Running a Job with Spark Universal

Spark Universal is a mechanism that allows Talend Studio to be compatible with every big data distribution for a given Spark version. You choose a Spark version and upload a Hadoop configuration JAR file that contains all the necessary information to connect to your cluster.

Talend Studio supports the following modes and environments, depending on the Spark versions:
Mode or environment Spark 2.4.x Spark 3.0.x Spark 3.1.x Spark 3.2.x Spark 3.3.x Spark 3.4.x
Local mode Supported Supported Supported Supported Supported Supported
Standalone Not supported Not supported Not supported Supported Not supported Supported
Yarn cluster mode Supported Supported Supported Supported Supported Not supported
Databricks Not supported Not supported Supported Supported Supported Supported
Dataproc Not supported Not supported Supported Supported Supported Not supported

Spark Universal distributions support

Talend Studio supports the following distributions in Yarn cluster mode, depending on the Spark versions:
Spark version Supported distributions in Yarn cluster mode
Spark 2.4.x
  • Amazon EMR 5.2.x and above
  • CDH 6.x
  • HDP 3.x
Spark 3.0.x
  • Amazon EMR 6.2
  • CDP 7.1
Spark 3.1.x
  • Amazon EMR 6.3.x, 6.4.x and 6.5.x
Spark 3.2.x
  • Amazon EMR 6.6.0 and 6.7.0
Spark 3.3.x
  • Amazon EMR 6.8.0, 6.9.0 and 6.10.0
  • CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.8 and 7.1.9
  • CDP Public Cloud Data Hub 7.2.17
For example, if you want to connect to an Amazon EMR 6.2 cluster, you need to select Spark 3.0.x version and then upload the Hadoop configuration JAR file that contains all the *-site.xml files related to the cluster.

This list of distribution is not exhaustive, you can use Yarn cluster with any other distribution if the Spark version matches, but keep in mind that they have not been officially tested by Talend and thus not guaranteed to work.
