Apache Nemo is an official runner of Apache Beam, and it can be executed from Beam, using NemoRunner, as well as directly from the Nemo project. The details of using NemoRunner from Beam is shown on the NemoRunner page of the Apache Beam website. Below describes how Beam applications can be run directly on Nemo.

• -job_id: ID of the Beam job
• -user_main: Canonical name of the Beam application
• -user_args: Arguments that the Beam application accepts
• -optimization_policy: Canonical name of the optimization policy to apply to a job DAG in Nemo Compiler
• -deploy_mode: yarn is supported(default value is local)

## WordCount example from the Beam website (Count words from a document)
$ ./bin/run_beam.sh \
    -job_id beam_wordcount \
    -optimization_policy org.apache.nemo.compiler.optimizer.policy.DefaultPolicy \
    -user_main org.apache.nemo.examples.beam.BeamWordCount \
    -user_args "--runner=NemoRunner --inputFile=`pwd`/examples/resources/inputs/test_input_wordcount --output=`pwd`/outputs/wordcount"
$ less `pwd`/outputs/wordcount*

## MapReduce WordCount example (Count words from the Wikipedia dataset)
$ ./bin/run_beam.sh \
    -job_id mr_default \
    -executor_json `pwd`/examples/resources/executors/beam_test_executor_resources.json \
    -optimization_policy org.apache.nemo.compiler.optimizer.policy.DefaultPolicy \
    -user_main org.apache.nemo.examples.beam.WordCount \
    -user_args "`pwd`/examples/resources/inputs/test_input_wordcount `pwd`/outputs/wordcount"
$ less `pwd`/outputs/wordcount*

## YARN cluster example
$ ./bin/run_beam.sh \
    -deploy_mode yarn \
    -job_id mr_transient \
    -executor_json `pwd`/examples/resources/executors/beam_test_executor_resources.json \
    -user_main org.apache.nemo.examples.beam.WordCount \
    -optimization_policy org.apache.nemo.compiler.optimizer.policy.TransientResourcePolicy \
    -user_args "hdfs://v-m:9000/test_input_wordcount hdfs://v-m:9000/test_output_wordcount"

## NEXMark streaming Q0 (query0) example
$ ./bin/run_nexmark.sh \
    -job_id nexmark-Q0 \
    -executor_json `pwd`/examples/resources/executors/beam_test_executor_resources.json \
    -user_main org.apache.beam.sdk.nexmark.Main \
    -optimization_policy org.apache.nemo.compiler.optimizer.policy.StreamingPolicy \
    -scheduler_impl_class_name org.apache.nemo.runtime.master.scheduler.StreamingScheduler \
    -user_args "--runner=NemoRunner --streaming=true --query=0 --numEventGenerators=1 --manageResources=false --monitorJobs=false"

-executor_json command line option can be used to provide a path to the JSON file that describes resource configuration for executors. Its default value is config/default.json, which initializes one of each Transient, Reserved, and Compute executor, each of which has one core and 1024MB memory.

• num (optional): Number of containers. Default value is 1
• type: Three container types are supported:
  • Transient : Containers that store eviction-prone resources. When batch jobs use idle resources in Transient containers, they can be arbitrarily evicted when latency-critical jobs attempt to use the resources.
  • Reserved : Containers that store eviction-free resources. Reserved containers are used to reliably store intermediate data which have high eviction cost.
  • Compute : Containers that are mainly used for computation.
• memory_mb: Memory size in MB
• capacity: Number of Tasks that can be run in an executor. Set this value to be the same as the number of CPU cores of the container.

[
  {
    "num": 12,
    "type": "Transient",
    "memory_mb": 1024,
    "capacity": 4
  },
  {
    "type": "Reserved",
    "memory_mb": 1024,
    "capacity": 2
  }
]

This example configuration specifies

• 12 transient containers with 4 cores and 1024MB memory each
• 1 reserved container with 2 cores and 1024MB memory

Please refer to the instructions at web-ui/README.md to run the frontend.

While Nemo driver is alive, it can post runtime metrics through websocket. At your frontend, add websocket endpoint

ws://<DRIVER>:10101/api/websocket

where <DRIVER> is the hostname that Nemo driver runs.

OR, you can directly run the WebUI on the driver using bin/run_webserver.sh, where it looks for the websocket on its local machine, which, by default, provides the address at

http://<DRIVER>:3333

On job completion, the Nemo driver creates metric.json at the directory specified by -dag_dir option. At your frontend, add the JSON file to do post-job analysis.

Other JSON files are for legacy Web UI, hosted here. It uses Graphviz to visualize IR DAGs and execution plans.

$ ./bin/run_beam.sh \
    -job_id als \
    -executor_json `pwd`/examples/resources/executors/beam_test_executor_resources.json \
    -user_main org.apache.nemo.examples.beam.AlternatingLeastSquare \
    -optimization_policy org.apache.nemo.compiler.optimizer.policy.TransientResourcePolicy \
    -dag_dir "./dag/als" \
    -user_args "`pwd`/examples/resources/inputs/test_input_als 10 3"

• -db_enabled: Whether or not to turn on the DB (true or false).
• -db_address: Address of the DB. (ex. PostgreSQL DB starts with jdbc:postgresql://...)
• -db_id : ID of the DB from the given address.
• -db_password: Credentials for the DB from the given address.
