CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend is an executor:ExecutorBackend.md[] that controls the lifecycle of a single <> and sends <> to the driver.

.CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Sending Task Status Updates to Driver's CoarseGrainedScheduler Endpoint image::CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend-statusUpdate.png[align="center"]

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend is a rpc:RpcEndpoint.md#ThreadSafeRpcEndpoint[ThreadSafeRpcEndpoint] that <> (before accepting <>) and <>.

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend is started in a resource container (as a <>).

When <>, CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend <> to communicate with the driver (with DriverEndpoint).

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Communicates with Driver's CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend Endpoint

When <>, CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend immediately connects to the owning scheduler:CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.md[CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend] to inform that it is ready to launch tasks.

[[messages]] .CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend's RPC Messages [width="100%",cols="1,2",options="header"] |=== | Message | Description

<>

| <> | Forwards launch task requests from the driver to the single managed coarse-grained <>.

| <> | Creates the single managed <>.

Sent exclusively when CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend scheduler:CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.md#RegisterExecutor[receives RegisterExecutor].

== [[LaunchTask]] Forwarding Launch Task Request to Executor (from Driver) -- LaunchTask Message Handler

[source, scala]

LaunchTask(data: SerializableBuffer) extends CoarseGrainedClusterMessage

NOTE: CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend acts as a proxy between the driver and the managed single <> and merely re-packages LaunchTask payload (as serialized data) to pass it along for execution.

LaunchTask first decodes TaskDescription from data. You should see the following INFO message in the logs:

INFO CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Got assigned task [id]

LaunchTask then executor:Executor.md#launchTask[launches the task on the executor] (passing itself as the owning executor:ExecutorBackend.md[] and decoded TaskDescription).

If <> is not available, LaunchTask <> with the error code 1 and ExecutorLossReason with the following message:

Received LaunchTask command but executor was null

NOTE: LaunchTask is sent when CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend is requested to launch tasks (one LaunchTask per task).

== [[statusUpdate]] Sending Task Status Updates to Driver -- statusUpdate Method

[source, scala]

statusUpdate(taskId: Long, state: TaskState, data: ByteBuffer): Unit

NOTE: statusUpdate is part of executor:ExecutorBackend.md#statusUpdate[ExecutorBackend Contract] to send task status updates to a scheduler (on the driver).

statusUpdate creates a StatusUpdate (with the input taskId, state, and data together with the <>) and sends it to the <> (if connected already).

.CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Sending Task Status Updates to Driver's CoarseGrainedScheduler Endpoint image::CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend-statusUpdate.png[align="center"]

When no <> is available, you should see the following WARN message in the logs:

WARN Drop [msg] because has not yet connected to driver

== [[driverURL]] Driver's URL

The driver's URL is of the format spark://[RpcEndpoint name]@[hostname]:[port], e.g. spark://CoarseGrainedScheduler@192.168.1.6:64859.

== [[main]] Launching CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Standalone Application (in Resource Container)

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend is a standalone application (i.e. comes with main entry method) that parses <> and <> to communicate with the driver.

[[command-line-arguments]] .CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Command-Line Arguments [cols="1,^1,2",options="header",width="100%"] |=== | Argument | Required? | Description

| [[driver-url]] --driver-url | yes | Driver's URL. See <>

| [[executor-id]] --executor-id | yes | Executor id

| [[hostname]] --hostname | yes | Host name

| [[cores]] --cores | yes | Number of cores (that must be greater than 0).

| [[app-id]] --app-id | yes | Application id

| [[worker-url]] --worker-url | no | Worker's URL, e.g. spark://Worker@192.168.1.6:64557

NOTE: --worker-url is only used in spark-standalone-StandaloneSchedulerBackend.md[Spark Standalone] to enforce fate-sharing with the worker.

| [[user-class-path]] --user-class-path | no | User-defined class path entry which can be an URL or path to a resource (often a jar file) to be added to CLASSPATH; can be specified multiple times.

|===

When executed with unrecognized command-line arguments or required arguments are missing, main shows the usage help and exits (with exit status 1).

