Spark Lineage Ingestion

A spark job may involve movement/transfer of data which may result into a data lineage, to capture such lineages you can make use of Collate Spark Agent which you can configure with your spark session and capture these spark lineages into your Collate instance. In this guide we will explain how you can make use of the Collate Spark Agent to capture such lineage.

​
Requirement

To use the Collate Spark Agent, you will have to download the latest jar from here. We support spark version 3.1 and above.

​
Configuration

While configuring the spark session, in this guide we will make use of PySpark to demonstrate the use of Collate Spark Agent
1

Once you have downloaded the

Once you have downloaded the jar from here in your spark configuration you will have to add the path to your openmetadata-spark-agent.jar along with other required jars to run your spark job, in this example it is mysql-connector-java.jar
2

`openmetadata-spark-agent.jar` comes with a custom

openmetadata-spark-agent.jar comes with a custom spark listener i.e. io.openlineage.spark.agent.OpenLineageSparkListener you will need to add this as extraListeners spark configuration.

In this job we are

In this job we are reading data from employee table and moving it to another table employee_new of within same mysql source.
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

spark = (
    SparkSession.builder.master("local")
    .appName("localTestApp")
.config(
        "spark.jars",
        "path/to/openmetadata-spark-agent.jar,path/to/mysql-connector-java-8.0.30.jar",
    )
.config(
        "spark.extraListeners",
        "io.openlineage.spark.agent.OpenLineageSparkListener",
    )
.config("spark.openmetadata.transport.hostPort", "http://localhost:8585")
.config("spark.openmetadata.transport.type", "openmetadata")
.config("spark.openmetadata.transport.jwtToken", "<openmetadata-jwt-token>")
.config(
        "spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineServiceName", "my_pipeline_service"
    )
.config("spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineName", "my_pipeline_name")
.config(
        "spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineSourceUrl",
        "http://your.org/path/to/pipeline",
    )
.config(
        "spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineDescription", "My ETL Pipeline"
    )
.config(
        "spark.openmetadata.transport.databaseServiceNames",
        "random,local_mysql",
    )
.config("spark.openmetadata.transport.timeout", "30")
.getOrCreate()
)

# Read table using jdbc()

# Read from MySQL Table
employee_df = (
    spark.read.format("jdbc")
    .option("url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openmetadata_db")
    .option("driver", "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver")
    .option("dbtable", "employee")
    .option("user", "openmetadata_user")
    .option("password", "openmetadata_password")
    .load()
)

# Write data to the new employee_new table
(
    employee_df.write.format("jdbc")
    .option("url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openmetadata_db")
    .option("driver", "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver")
    .option("dbtable", "employee_new")
    .option("user", "openmetadata_user")
    .option("password", "openmetadata_password")
    .mode("overwrite")
    .save()
)

# Stop the Spark session
spark.stop()
Once this pyspark job get finished you will see a new pipeline service with name my_pipeline_service generated in your Collate instance which would contain a pipeline with name my_pipeline as per the above example and you should also see lineage between the table employee and employee_new via my_pipeline.

Using Spark Agent with Databricks

Follow the below steps in order to use Collate Spark Agent with databricks.

​
1. Upload the jar to compute cluster

To use the Collate Spark Agent, you will have to download the latest jar from here and upload it to your databricks compute cluster. To upload the jar you can visit the compute details page and then go to the libraries tab Spark Upload Jar Click on the “Install Now” button and choose dbfs mode and upload the Collate Spark Agent jar. Spark Upload Jar Once your jar is uploaded copy the path of the jar for the next steps. Spark Upload Jar

​
2. Create Initialization Script

Once your jar is uploaded you need to create a initialization script in your workspace. 
#!/bin/bash

STAGE_DIR_JAR="<path to jar copied from step 1>"

echo "BEGIN: Upload Spark Listener JARs"
cp -f $STAGE_DIR_JAR /mnt/driver-daemon/jars || { echo "Error copying Spark Listener library file"; exit 1;}
echo "END: Upload Spark Listener JARs"

echo "BEGIN: Modify Spark config settings"
cat << 'EOF' > /databricks/driver/conf/openlineage-spark-driver-defaults.conf
[driver] {
  "spark.extraListeners" = "io.openlineage.spark.agent.OpenLineageSparkListener"
}
EOF
echo "END: Modify Spark config settings"
Note: The copied path would look like this dbfs:/FileStore/jars/.... you need to modify it like /dbfs/FileStore/jars/... this. Prepare Script

​
3. Configure Initialization Script

Once you have created a initialization script, you will need to attach this script to your compute instance, to do that you can go to advanced config > init scripts and add your script path. Prepare Script Spark Init Script

​
4. Configure Spark

After configuring the init script, you will need to update the spark config as well. Spark Set Config these are the possible configurations that you can do, please refer the Configuration section above to get the detailed information about the same. 
spark.extraListeners io.openlineage.spark.agent.OpenLineageSparkListener
spark.openmetadata.transport.type openmetadata
spark.openmetadata transport.pipelineSourceUrl http://<your-pipeline-host-port>
spark.openmetadata transport.pipelineDescription "your pipeline description"
spark.openmetadata.transport.hostPort https://<your-openmetadata-host-port>
spark openmetadata transport.pipelineServiceName demo_pipeline
spark.openmetadata transport.pipelineName demo_pipeline
spark.openmetadata transport.databaseServiceNames db-service-name1,db-service-name2
spark.openmetadata.transport.jwtToken <your-jwt-token>
spark.openmetadata.transport.timeout 30
After all these steps are completed you can start/restart your compute instance and you are ready to extract the lineage from spark to Collate.

Using Spark Agent with Glue

Follow the below steps in order to use Collate Spark Agent with glue.

​
1. Specify the Collate Spark Agent JAR URL

  1. Upload the Collate Spark Agent Jar to S3
  2. Navigate to the glue job,In the Job details tab, navigate to Advanced properties → Libraries → Dependent Jars path

Glue Job Configure Jar

​
2. Add Spark configuration in Job Parameters

In the same Job details tab, add a new property under Job parameters:
  1. Add the --conf property with following value, make sure to customize this configuration as described in the above documentation.
spark.extraListeners=io.openlineage.spark.agent.OpenLineageSparkListener --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.hostPort=https://your-org.host:port  --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.type=openmetadata --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.jwtToken=<jwt-token> --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineServiceName=glue_spark_pipeline_service --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.pipelineName=glue_pipeline_name --conf spark.openmetadata.transport.timeout=30
  1. Add the --user-jars-first parameter and set its value to true
