Apache Celeborn

Celeborn (/ˈkeləbɔ:n/) is dedicated to improving the efficiency and elasticity of different map-reduce engines and provides an elastic, high-efficient management service for intermediate data including shuffle data, spilled data, result data, etc. Currently, Celeborn is focusing on shuffle data.

Internals

Architecture

Celeborn has three primary components: Master, Worker, and Client. Master manages all resources and syncs shared states based on Raft. Worker processes read-write requests and merges data for each reducer. LifecycleManager maintains metadata of each shuffle and runs within the Spark driver.

Feature

Disaggregate Computing and storage.
Push-based shuffle write and merged shuffle read.
High availability and high fault tolerance.

Shuffle Process

Mappers lazily ask LifecycleManager to registerShuffle.
LifecycleManager requests slots from Master.
Workers reserve slots and create corresponding files.
Mappers get worker locations from LifecycleManager.
Mappers push data to specified workers.
Workers merge and replicate data to its peer.
Workers flush to disk periodically.
Mapper tasks accomplish and trigger MapperEnd event.
When all mapper tasks are complete, workers commit files.
Reducers ask for file locations.
Reducers read shuffle data.

Load Balance

We introduce slots to achieve load balance. We will equally distribute partitions on every Celeborn worker by tracking slot usage. The Slot is a logical concept in Celeborn Worker that represents how many partitions can be allocated to each Celeborn Worker. Celeborn Worker's slot count is decided by total usable disk size / average shuffle file size. Celeborn worker's slot count decreases when a partition is allocated and increments when a partition is freed.

Build

Celeborn supports Spark 2.4/3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4/3.5, Flink 1.14/1.15/1.16/1.17/1.18/1.19/1.20 and Hadoop MapReduce 2/3.
Celeborn tested under Scala 2.11/2.12/2.13 and Java 8/11/17 environment.

Build Celeborn via make-distribution.sh:

./build/make-distribution.sh -Pspark-2.4/-Pspark-3.0/-Pspark-3.1/-Pspark-3.2/-Pspark-3.3/-Pspark-3.4/-Pspark-3.5/-Pflink-1.14/-Pflink-1.15/-Pflink-1.16/-Pflink-1.17/-Pflink-1.18/-Pflink-1.19/-Pflink-1.20/-Pmr

Package apache-celeborn-${project.version}-bin.tgz will be generated.

NOTE: The following table indicates the compatibility of Celeborn Spark and Flink clients with different versions of Spark and Flink for various Java and Scala versions.

To compile the client for Spark 2.4 with Scala 2.12, please use the following command:

Scala 2.12.8/2.12.9/2.12.10

./build/make-distribution.sh -DskipTests -Pspark-2.4 -Dscala.version=${scala.version} -Dscala.binary.version=2.12 -Dmaven.plugin.scala.version=3.2.2 -Dmaven.plugin.silencer.version=1.6.0

Scala 2.12.13-2.12.18

./build/make-distribution.sh -DskipTests -Pspark-2.4 -Dscala.version=${scala.version} -Dscala.binary.version=2.12

To compile for Spark 3.5 with Java21, please use the following command

./build/make-distribution.sh -Pspark-3.5 -Pjdk-21

./build/make-distribution.sh --sbt-enabled -Pspark-3.5 -Pjdk-21

NOTE: Celeborn supports automatic builds on linux aarch64 platform via aarch64 profile. aarch64 profile requires glibc version 3.4.21. There is potential problematic frame C [libc.so.6+0x8412a] for other glibc version like 2.x etc.

Compatibility

Celeborn server is compatible with all clients inside various engines. However, Celeborn clients must be consistent with the version of the specified engine. For example, if you are running Spark 2.4, you must compile Celeborn client with -Pspark-2.4; if you are running Spark 3.2, you must compile Celeborn client with -Pspark-3.2; if you are running flink 1.14, you must compile Celeborn client with -Pflink-1.14.

Usage

Celeborn cluster composes of Master and Worker nodes, the Master supports both single and HA mode(Raft-based) deployments.

