Customize software configurations

Limits

You can use the Custom Software Settings feature only when you create a cluster.

Procedure

1. Go to the Cluster Management page.
   1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud EMR console.
   2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your cluster resides and select a resource group based on your business requirements.
   3. Click the Cluster Management tab.
2. Click Cluster Wizard in the upper-right corner.
3. In the Advanced Settings section of the Software Settings step, turn on Custom Software Settings.
   You can specify a configuration file in the JSON format and overwrite or add default cluster parameters. The following example shows the content of a configuration file in the JSON format:

   [
       {
           "ServiceName":"YARN",
           "FileName":"yarn-site",
           "ConfigKey":"yarn.nodemanager.resource.cpu-vcores",
           "ConfigValue":"8"
       },
       {
           "ServiceName":"YARN",
           "FileName":"yarn-site",
           "ConfigKey":"aaa",
           "ConfigValue":"bbb"
       }
   ]

   • ServiceName: the service name. You must specify the service name in all uppercase.
   • FileName: the name of the file. The name of the file that is actually passed. You need to remove the suffix.
   • ConfigKey: the name of a configuration item.
   • ConfigValue: the value of the configuration item.

   The following table lists the configuration files of each service.

   Service	Configuration file
   Hadoop	core-site.xml log4j.properties hdfs-site.xml mapred-site.xml yarn-site.xml httpsfs-site.xml capacity-scheduler.xml hadoop-env.sh httpfs-env.sh mapred-env.sh yarn-env.sh
   Pig	pig.properties log4j.properties
   Hive	hive-env.sh hive-site.xml hive-exec-log4j.properties hive-log4j.properties

   After you customize software configurations, you can continue to create the cluster. For more information, see Create a cluster.