[source]

$ ./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.executor.CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend

Usage: CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend [options]

Options are: --driver-url --executor-id --hostname --cores --app-id --worker-url --user-class-path

main is used when:

  • (Spark Standalone) StandaloneSchedulerBackend is requested to spark-standalone:StandaloneSchedulerBackend.md#start[start]

  • (Spark on YARN) ExecutorRunnable is requested to spark-on-yarn:spark-yarn-ExecutorRunnable.md#run[start] (in a YARN resource container).

  • (Spark on Mesos) MesosCoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend is requested to spark-on-mesos:spark-mesos-MesosCoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.md#createCommand[launch Spark executors]

== [[run]] Starting CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend

[source, scala]

run( driverUrl: String, executorId: String, hostname: String, cores: Int, appId: String, workerUrl: Option[String], userClassPath: scala.Seq[URL]): Unit

When executed, run executes Utils.initDaemon(log).

CAUTION: FIXME What does initDaemon do?

NOTE: run spark-SparkHadoopUtil.md#runAsSparkUser[runs itself with a Hadoop UserGroupInformation] (as a thread local variable distributed to child threads for authenticating HDFS and YARN calls).

NOTE: run expects a clear hostname with no : included (for a port perhaps).

[[run-driverPropsFetcher]] run uses executor:Executor.md#spark_executor_port[spark.executor.port] Spark property (or 0 if not set) for the port to rpc:index.md#create[create a RpcEnv] called driverPropsFetcher (together with the input hostname and clientMode enabled).

run rpc:index.md#setupEndpointRefByURI[resolves RpcEndpointRef for the input driverUrl] and requests SparkAppConfig (by posting a blocking RetrieveSparkAppConfig).

IMPORTANT: This is the first moment when CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend initiates communication with the driver available at driverUrl through RpcEnv.

run uses SparkAppConfig to get the driver's sparkProperties and adds SparkConf.md#spark.app.id[spark.app.id] Spark property with the value of the input appId.

run rpc:index.md#shutdown[shuts driverPropsFetcher RPC Endpoint down].

run creates a SparkConf.md[SparkConf] using the Spark properties fetched from the driver, i.e. with the SparkConf.md#isExecutorStartupConf[executor-related Spark settings] if they SparkConf.md#setIfMissing[were missing] and the SparkConf.md#set[rest unconditionally].

If yarn/spark-yarn-settings.md#spark.yarn.credentials.file[spark.yarn.credentials.file] Spark property is defined in SparkConf, you should see the following INFO message in the logs:

INFO Will periodically update credentials from: [spark.yarn.credentials.file]

run spark-SparkHadoopUtil.md#startCredentialUpdater[requests the current SparkHadoopUtil to start start the credential updater].

NOTE: run uses spark-SparkHadoopUtil.md#get[SparkHadoopUtil.get] to access the current SparkHadoopUtil.

run core:SparkEnv.md#createExecutorEnv[creates SparkEnv for executors] (with the input executorId, hostname and cores, and isLocal disabled).

IMPORTANT: This is the moment when SparkEnv gets created with all the executor services.

run rpc:index.md#setupEndpoint[sets up an RPC endpoint] with the name Executor and <> as the endpoint.

(only in Spark Standalone) If the optional input workerUrl was defined, run sets up an RPC endpoint with the name WorkerWatcher and WorkerWatcher RPC endpoint.

[NOTE]

The optional input workerUrl is defined only when <--worker-url command-line argument>> was used to <>.

--worker-url is only used in spark-standalone-StandaloneSchedulerBackend.md[Spark Standalone].

run's main thread is blocked until rpc:index.md#awaitTermination[RpcEnv terminates] and only the RPC endpoints process RPC messages.

Once RpcEnv has terminated, run spark-SparkHadoopUtil.md#stopCredentialUpdater[stops the credential updater].

CAUTION: FIXME Think of the place for Utils.initDaemon, Utils.getProcessName et al.

run is used when CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend standalone application is <>.

== [[creating-instance]] Creating CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Instance

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend takes the following when created:

. [[rpcEnv]] rpc:index.md[RpcEnv] . driverUrl . [[executorId]] executorId . hostname . cores . userClassPath . core:SparkEnv.md[SparkEnv]

NOTE: driverUrl, executorId, hostname, cores and userClassPath correspond to CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend standalone application's <>.

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend initializes the <>.

NOTE: CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend is created (to act as an RPC endpoint) when <Executor RPC endpoint is registered>>.

