The Qualification tool can be run in a three other ways if you are not using the CLI tool. One is to run it as a standalone tool on the Spark event logs after the application(s) have run, the second is to be integrated into a running Spark application using explicit API calls, and the third is to install a Spark listener which can output results on a per SQL query basis.
Prerequisites
Java 8 or above, Spark 3.0.1+ jars.
Spark event log(s) from Spark 2.0 or above version. Supports both rolled and compressed event logs with
.lz4,.lzf,.snappyand.zstdsuffixes as well as Databricks-specific rolled and compressed(.gz) event logs.The tool does not support nested directories. Event log files or event log directories should be at the top level when specifying a directory.
Spark event logs can be downloaded from Spark UI using a “Download” button on the right side, or can be found in the location specified by spark.eventLog.dir. See the Apache Spark Monitoring documentation for more information.
Step 01: Download the tools jar and Apache Spark 3 Distribution
The Qualification tool require the Spark 3.x jars to be able to run but do not need an Apache Spark run time. If you do not already have Spark 3.x installed, you can download the Spark distribution to any machine and include the jars in the classpath. - Download the latest jar from Maven repository
Spark 3.1.1 for Apache Hadoop is recommended
Step 02: Run the Qualification tool
The Qualification tool reads the log files and process them in-memory. So the heap memory should be increased when processing large volume of events. It is recommended to pass VM options
-Xmx10gand adjust according to the number-of-apps / size-of-logs being processed.export QUALIFICATION_HEAP=-Xmx10g
Event logs stored on a local machine:
Extract the Spark distribution into a local directory if necessary.
Either set SPARK_HOME to point to that directory or just put the path inside of the classpath
java -cp toolsJar:pathToSparkJars/*:...when you run the Qualification tool.
This tool parses the Spark CPU event log(s) and creates an output report. Acceptable inputs are either individual or multiple event logs files or directories containing spark event logs in the local filesystem, HDFS, S3 or mixed.
Usage: java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \ -cp rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/* \ com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain [options] <eventlogs | eventlog directories ...>
Sample: java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \ -cp rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/* \ com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain /usr/logs/app-name1
Event logs stored on an on-premises HDFS cluster:
Example running on files in HDFS: (include
$HADOOP_CONF_DIRin classpath)Usage: java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \ -cp ~/rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/*:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ \ com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain /eventlogDir
Note, on an HDFS cluster, the default filesystem is likely HDFS for both the input and output so if you want to point to the local filesystem be sure to include file: in the path.
Qualification tool options
--help should be before the trailing event logs.

<eventlogs | eventlog directories ...>
--all Apply multiple event log filtering criteria
and process only logs for which all
conditions are satisfied.Example: <Filter1>
<Filter2> <Filter3> --all -> result is
<Filter1> AND <Filter2> AND <Filter3>.
Default is all=true
--any Apply multiple event log filtering criteria
and process only logs for which any condition
is satisfied.Example: <Filter1> <Filter2>
<Filter3> --any -> result is <Filter1> OR
<Filter2> OR <Filter3>
-a, --application-name <arg> Filter event logs by application name. The
string specified can be a regular expression,
substring, or exact match. For filtering
based on complement of application name, use
~APPLICATION_NAME. i.e Select all event logs
except the ones which have application name
as the input string.
-f, --filter-criteria <arg> Filter newest or oldest N eventlogs based on
application start timestamp, unique
application name or filesystem timestamp.
Filesystem based filtering happens before any
application based filtering.For application
based filtering, the order in which filters
areapplied is: application-name,
start-app-time, filter-criteria.Application
based filter-criteria are:100-newest (for
processing newest 100 event logs based on
timestamp insidethe eventlog) i.e application
start time) 100-oldest (for processing
oldest 100 event logs based on timestamp
insidethe eventlog) i.e application start
time) 100-newest-per-app-name (select at
most 100 newest log files for each unique
application name) 100-oldest-per-app-name
(select at most 100 oldest log files for each
unique application name)Filesystem based
filter criteria are:100-newest-filesystem
(for processing newest 100 event logs based
on filesystem timestamp).
100-oldest-filesystem (for processing oldest
100 event logsbased on filesystem timestamp).
-h, --html-report Default is to generate an HTML report.
--no-html-report Disables generating the HTML report.
-m, --match-event-logs <arg> Filter event logs whose filenames contain the
input string. Filesystem based filtering
happens before any application based
filtering.
--max-sql-desc-length <arg> Maximum length of the SQL description
string output with the per sql output.
Default is 100.
--ml-functions Report if there are any SparkML or Spark XGBoost
functions in the eventlog.
-n, --num-output-rows <arg> Number of output rows in the summary report.
Default is 1000.
--num-threads <arg> Number of thread to use for parallel
processing. The default is the number of
cores on host divided by 4.
--order <arg> Specify the sort order of the report. desc or
asc, desc is the default. desc (descending)
would report applications most likely to be
accelerated at the top and asc (ascending)
would show the least likely to be accelerated
at the top.
-o, --output-directory <arg> Base output directory. Default is current
directory for the default filesystem. The
final output will go into a subdirectory
called rapids_4_spark_qualification_output.
It will overwrite any existing directory with
the same name.
-p, --per-sql Report at the individual SQL query level.
--platform <arg> Cluster platform where Spark CPU workloads were
executed. Options include onprem, dataproc-t4,
dataproc-l4, emr, databricks-aws, and
databricks-azure.
Default is onprem.
-r, --report-read-schema Whether to output the read formats and
datatypes to the CSV file. This can be very
long. Default is false.
