    ClusterId='string',
    StepIds=[
        'string',
    ]
)
type ClusterId

string

param ClusterId

The ClusterID for which specified steps will be canceled. Use RunJobFlow and ListClusters to get ClusterIDs.

  • Constraints (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    The upper and lower EC2 instance limits for an automatic scaling policy. Automatic scaling activity will not cause an instance group to grow above or below these limits.

    • MinCapacity (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

      The lower boundary of EC2 instances in an instance group below which scaling activities are not allowed to shrink. Scale-in activities will not terminate instances below this boundary.

      The upper boundary of EC2 instances in an instance group beyond which scaling activities are not allowed to grow. Scale-out activities will not add instances beyond this boundary.

  • Rules (list) -- [REQUIRED]

    The scale-in and scale-out rules that comprise the automatic scaling policy.

    • (dict) --

      A scale-in or scale-out rule that defines scaling activity, including the CloudWatch metric alarm that triggers activity, how EC2 instances are added or removed, and the periodicity of adjustments. The automatic scaling policy for an instance group can comprise one or more automatic scaling rules.

      • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The name used to identify an automatic scaling rule. Rule names must be unique within a scaling policy.

      • Description (string) --

        A friendly, more verbose description of the automatic scaling rule.

      • Action (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

        The conditions that trigger an automatic scaling activity.

        • Market (string) --

          Not available for instance groups. Instance groups use the market type specified for the group.

        • SimpleScalingPolicyConfiguration (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

          The type of adjustment the automatic scaling activity makes when triggered, and the periodicity of the adjustment.

          • AdjustmentType (string) --

            The way in which EC2 instances are added (if ScalingAdjustment is a positive number) or terminated (if ScalingAdjustment is a negative number) each time the scaling activity is triggered. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY is the default. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates that the EC2 instance count increments or decrements by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as an integer. PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates the instance count increments or decrements by the percentage specified by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as a decimal, for example, 0.20 indicates an increase in 20% increments of cluster capacity. EXACT_CAPACITY indicates the scaling activity results in an instance group with the number of EC2 instances specified by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as a positive integer.

          • ScalingAdjustment (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

            The amount by which to scale in or scale out, based on the specified AdjustmentType . A positive value adds to the instance group's EC2 instance count while a negative number removes instances. If AdjustmentType is set to EXACT_CAPACITY , the number should only be a positive integer. If AdjustmentType is set to PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY , the value should express the percentage as a decimal. For example, -0.20 indicates a decrease in 20% increments of cluster capacity.

          • CoolDown (integer) --

            The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before any further trigger-related scaling activities can start. The default value is 0.

            The number of periods, expressed in seconds using Period , during which the alarm condition must exist before the alarm triggers automatic scaling activity. The default value is 1 .

          • MetricName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

            The name of the CloudWatch metric that is watched to determine an alarm condition.

          • Namespace (string) --

            The namespace for the CloudWatch metric. The default is AWS/ElasticMapReduce .

          • Period (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

          • Statistic (string) --

            The statistic to apply to the metric associated with the alarm. The default is AVERAGE .

          • Threshold (float) -- [REQUIRED]

            The value against which the specified statistic is compared.

          • Unit (string) --

            The unit of measure associated with the CloudWatch metric being watched. The value specified for Unit must correspond to the units specified in the CloudWatch metric.

          • Dimensions (list) --

            A CloudWatch metric dimension.

            • (dict) --

              A CloudWatch dimension, which is specified using a Key (known as a Name in CloudWatch), Value pair. By default, Amazon EMR uses one dimension whose Key is JobFlowID and Value is a variable representing the cluster ID, which is ${emr:cluster_id} . This enables the rule to bootstrap when the cluster ID becomes available, and also enables a single automatic scaling policy to be reused for multiple clusters and instance groups.

              • Key (string) --

                The dimension name.

        • MaxCapacity (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

          The upper boundary of EC2 instances in an instance group beyond which scaling activities are not allowed to grow. Scale-out activities will not add instances beyond this boundary.

      • Rules (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        The scale-in and scale-out rules that comprise the automatic scaling policy.

        • (dict) --

          A scale-in or scale-out rule that defines scaling activity, including the CloudWatch metric alarm that triggers activity, how EC2 instances are added or removed, and the periodicity of adjustments. The automatic scaling policy for an instance group can comprise one or more automatic scaling rules.

          • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

            The name used to identify an automatic scaling rule. Rule names must be unique within a scaling policy.

              Not available for instance groups. Instance groups use the market type specified for the group.

            • SimpleScalingPolicyConfiguration (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

              The type of adjustment the automatic scaling activity makes when triggered, and the periodicity of the adjustment.

              • AdjustmentType (string) --

                The way in which EC2 instances are added (if ScalingAdjustment is a positive number) or terminated (if ScalingAdjustment is a negative number) each time the scaling activity is triggered. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY is the default. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates that the EC2 instance count increments or decrements by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as an integer. PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates the instance count increments or decrements by the percentage specified by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as a decimal, for example, 0.20 indicates an increase in 20% increments of cluster capacity. EXACT_CAPACITY indicates the scaling activity results in an instance group with the number of EC2 instances specified by ScalingAdjustment , which should be expressed as a positive integer.