Copy Celeborn and configurations to all nodes.
Start all services. If you install Celeborn distribution in the same path on every node and your cluster can perform SSH login then you can fill $CELEBORN_HOME/conf/hosts and use $CELEBORN_HOME/sbin/start-all.sh to start all services. If the installation paths are not identical, you will need to start the service manually.
Start Celeborn master
$CELEBORN_HOME/sbin/start-master.sh
Start Celeborn worker
$CELEBORN_HOME/sbin/start-worker.sh
If Celeborn starts success, the output of the Master's log should be like this:

Deploy Celeborn on K8S

Please refer to our website

Deploy Spark client

Copy $CELEBORN_HOME/spark/*.jar to $SPARK_HOME/jars/.

Spark Configuration

To use Celeborn, the following spark configurations should be added.

# Shuffle manager class name changed in 0.3.0:
#    before 0.3.0: `org.apache.spark.shuffle.celeborn.RssShuffleManager`
#    since 0.3.0: `org.apache.spark.shuffle.celeborn.SparkShuffleManager`
spark.shuffle.manager org.apache.spark.shuffle.celeborn.SparkShuffleManager
# must use kryo serializer because java serializer do not support relocation
spark.serializer org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer

# celeborn master
spark.celeborn.master.endpoints clb-1:9097,clb-2:9097,clb-3:9097
# This is not necessary if your Spark external shuffle service is Spark 3.1 or newer
spark.shuffle.service.enabled false

# options: hash, sort
# Hash shuffle writer use (partition count) * (celeborn.push.buffer.max.size) * (spark.executor.cores) memory.
# Sort shuffle writer uses less memory than hash shuffle writer, if your shuffle partition count is large, try to use sort hash writer.  
spark.celeborn.client.spark.shuffle.writer hash

# We recommend setting `spark.celeborn.client.push.replicate.enabled` to true to enable server-side data replication
# If you have only one worker, this setting must be false 
# If your Celeborn is using HDFS, it's recommended to set this setting to false
spark.celeborn.client.push.replicate.enabled true

# Support for Spark AQE only tested under Spark 3
# we recommend setting localShuffleReader to false for getting better performance of Celeborn
spark.sql.adaptive.localShuffleReader.enabled false

# If Celeborn is using HDFS
spark.celeborn.storage.availableTypes HDFS
spark.celeborn.storage.hdfs.dir hdfs://<namenode>/celeborn

# we recommend enabling aqe support to gain better performance
spark.sql.adaptive.enabled true
spark.sql.adaptive.skewJoin.enabled true

# Support Spark Dynamic Resource Allocation
# Required Spark version >= 3.5.0
spark.shuffle.sort.io.plugin.class org.apache.spark.shuffle.celeborn.CelebornShuffleDataIO
# Required Spark version >= 3.4.0, highly recommended to disable
spark.dynamicAllocation.shuffleTracking.enabled false

# Support ShuffleManager when defined in user jars
# Required Spark version < 4.0.0 or without SPARK-45762, highly recommended to false for ShuffleManager in user-defined jar specified by --jars or spark.jars
spark.executor.userClassPathFirst false

Deploy Flink client

Important: Only Flink batch jobs are supported for now. Due to the Shuffle Service in Flink is cluster-granularity, if you want to use Celeborn in a session cluster, it will not be able to submit both streaming and batch job to the same cluster. We plan to get rid of this restriction for Hybrid Shuffle mode in a future release.

Copy $CELEBORN_HOME/flink/*.jar to $FLINK_HOME/lib/.

Flink Configuration

Celeborn supports two Flink integration strategies: remote shuffle service (since Flink 1.14) and hybrid shuffle (since Flink 1.20).

To use Celeborn, you can choose one of them and add the following Flink configurations.

