Amazon EMR is pleased to announce integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Access Grants that simplifies Amazon S3 permission management and allows you to enforce granular access at scale. With this integration, you can scale job-based Amazon S3 access for Apache Spark jobs across all Amazon EMR deployment options and enforce granular Amazon […]

In this era of big data, organizations worldwide are constantly searching for innovative ways to extract value and insights from their vast datasets. Apache Spark offers the scalability and speed needed to process large amounts of data efficiently. Amazon EMR is the industry-leading cloud big data solution for petabyte-scale data processing, interactive analytics, and machine […]

In this post, we show how you can authenticate into SageMaker Studio using an existing Active Directory (AD), with authorized access to both Amazon S3 and Hive cataloged data using AD entitlements via Apache Ranger integration and AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On). With this solution, you can manage access to multiple SageMaker environments and SageMaker Studio notebooks using a single set of credentials. Subsequently, Apache Spark jobs created from SageMaker Studio notebooks will access only the data and resources permitted by Apache Ranger policies attached to the AD credentials, inclusive of table and column-level access.

Amazon EMR Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) that makes it straightforward for data scientists and data engineers to develop, visualize, and debug data engineering and data science applications written in R, Python, Scala, and PySpark. EMR Studio provides fully managed Jupyter notebooks and tools such as Spark UI and YARN Timeline Server via […]

Apache Hive is a distributed, fault-tolerant data warehouse system that enables analytics at a massive scale. Using Spark SQL to run Hive workloads provides not only the simplicity of SQL-like queries but also taps into the exceptional speed and performance provided by Spark. Spark SQL is an Apache Spark module for structured data processing. One […]

Amazon EMR Serverless provides a serverless runtime environment that simplifies the operation of analytics applications that use the latest open source frameworks, such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive. With EMR Serverless, you don’t have to configure, optimize, secure, or operate clusters to run applications with these frameworks. You can run analytics workloads at any scale with automatic […]

Customers face a challenge when distributing cloud resources between different teams running workloads such as development, testing, or production. The resource distribution challenge also occurs when you have different line-of-business users. The objective is not only to ensure sufficient resources be consistently available to production workloads and critical teams, but also to prevent adhoc jobs […]

New enhancements in Trino with Amazon EMR provide improved resiliency for running ETL and batch workloads on Spot Instances with reduced costs. This post showcases the resilience of Amazon EMR with Trino using fault-tolerant configuration to run long-running queries on Spot Instances to save costs. We simulate Spot interruptions on Trino worker nodes by using AWS Fault Injection Simulator (AWS FIS).

Currently, Iceberg provides a compaction utility that compacts small files at a table or partition level. But this approach requires you to implement the compaction job using your preferred job scheduler or manually triggering the compaction job. In this post, we discuss the new Iceberg feature that you can use to automatically compact small files while writing data into Iceberg tables using Spark on Amazon EMR or Amazon Athena.
