Method Detail

setEndpoint

void setEndpoint(String endpoint)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("https://elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=3912

This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://elasticmapreduce.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If any problems are detected with the specified endpoint.

setRegion

void setRegion(Region region)
               throws IllegalArgumentException

An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol. To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration supplied at construction.

This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.

Parameters:

region - The region this client will communicate with. See Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions) for accessing a given region.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the given region is null, or if this service isn't available in the given region. See Region.isServiceSupported(String)

                                             AmazonClientException

AddJobFlowSteps adds new steps to a running job flow. A maximum of 256 steps are allowed in each job flow.

If your job flow is long-running (such as a Hive data warehouse) or complex, you may require more than 256 steps to process your data. You can bypass the 256-step limitation in various ways, including using the SSH shell to connect to the master node and submitting queries directly to the software running on the master node, such as Hive and Hadoop. For more information on how to do this, go to Add More than 256 Steps to a Job Flow in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer's Guide .

A step specifies the location of a JAR file stored either on the master node of the job flow or in Amazon S3. Each step is performed by the main function of the main class of the JAR file. The main class can be specified either in the manifest of the JAR or by using the MainFunction parameter of the step.

Elastic MapReduce executes each step in the order listed. For a step to be considered complete, the main function must exit with a zero exit code and all Hadoop jobs started while the step was running must have completed and run successfully.

You can only add steps to a job flow that is in one of the following states: STARTING, BOOTSTRAPPING, RUNNING, or WAITING.

Parameters:

addJobFlowStepsRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the AddJobFlowSteps service method on AmazonElasticMapReduce.

Returns:

The response from the AddJobFlowSteps service method, as returned by AmazonElasticMapReduce.

void terminateJobFlows(TerminateJobFlowsRequest terminateJobFlowsRequest)
                       throws AmazonServiceException,
                              AmazonClientException

TerminateJobFlows shuts a list of job flows down. When a job flow is shut down, any step not yet completed is canceled and the EC2 instances on which the job flow is running are stopped. Any log files not already saved are uploaded to Amazon S3 if a LogUri was specified when the job flow was created.

The maximum number of JobFlows allowed is 10. The call to TerminateJobFlows is asynchronous. Depending on the configuration of the job flow, it may take up to 5-20 minutes for the job flow to completely terminate and release allocated resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances.

Parameters:

terminateJobFlowsRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the TerminateJobFlows service method on AmazonElasticMapReduce.

Throws:

InternalServerErrorException

AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonElasticMapReduce indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

setTerminationProtection

void setTerminationProtection(SetTerminationProtectionRequest setTerminationProtectionRequest)

                                     AmazonClientException

SetTerminationProtection locks a job flow so the Amazon EC2 instances in the cluster cannot be terminated by user intervention, an API call, or in the event of a job-flow error. The cluster still terminates upon successful completion of the job flow. Calling SetTerminationProtection on a job flow is analogous to calling the Amazon EC2 DisableAPITermination API on all of the EC2 instances in a cluster.

SetTerminationProtection is used to prevent accidental termination of a job flow and to ensure that in the event of an error, the instances will persist so you can recover any data stored in their ephemeral instance storage.

To terminate a job flow that has been locked by setting SetTerminationProtection to true , you must first unlock the job flow by a subsequent call to SetTerminationProtection in which you set the value to false .

For more information, go to Protecting a Job Flow from Termination in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer's Guide.

Parameters:

setTerminationProtectionRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the SetTerminationProtection service method on AmazonElasticMapReduce.

Throws:

InternalServerErrorException

AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonElasticMapReduce indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

describeJobFlows

@Deprecated

                                               AmazonClientException

Deprecated.

This API is deprecated and will eventually be removed. We recommend you use ListClusters, DescribeCluster, ListSteps, ListInstanceGroups and ListBootstrapActions instead.

DescribeJobFlows returns a list of job flows that match all of the supplied parameters. The parameters can include a list of job flow IDs, job flow states, and restrictions on job flow creation date and time.

Regardless of supplied parameters, only job flows created within the last two months are returned.

If no parameters are supplied, then job flows matching either of the following criteria are returned:

• Job flows created and completed in the last two weeks
• Job flows created within the last two months that are in one of the following states: RUNNING , WAITING , SHUTTING_DOWN , STARTING

Amazon Elastic MapReduce can return a maximum of 512 job flow descriptions.

Parameters:

describeJobFlowsRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the DescribeJobFlows service method on AmazonElasticMapReduce.

Returns:

The response from the DescribeJobFlows service method, as returned by AmazonElasticMapReduce.

Throws:

InternalServerErrorException

AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonElasticMapReduce indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.

runJobFlow

RunJobFlowResult runJobFlow(RunJobFlowRequest runJobFlowRequest)

                                   AmazonClientException

RunJobFlow creates and starts running a new job flow. The job flow will run the steps specified. Once the job flow completes, the cluster is stopped and the HDFS partition is lost. To prevent loss of data, configure the last step of the job flow to store results in Amazon S3. If the JobFlowInstancesConfig KeepJobFlowAliveWhenNoSteps parameter is set to TRUE , the job flow will transition to the WAITING state rather than shutting down once the steps have completed.

For additional protection, you can set the JobFlowInstancesConfig TerminationProtected parameter to TRUE to lock the job flow and prevent it from being terminated by API call, user intervention, or in the event of a job flow error.

A maximum of 256 steps are allowed in each job flow.

If your job flow is long-running (such as a Hive data warehouse) or complex, you may require more than 256 steps to process your data. You can bypass the 256-step limitation in various ways, including using the SSH shell to connect to the master node and submitting queries directly to the software running on the master node, such as Hive and Hadoop. For more information on how to do this, go to Add More than 256 Steps to a Job Flow in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer's Guide .

For long running job flows, we recommend that you periodically store your results.

getCachedResponseMetadata

ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)

Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.

Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing a request.

Parameters:

request - The originally executed request.

Returns:

The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
