mrjob: the Python MapReduce library

https://github.com/Yelp/mrjob/raw/master/docs/logos/logo_medium.png

mrjob is a Python 2.7/3.4+ package that helps you write and run Hadoop Streaming jobs.

Stable version (v0.7.4) documentation

Development version documentation

https://travis-ci.org/Yelp/mrjob.png

mrjob fully supports Amazon's Elastic MapReduce (EMR) service, which allows you to buy time on a Hadoop cluster on an hourly basis. mrjob has basic support for Google Cloud Dataproc (Dataproc) which allows you to buy time on a Hadoop cluster on a minute-by-minute basis. It also works with your own Hadoop cluster.

Some important features:

  • Run jobs on EMR, Google Cloud Dataproc, your own Hadoop cluster, or locally (for testing).
  • Write multi-step jobs (one map-reduce step feeds into the next)
  • Easily launch Spark jobs on EMR or your own Hadoop cluster
  • Duplicate your production environment inside Hadoop
    • Upload your source tree and put it in your job's $PYTHONPATH
    • Run make and other setup scripts
    • Set environment variables (e.g. $TZ)
    • Easily install python packages from tarballs (EMR only)
    • Setup handled transparently by mrjob.conf config file
  • Automatically interpret error logs
  • SSH tunnel to hadoop job tracker (EMR only)
  • Minimal setup
    • To run on EMR, set $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    • To run on Dataproc, set $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
    • No setup needed to use mrjob on your own Hadoop cluster

Installation

pip install mrjob

As of v0.7.0, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Services are optional depedencies. To use these, install with the aws and google targets, respectively. For example:

pip install mrjob[aws]

A Simple Map Reduce Job

Code for this example and more live in mrjob/examples.

"""The classic MapReduce job: count the frequency of words.
"""
from mrjob.job import MRJob
import re

WORD_RE = re.compile(r"[\w']+")


class MRWordFreqCount(MRJob):

    def mapper(self, _, line):
        for word in WORD_RE.findall(line):
            yield (word.lower(), 1)

    def combiner(self, word, counts):
        yield (word, sum(counts))

    def reducer(self, word, counts):
        yield (word, sum(counts))


if __name__ == '__main__':
     MRWordFreqCount.run()

Try It Out!

# locally
python mrjob/examples/mr_word_freq_count.py README.rst > counts
# on EMR
python mrjob/examples/mr_word_freq_count.py README.rst -r emr > counts
# on Dataproc
python mrjob/examples/mr_word_freq_count.py README.rst -r dataproc > counts
# on your Hadoop cluster
python mrjob/examples/mr_word_freq_count.py README.rst -r hadoop > counts

Advanced Configuration

To run in other AWS regions, upload your source tree, run make, and use other advanced mrjob features, you'll need to set up mrjob.conf. mrjob looks for its conf file in:

  • The contents of $MRJOB_CONF
  • ~/.mrjob.conf
  • /etc/mrjob.conf

See the mrjob.conf documentation for more information.