--spark-property <arg>... Filter applications based on certain Spark
properties that were set during launch of the
application. It can filter based on key:value
pair or just based on keys. Multiple configs
can be provided where the filtering is done
if any of theconfig is present in the
eventlog. filter on specific configuration:
--spark-property=spark.eventLog.enabled:truefilter
all eventlogs which has config:
--spark-property=spark.driver.portMultiple
configs:
--spark-property=spark.eventLog.enabled:true
--spark-property=spark.driver.port
-s, --start-app-time <arg> Filter event logs whose application start
occurred within the past specified time
period. Valid time periods are
min(minute),h(hours),d(days),w(weeks),m(months).
If a period is not specified it defaults to
days.
-t, --timeout <arg> Maximum time in seconds to wait for the event
logs to be processed. Default is 24 hours
(86400 seconds) and must be greater than 3
seconds. If it times out, it will report what
it was able to process up until the timeout.
-u, --user-name <arg> Applications which a particular user has
submitted.
--help Show help message
trailing arguments:
eventlog (required) Event log filenames(space separated) or directories
containing event logs. eg: s3a://<BUCKET>/eventlog1
/path/to/eventlog2
Example commands:
Process the 10 newest logs, and only output the top 3 in the output:
java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \
-cp ~/rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/*:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ \
com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain -f 10-newest -n 3 /eventlogDir
Process last 100 days’ logs:
java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \
-cp ~/rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/*:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ \
com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain -s 100d /eventlogDir
Process only the newest log with the same application name:
java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \
-cp ~/rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/*:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ \
com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain -f 1-newest-per-app-name /eventlogDir
Parse ML functions from the eventlog:
java ${QUALIFICATION_HEAP} \
-cp ~/rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar:$SPARK_HOME/jars/*:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/ \
com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.QualificationMain --ml-functions /eventlogDir
The “regular expression” used by -a option is based on java.util.regex.Pattern.
We provide a Spark Listener that can be installed at application start that will produce output for each SQL queries in the running application and indicate if that query is a good fit to try with the Rapids Accelerator for Spark.
Prerequisites
Java 8 or above, Spark 3.0.1+
Download the tools jar
Download the latest jar from Maven repository
Configuration
Add the RunningQualificationEventProcess to the spark listeners configuration: spark.extraListeners=org.apache.spark.sql.rapids.tool.qualification.RunningQualificationEventProcessor
The user should specify the output directory if they want the output to go to separate files, otherwise it will go to the Spark driver log. If the output directory is specified, it outputs two different files, one csv and one pretty printed log file. The output directory can be a local directory or point to a distributed file system or blobstore like S3.
spark.rapids.qualification.outputDir
By default, this will output results for 10 SQL queries per file and will keep 100 files. This behavior is because many blob stores don’t show files until they are fully written so you wouldn’t be able to see the results for a running application until it finishes the number of SQL queries per file. This behavior can be configured with the following configs.
spark.rapids.qualification.output.numSQLQueriesPerFiledefault 10
spark.rapids.qualification.output.maxNumFilesdefault 100
Run the Spark application
Run the application and include the tools jar, spark.extraListeners config and optionally the other configs to control the tools behavior.
For example:
$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell \
--jars rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar \
--conf spark.extraListeners=org.apache.spark.sql.rapids.tool.qualification.RunningQualificationEventProcessor \
--conf spark.rapids.qualification.outputDir=/tmp/qualPerSqlOutput \
--conf spark.rapids.qualification.output.numSQLQueriesPerFile=5 \
--conf spark.rapids.qualification.output.maxNumFiles=10
After running some SQL queries you can look in the output directory and see files like:
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_0.csv
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_0.log
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_1.csv
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_1.log
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_2.csv
rapids_4_spark_qualification_output_persql_2.log
See the Understanding the Qualification tool output section on the file contents details.

Modify your application code to call the APIs
Currently only Scala api’s are supported. Note this does not support reporting at the per sql level currently. This can be done manually by just wrapping and reporting around those queries instead of the entire application.
Create the RunningQualicationApp:
val qualApp = new com.nvidia.spark.rapids.tool.qualification.RunningQualificationApp()
Get the event listener from it and install it as a Spark listener:
val listener = qualApp.getEventListener
spark.sparkContext.addSparkListener(listener)
Run your queries and then get the summary or detailed output to see the results.
The summary output api:
/**
* Get the summary report for qualification.
* @param delimiter The delimiter separating fields of the summary report.
* @param prettyPrint Whether to including the separate at start and end and
* add spacing so the data rows align with column headings.
* @return String of containing the summary report.
*/
getSummary(delimiter: String = "|", prettyPrint: Boolean = true): String
The detailed output api:
/**
* Get the detailed report for qualification.
* @param delimiter The delimiter separating fields of the summary report.
* @param prettyPrint Whether to including the separate at start and end and
* add spacing so the data rows align with column headings.
* @return String of containing the detailed report.
*/
getDetailed(delimiter: String = "|", prettyPrint: Boolean = true, reportReadSchema: Boolean = false): String
Example:
// run your sql queries ...
// To get the summary output:
val summaryOutput = qualApp.getSummary()
// To get the detailed output:
val detailedOutput = qualApp.getDetailed()
// print the output somewhere for user to see
println(summaryOutput)
println(detailedOutput)
If you need to specify the tools jar as a maven dependency to compile the Spark application:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nvidia</groupId>
<artifactId>rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12</artifactId>
<version>${version}</version>
</dependency>
Run the Spark application
Run your Spark application and include the tools jar you downloaded with the spark ‘–jars’ options and view the output wherever you had it printed.
For example, if running the spark-shell:
$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --jars rapids-4-spark-tools_2.12-<version>.jar