              • ScalingAdjustment (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

                The amount by which to scale in or scale out, based on the specified AdjustmentType . A positive value adds to the instance group's EC2 instance count while a negative number removes instances. If AdjustmentType is set to EXACT_CAPACITY , the number should only be a positive integer. If AdjustmentType is set to PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY , the value should express the percentage as a decimal. For example, -0.20 indicates a decrease in 20% increments of cluster capacity.

              • CoolDown (integer) --

                The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before any further trigger-related scaling activities can start. The default value is 0.

          • Trigger (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

            The CloudWatch alarm definition that determines when automatic scaling activity is triggered.

            • CloudWatchAlarmDefinition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

              The definition of a CloudWatch metric alarm. When the defined alarm conditions are met along with other trigger parameters, scaling activity begins.

              • ComparisonOperator (string) -- [REQUIRED]

                Determines how the metric specified by MetricName is compared to the value specified by Threshold .

              • EvaluationPeriods (integer) --

                The number of periods, expressed in seconds using Period , during which the alarm condition must exist before the alarm triggers automatic scaling activity. The default value is 1 .

              • MetricName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

                The name of the CloudWatch metric that is watched to determine an alarm condition.

              • Namespace (string) --

                The namespace for the CloudWatch metric. The default is AWS/ElasticMapReduce .

              • Period (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

                The period, in seconds, over which the statistic is applied. EMR CloudWatch metrics are emitted every five minutes (300 seconds), so if an EMR CloudWatch metric is specified, specify 300 .

              • Statistic (string) --

                The statistic to apply to the metric associated with the alarm. The default is AVERAGE .

              • Threshold (float) -- [REQUIRED]

                The value against which the specified statistic is compared.

              • Unit (string) --

                The unit of measure associated with the CloudWatch metric being watched. The value specified for Unit must correspond to the units specified in the CloudWatch metric.

              • Dimensions (list) --

                A CloudWatch metric dimension.

                • (dict) --

                  A CloudWatch dimension, which is specified using a Key (known as a Name in CloudWatch), Value pair. By default, Amazon EMR uses one dimension whose Key is JobFlowID and Value is a variable representing the cluster ID, which is ${emr:cluster_id} . This enables the rule to bootstrap when the cluster ID becomes available, and also enables a single automatic scaling policy to be reused for multiple clusters and instance groups.

                  • Key (string) --

                    The dimension name.

                  • Value (string) --

        The release label for the Amazon EMR release. For Amazon EMR 3.x and 2.x AMIs, use amiVersion instead instead of ReleaseLabel.

      • AutoTerminate (boolean) --

        Specifies whether the cluster should terminate after completing all steps.

      • TerminationProtected (boolean) --

        Indicates whether Amazon EMR will lock the cluster to prevent the EC2 instances from being terminated by an API call or user intervention, or in the event of a cluster error.

      • VisibleToAllUsers (boolean) --

        Indicates whether the job flow is visible to all IAM users of the AWS account associated with the job flow. If this value is set to true , all IAM users of that AWS account can view and manage the job flow if they have the proper policy permissions set. If this value is false , only the IAM user that created the cluster can view and manage it. This value can be changed using the SetVisibleToAllUsers action.

      • Applications (list) --

        The applications installed on this cluster.

        • (dict) --

          An application is any Amazon or third-party software that you can add to the cluster. This structure contains a list of strings that indicates the software to use with the cluster and accepts a user argument list. Amazon EMR accepts and forwards the argument list to the corresponding installation script as bootstrap action argument. For more information, see Launch a Job Flow on the MapR Distribution for Hadoop. Currently supported values are:

          • "mapr-m3" - launch the job flow using MapR M3 Edition.

          • "mapr-m5" - launch the job flow using MapR M5 Edition.

          • "mapr" with the user arguments specifying "--edition,m3" or "--edition,m5" - launch the job flow using MapR M3 or M5 Edition, respectively.

          Note

          In Amazon EMR releases 4.0 and greater, the only accepted parameter is the application name. To pass arguments to applications, you supply a configuration for each application.

          • Name (string) --

            The name of the application.

          • Version (string) --

            The version of the application.

          • Args (list) --

            Arguments for Amazon EMR to pass to the application.

            • (string) --

          • AdditionalInfo (dict) --

            This option is for advanced users only. This is meta information about third-party applications that third-party vendors use for testing purposes.

            • (string) --

              • (string) --

      • Tags (list) --

        A list of tags associated with a cluster.

        • (dict) --

          A key/value pair containing user-defined metadata that you can associate with an Amazon EMR resource. Tags make it easier to associate clusters in various ways, such as grouping clusters to track your Amazon EMR resource allocation costs. For more information, see Tagging Amazon EMR Resources.

      • ServiceRole (string) --

        The IAM role that will be assumed by the Amazon EMR service to access AWS resources on your behalf.