== [[onStart]] Registering with Driver -- onStart Method

[source, scala]

onStart(): Unit

NOTE: onStart is part of rpc:RpcEndpoint.md#onStart[RpcEndpoint contract] that is executed before a RPC endpoint starts accepting messages.

When executed, you should see the following INFO message in the logs:

INFO CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Connecting to driver: [driverUrl]

NOTE: <> is given when <>.

onStart then rpc:index.md#asyncSetupEndpointRefByURI[takes the RpcEndpointRef of the driver asynchronously] and initializes the internal <> property. onStart sends a blocking scheduler:CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend.md#RegisterExecutor[RegisterExecutor] message immediately (with <>, rpc:RpcEndpointRef.md[RpcEndpointRef] to itself, <>, <> and <>).

In case of failures, onStart <> with the error code 1 and the reason (and no notification to the driver):

Cannot register with driver: [driverUrl]

== [[RegisteredExecutor]] Creating Single Managed Executor -- RegisteredExecutor Message Handler

[source, scala]

RegisteredExecutor extends CoarseGrainedClusterMessage with RegisterExecutorResponse

When RegisteredExecutor is received, you should see the following INFO in the logs:

INFO CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Successfully registered with driver

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend executor:Executor.md#creating-instance[creates a Executor] (with isLocal disabled) that becomes the single managed <>.

NOTE: CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend uses executorId, hostname, env, userClassPath to create the Executor that are specified when CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend <>.

If creating the Executor fails with a non-fatal exception, RegisteredExecutor <> with the reason:

Unable to create executor due to [message]

NOTE: RegisteredExecutor is sent when CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend RPC Endpoint receives a RegisterExecutor (that is sent right before CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend RPC Endpoint <> which happens when CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend <>).

== [[RegisterExecutorFailed]] RegisterExecutorFailed

[source, scala]

RegisterExecutorFailed(message)

When a RegisterExecutorFailed message arrives, the following ERROR is printed out to the logs:

ERROR CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Slave registration failed: [message]

CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend then exits with the exit code 1.

== [[KillTask]] Killing Tasks -- KillTask Message Handler

KillTask(taskId, _, interruptThread) message kills a task (calls Executor.killTask).

If an executor has not been initialized yet (FIXME: why?), the following ERROR message is printed out to the logs and CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend exits:

ERROR Received KillTask command but executor was null

== [[StopExecutor]] StopExecutor Handler

[source, scala]

case object StopExecutor extends CoarseGrainedClusterMessage

When StopExecutor is received, the handler turns <> internal flag on. You should see the following INFO message in the logs:

INFO CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Driver commanded a shutdown

In the end, the handler sends a <> message to itself.

StopExecutor message is sent when CoarseGrainedSchedulerBackend RPC Endpoint (aka DriverEndpoint) processes StopExecutors or RemoveExecutor messages.

== [[Shutdown]] Shutdown Handler

[source, scala]

case object Shutdown extends CoarseGrainedClusterMessage

Shutdown turns <> internal flag on and starts the CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend-stop-executor thread that executor:Executor.md#stop[stops the owned Executor] (using <> reference).

NOTE: Shutdown message is sent exclusively when <StopExecutor>>.

== [[exitExecutor]] Terminating CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend (and Notifying Driver with RemoveExecutor) -- exitExecutor Method

[source, scala]

exitExecutor( code: Int, reason: String, throwable: Throwable = null, notifyDriver: Boolean = true): Unit

When exitExecutor is executed, you should see the following ERROR message in the logs (followed by throwable if available):

Executor self-exiting due to : [reason]

If notifyDriver is enabled (it is by default) exitExecutor informs the <> that the executor should be removed (by sending a blocking RemoveExecutor message with <> and a ExecutorLossReason with the input reason).

You may see the following WARN message in the logs when the notification fails.

Unable to notify the driver due to [message]

In the end, exitExecutor terminates the CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend JVM process with the status code.

NOTE: exitExecutor uses Java's https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#exit-int-[System.exit] and initiates JVM's shutdown sequence (and executing all registered shutdown hooks).

[NOTE]

exitExecutor is used when:

  • CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend fails to <>, <> or <>

  • no <> has been created before <> or <> task requests

* <>.
