Get Started with XGBoost4J-Spark on Apache Hadoop YARN

This is a getting started guide to XGBoost4J-Spark on Apache Hadoop YARN. At the end of this guide, the reader will be able to run a sample Apache Spark application that runs on NVIDIA GPUs.

Prerequisites

  • Apache Spark 2.3+ running on YARN.

  • Hardware Requirements

    • NVIDIA Pascal™ GPU architecture or better
    • Multi-node clusters with homogenous GPU configuration

  • Software Requirements

    • Ubuntu 16.04/CentOS
    • NVIDIA driver 410.48+
    • CUDA V10.0/9.2
    • NCCL 2.4.7

  • EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS must be set for all GPUs in each NodeManager. This can be accomplished using the nvidia-smi utility:

    nvidia-smi -i [gpu index] -c EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS

    For example:

    nvidia-smi -i 0 -c EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS

    Sets EXCLUSIVE_PROCESS for GPU 0.

  • The number of GPUs per NodeManager dictates the number of Spark executors that can run in that NodeManager. Additionally, cores per Spark executor and cores per Spark task must match, such that each executor can run 1 task at any given time. For example: if each NodeManager has 4 GPUs, there should be 4 executors running on each NodeManager, and each executor should run 1 task (for a total of 4 tasks running on 4 GPUs). In order to achieve this, you may need to adjust spark.task.cpus and spark.executor.cores to match (both set to 1 by default). Additionally, we recommend adjusting executor-memory to divide host memory evenly amongst the number of GPUs in each NodeManager, such that Spark will schedule as many executors as there are GPUs in each NodeManager.

  • The SPARK_HOME environment variable is assumed to point to the cluster's Apache Spark installation.

Get Application Jar and Dataset

  1. Jar: Please build the sample_xgboost_apps jar with dependencies as specified in the guide
  2. Dataset: https://rapidsai-data.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/spark/mortgage.zip

First place the required jar and dataset in a local directory. In this example the jar is in the xgboost4j_spark/jars directory, and the mortgage.zip dataset was unzipped in the xgboost4j_spark/data directory.

[xgboost4j_spark]$ find . -type f -print|sort
./data/mortgage/csv/test/mortgage_eval_merged.csv
./data/mortgage/csv/train/mortgage_train_merged.csv
./jars/sample_xgboost_apps-0.1.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Create a directory in HDFS, and copy:

[xgboost4j_spark]$ hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp/xgboost4j_spark
[xgboost4j_spark]$ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal * /tmp/xgboost4j_spark

Verify that the jar and dataset are in HDFS:

[xgboost4j_spark]$ hadoop fs -find /tmp/xgboost4j_spark -print|grep "\."|sort
/tmp/xgboost4j_spark/data/mortgage/csv/test/mortgage_eval_merged.csv
/tmp/xgboost4j_spark/data/mortgage/csv/train/mortgage_train_merged.csv
/tmp/xgboost4j_spark/jars/sample_xgboost_apps-0.1.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Launch GPU Mortgage Example

Run spark-submit:

${SPARK_HOME}/bin/spark-submit                                                  \
 --master yarn                                                                  \
 --deploy-mode ${SPARK_DEPLOY_MODE}                                             \
 --num-executors ${SPARK_NUM_EXECUTORS}                                         \
 --driver-memory ${SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY}                                         \
 --executor-memory ${SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY}                                     \
 --class ${EXAMPLE_CLASS}                                                       \
 ${JAR_EXAMPLE}                                                                 \
 -trainDataPath=${DATA_PATH}/mortgage/csv/train/mortgage_train_merged.csv       \
 -evalDataPath=${DATA_PATH}/mortgage/csv/test/mortgage_eval_merged.csv          \
 -format=csv                                                                    \
 -numWorkers=${SPARK_NUM_EXECUTORS}                                             \
 -treeMethod=${TREE_METHOD}                                                     \

 -maxDepth=8

In the stdout driver log, you should see timings* (in seconds), and the RMSE accuracy metric:

--------------
==> Benchmark: Elapsed time for [train]: 29.642s
--------------

--------------
==> Benchmark: Elapsed time for [transform]: 21.272s
--------------

------Accuracy of Evaluation------
0.9874184013493451

Launch CPU Mortgage Example

If you are running this example after running the GPU example above, please set these variables, to set both training and testing to run on the CPU exclusively:

# example class to use
export EXAMPLE_CLASS=ai.rapids.spark.examples.mortgage.CPUMain

# tree construction algorithm
export TREE_METHOD=hist

This is the full variable listing, if you are running the CPU example from scratch:

# location where data was downloaded 
export DATA_PATH=hdfs:/tmp/xgboost4j_spark/data

# location where required jar was downloaded
export JARS_PATH=hdfs:/tmp/xgboost4j_spark/jars

# spark deploy mode (see Apache Spark documentation for more information) 
export SPARK_DEPLOY_MODE=cluster

# run a single executor for this example to limit the number of spark tasks and
# partitions to 1 as currently this number must match the number of input files
export SPARK_NUM_EXECUTORS=1

# spark driver memory
export SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY=4g

# spark executor memory
export SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY=8g

# example class to use
export EXAMPLE_CLASS=ai.rapids.spark.examples.mortgage.CPUMain

# XGBoost4J example jar
export JAR_EXAMPLE=${JARS_PATH}/sample_xgboost_apps-0.1.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

# tree construction algorithm
export TREE_METHOD=hist

This is the same command as for the GPU example, repeated for convenience:

${SPARK_HOME}/bin/spark-submit                                                  \

 -numWorkers=${SPARK_NUM_EXECUTORS}                                             \