      • NormalizedInstanceHours (integer) --

        An approximation of the cost of the job flow, represented in m1.small/hours. This value is incremented one time for every hour an m1.small instance runs. Larger instances are weighted more, so an EC2 instance that is roughly four times more expensive would result in the normalized instance hours being incremented by four. This result is only an approximation and does not reflect the actual billing rate.

      • MasterPublicDnsName (string) --

        The public DNS name of the master EC2 instance.

      • Configurations (list) --

        Note

        Amazon EMR releases 4.x or later.

        The list of Configurations supplied to the EMR cluster.

        • (dict) --

          Note

          Amazon EMR releases 4.x or later.

          Specifies a hardware and software configuration of the EMR cluster. This includes configurations for applications and software bundled with Amazon EMR. The Configuration object is a JSON object which is defined by a classification and a set of properties. Configurations can be nested, so a configuration may have its own Configuration objects listed.

          • Classification (string) --

            The classification of a configuration. For more information see, Amazon EMR Configurations.

          • Configurations (list) --

            A list of configurations you apply to this configuration object.

          • Properties (dict) --

            A set of properties supplied to the Configuration object.

            • (string) --

              • (string) --

      • SecurityConfiguration (string) --

        The name of the security configuration applied to the cluster.

      • AutoScalingRole (string) --

        An IAM role for automatic scaling policies. The default role is EMR_AutoScaling_DefaultRole . The IAM role provides permissions that the automatic scaling feature requires to launch and terminate EC2 instances in an instance group.

      • ScaleDownBehavior (string) --

        The way that individual Amazon EC2 instances terminate when an automatic scale-in activity occurs or an instance group is resized. TERMINATE_AT_INSTANCE_HOUR indicates that Amazon EMR terminates nodes at the instance-hour boundary, regardless of when the request to terminate the instance was submitted. This option is only available with Amazon EMR 5.1.0 and later and is the default for clusters created using that version. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION indicates that Amazon EMR blacklists and drains tasks from nodes before terminating the Amazon EC2 instances, regardless of the instance-hour boundary. With either behavior, Amazon EMR removes the least active nodes first and blocks instance termination if it could lead to HDFS corruption. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION is available only in Amazon EMR version 4.1.0 and later, and is the default for versions of Amazon EMR earlier than 5.1.0.

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 EMR can return a maximum of 512 job flow descriptions.

!DANGER!

This operation is deprecated and may not function as expected. This operation should not be used going forward and is only kept for the purpose of backwards compatiblity.

        • ScaleDownBehavior (string) --

          The way that individual Amazon EC2 instances terminate when an automatic scale-in activity occurs or an instance group is resized. TERMINATE_AT_INSTANCE_HOUR indicates that Amazon EMR terminates nodes at the instance-hour boundary, regardless of when the request to terminate the instance was submitted. This option is only available with Amazon EMR 5.1.0 and later and is the default for clusters created using that version. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION indicates that Amazon EMR blacklists and drains tasks from nodes before terminating the Amazon EC2 instances, regardless of the instance-hour boundary. With either behavior, Amazon EMR removes the least active nodes first and blocks instance termination if it could lead to HDFS corruption. TERMINATE_AT_TASK_COMPLETION available only in Amazon EMR version 4.1.0 and later, and is the default for versions of Amazon EMR earlier than 5.1.0.

RunJobFlow creates and starts running a new job flow. The job flow will run the steps specified. After 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 after 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, see Add More than 256 Steps to a Job Flow in the Amazon EMR Management Guide .

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

param Name

[REQUIRED]

The name of the job flow.

type LogUri

string

param LogUri

The location in Amazon S3 to write the log files of the job flow. If a value is not provided, logs are not created.

type AdditionalInfo

string

param AdditionalInfo

A JSON string for selecting additional features.

type AmiVersion

string

param AmiVersion

Note

For Amazon EMR releases 3.x and 2.x. For Amazon EMR releases 4.x and greater, use ReleaseLabel.

The version of the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to use when launching Amazon EC2 instances in the job flow. The following values are valid:

  • The version number of the AMI to use, for example, "2.0."

If the AMI supports multiple versions of Hadoop (for example, AMI 1.0 supports both Hadoop 0.18 and 0.20) you can use the JobFlowInstancesConfig HadoopVersion parameter to modify the version of Hadoop from the defaults shown above.

For details about the AMI versions currently supported by Amazon Elastic MapReduce, see AMI Versions Supported in Elastic MapReduce in the Amazon Elastic MapReduce Developer Guide.

Note

Previously, the EMR AMI version API parameter options allowed you to use latest for the latest AMI version rather than specify a numerical value. Some regions no longer support this deprecated option as they only have a newer release label version of EMR, which requires you to specify an EMR release label release (EMR 4.x or later).

type ReleaseLabel

string

param ReleaseLabel

Note

Amazon EMR releases 4.x or later.

The release label for the Amazon EMR release. For Amazon EMR 3.x and 2.x AMIs, use amiVersion instead instead of ReleaseLabel.
