container in a ContainerWorker Pod. Example: net.core.somaxconn=16384,net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range='1024 65535'. For more details, see Configuring Kernel Parameters.
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.init.container.command Shell command to be executed by an init container in a ContainerWorker Pod. Before executing the shell command, the init container mounts hostPath volumes specified by mr3.k8s.pod.worker.hostpaths. Example: chown 1000:1000 /data1/k8s/; ls -alt /data1/k8s.
mr3.k8s.pod.worker.init.container.image Docker image for init containers when mr3.k8s.pod.worker.security.context.sysctls is set. busybox works okay.

Spark on MR3

Name Default value Description
mr3.spark.delay.scheduling.interval.ms 1000 Time interval in milliseconds of checking delay scheduling
mr3.dag.queue.scheme common Scheme for mapping DAGs to queues of TaskAttempts in TaskScheduler. Available options: common (corresponding to Spark FIFO scheme), individual (corresponding to Spark FAIR scheme). Can be set for individual Spark applications.
mr3.dag.priority.scheme fifo fifo: use Spark job priorities for DAG priorities. concurrent: assign the same priority to all DAGs. Not set for individual DAGs.
mr3.taskattempt.queue.scheme opt Scheme for managing the queue of TaskAttempts in TaskScheduler. Available option: opt (implementing delay scheduling).
mr3.vertex.priority.scheme normalize intact: use Spark stage IDs for Vertex priorities. normalize: set Vertex priorties to 0. Not set for individual DAGs.