Flink Remote Shuffle Service Configuration

shuffle-service-factory.class: org.apache.celeborn.plugin.flink.RemoteShuffleServiceFactory
execution.batch-shuffle-mode: ALL_EXCHANGES_BLOCKING
celeborn.master.endpoints: clb-1:9097,clb-2:9097,clb-3:9097

celeborn.client.shuffle.batchHandleReleasePartition.enabled: true
celeborn.client.push.maxReqsInFlight: 128

# Network connections between peers
celeborn.data.io.numConnectionsPerPeer: 16
# threads number may vary according to your cluster but do not set to 1
celeborn.data.io.threads: 32
celeborn.client.shuffle.batchHandleCommitPartition.threads: 32
celeborn.rpc.dispatcher.numThreads: 32

# Floating buffers may need to change `taskmanager.network.memory.fraction` and `taskmanager.network.memory.max`
taskmanager.network.memory.floating-buffers-per-gate: 4096
taskmanager.network.memory.buffers-per-channel: 0
taskmanager.memory.task.off-heap.size: 512m

Note: The config option execution.batch-shuffle-mode should configure as ALL_EXCHANGES_BLOCKING.

Flink Hybrid Shuffle Configuration

shuffle-service-factory.class: org.apache.flink.runtime.io.network.NettyShuffleServiceFactory
taskmanager.network.hybrid-shuffle.external-remote-tier-factory.class: org.apache.celeborn.plugin.flink.tiered.CelebornTierFactory
execution.batch-shuffle-mode: ALL_EXCHANGES_HYBRID_FULL
jobmanager.partition.hybrid.partition-data-consume-constraint: ALL_PRODUCERS_FINISHED

celeborn.master.endpoints: clb-1:9097,clb-2:9097,clb-3:9097
celeborn.client.shuffle.batchHandleReleasePartition.enabled: true
celeborn.client.push.maxReqsInFlight: 128
# Network connections between peers
celeborn.data.io.numConnectionsPerPeer: 16
# threads number may vary according to your cluster but do not set to 1
celeborn.data.io.threads: 32
celeborn.client.shuffle.batchHandleCommitPartition.threads: 32
celeborn.rpc.dispatcher.numThreads: 32

Note: The config option execution.batch-shuffle-mode should configure as ALL_EXCHANGES_HYBRID_FULL.

Deploy MapReduce client

Copy $CELEBORN_HOME/mr/*.jar into mapreduce.application.classpath and yarn.application.classpath. Meanwhile, configure the following settings in YARN and MapReduce config.

-Dyarn.app.mapreduce.am.job.recovery.enable=false
-Dmapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps=1
-Dmapreduce.celeborn.master.endpoints=<master-1-1>:9097
-Dyarn.app.mapreduce.am.command-opts=org.apache.celeborn.mapreduce.v2.app.MRAppMasterWithCeleborn
-Dmapreduce.job.map.output.collector.class=org.apache.hadoop.mapred.CelebornMapOutputCollector
-Dmapreduce.job.reduce.shuffle.consumer.plugin.class=org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.task.reduce.CelebornShuffleConsumer

Note: MRAppMasterWithCeleborn supports setting mapreduce.celeborn.master.endpoints via environment variable CELEBORN_MASTER_ENDPOINTS. Meanwhile, MRAppMasterWithCeleborn disables yarn.app.mapreduce.am.job.recovery.enable and sets mapreduce.job.reduce.slowstart.completedmaps to 1 by default.

Best Practice

If you want to set up a production-ready Celeborn cluster, your cluster should have at least 3 masters and at least 4 workers. Masters and works can be deployed on the same node but should not deploy multiple masters or workers on the same node. See more detail in CONFIGURATIONS

Support Spark Dynamic Allocation

For Spark versions >= 3.5.0, Celeborn can be used with Dynamic Resource Allocation(DRA) when spark.shuffle.sort.io.plugin.class is set to org.apache.spark.shuffle.celeborn.CelebornShuffleDataIO. Check SPARK-42689 and CELEBORN-911 for more details.

For Spark versions < 3.5.0, we provide a patch to enable users to use Spark with DRA and Celeborn.

For Spark 2.x check Spark2 Patch.
For Spark 3.0 check Spark3.0 Patch.
For Spark 3.1 check Spark3.1 Patch.
For Spark 3.2 check Spark3.2 Patch.
For Spark 3.3 check Spark3.3 Patch.
For Spark 3.4 check Spark3.4 Patch.
