Configure Tez

Perform the following steps to configure Tez for your Hadoop cluster:

  1. Create a tez-site.xml configuration file and place it in the /etc/tez/conf configuration directory. A sample tez-site.xml file is included in the configuration_files/tez folder in the HDP companion files.

  2. Create the $TEZ_CONF_DIR environment variable and set it to to the location of the tez-site.xml file.

    export TEZ_CONF_DIR=/etc/tez/conf
  3. Create the $TEZ_JARS environment variable and set it to the location of the Tez .jar files and their dependencies.

    export TEZ_JARS=/usr/hdp/current/tez-client/*:/usr/hdp/current/tez-client/lib/*
  4. In the tez-site.xml file, configure the tez.lib.uris property with the HDFS path containing the Tez tarball file.

    ...
    <property>
         <name>tez.lib.uris</name>
         <value>/hdp/apps/<hdp_version>/tez/tez.tar.gz</value>
    </property>
    ...

    Where <hdp_version> is the current HDP version, such as 2.2.9.0.

  5. Add $TEZ_CONF_DIR and $TEZ_JARS to the $HADOOP_CLASSPATH environment variable.

    export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$TEZ_CONF_DIR:$TEZ_JARS:$HADOOP_CLASSPATH

Table 8.1. Tez Configuration Parameters

Configuration Parameter

Description

Default Value

tez.lib.uris

Comma-delimited list of the location of the Tez libraries which will be localized for DAGs. Specifying a single .tar.gz or .tgz assumes that a compressed version of the tez libs is being used. This is uncompressed into a tezlibs directory when running containers, and tezlibs/;tezlibs/lib/ are added to the classpath (after . and .*). If multiple files are specified - files are localized as regular files, contents of directories are localized as regular files (non-recursive).

/hdp/apps/<hdp_version>/tez/tez.tar.gz

tez.use.cluster.hadoop-libs

Specifies whether Tez will use the cluster Hadoop libraries. This property should not be set in tez-site.xml, or if it is set, the value should be false.

false

tez.cluster.additional.classpath.prefix

Specify additional classpath information to be used for Tez AM and all containers. This will be prepended to the classpath before all framework specific components have been specified.

/usr/hdp/${hdp.version}/hadoop/lib/hadoop-lzo-0.6.0.${hdp.version}.jar:/etc/hadoop/conf/secure

tez.am.log.level

Root logging level passed to the Tez Application Master.

INFO

tez.generate.debug.artifacts

Generates debug artifacts such as a text representation of the submitted DAG plan.

false

tez.staging-dir

The staging directory used while submitting DAGs.

/tmp/${user.name}/staging

tez.am.resource.memory.mb

The amount of memory to be used by the AppMaster. Used only if the value is not specified explicitly by the DAG definition.

TODO-CALCULATE-MEMORY-SETTINGS (place-holder for calculated value) Example value:1536

tez.am.launch.cluster-default.cmd-opts

Cluster default Java options for the Tez AppMaster process. These will be prepended to the properties specified with tez.am.launch.cmd-opts.

Note: this property should only be set by administrators -- it should not be used by non-administrative users.

-server -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dhdp.version=${hdp.version}

tez.task.resource.memory.mb

The amount of memory to be used by launched tasks. Used only if the value is not specified explicitly by the DAG definition.

1024

tez.task.launch.cluster-default.cmd-opts

Cluster default Java options for tasks. These will be prepended to the properties specified with tez.task.launch.cmd-opts

Note: this property should only be set by administrators -- it should not be used by non-administrative users.

-server -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dhdp.version=${hdp.version}

tez.task.launch.cmd-opts

Java options for tasks. The Xmx value is derived based on tez.task.resource.memory.mb and is 80% of this value by default. Used only if the value is not specified explicitly by the DAG definition.

-XX:+PrintGCDetails -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+UseNUMA -XX:+UseParallelGC

tez.task.launch.env

Additional execution environment entries for tez. This is not an additive property. You must preserve the original value if you want to have access to native libraries. Used only if the value is not specified explicitly by the DAG definition.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/hdp/${hdp.version}/hadoop/lib/native:/usr/hdp/${hdp.version}/hadoop/lib/native/Linux-amd64-64<

tez.am.grouping.max-size

Specifies the upper size limit of the primary input to each task when the Tez Application Master determines the parallelism of primary input reading tasks. This configuration property prevents input tasks from being too large, which prevents their parallelism from being too small.

1073741824

tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.min-src-fraction

In case of a ScatterGather connection, the fraction of source tasks which should complete before tasks for the current vertex are scheduled.

0.2

tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.max-src-fraction

In case of a ScatterGather connection, once this fraction of source tasks have completed, all tasks on the current vertex can be scheduled. Number of tasks ready for scheduling on the current vertex scales linearly between min-fraction and max-fraction.

0.4

tez.am.am-rm.heartbeat.interval-ms.max

The maximum heartbeat interval between the AM and RM in milliseconds.

250

tez.grouping.split-waves

The multiplier for available queue capacity when determining number of tasks for a Vertex. When set to its default value of 1.7 with 100% queue available implies generating a number of tasks roughly equal to 170% of the available containers on the queue.

1.7

tez.grouping.min-size

Lower size limit (in bytes) of a grouped split, to avoid generating too many splits.

16777216

The minimum amount of time to hold on to a container that is idle. Only active when reuse is enabled.

There are no additional steps required to secure Tez if your cluster is already configured for security.
