Appendix A: AWS Glue job pattern codes for testing
This appendix introduces three completely different scripts as AWS Glue job pattern codes for testing functions. You should use any of them within the tutorial.
The next pattern.py code makes use of the AWS Glue ETL library with an Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3) API name. The code requires Amazon S3 permissions in AWS Identification and Entry Administration (IAM). You should grant the IAM-managed coverage arn:aws:iam::aws:coverage/AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess or IAM customized coverage that means that you can make ListBucket and GetObject API requires the S3 path.
The next test_sample.py code is a pattern for a unit take a look at of pattern.py:
Appendix B: Including JDBC drivers and Java libraries
So as to add a JDBC driver not at present accessible within the container, you’ll be able to create a brand new listing underneath your workspace with the JAR recordsdata you want and mount the listing to /decide/spark/jars/ within the docker run command. JAR recordsdata discovered underneath /decide/spark/jars/ inside the container are mechanically added to Spark Classpath and might be accessible to be used throughout the job run.
For instance, you need to use the next docker run command so as to add JDBC driver jars to a PySpark REPL shell:
As highlighted earlier, the customJdbcDriverS3Path connection choice can’t be used to import a customized JDBC driver from Amazon S3 in AWS Glue container pictures.
Appendix C: Including Livy and JupyterLab
