Hi all, I have created a script that can be used as a bootstrap action for installing Apache Zeppelin on an Amazon EMR cluster. I thought I would share it on this mailing list, hoping that someone will benefit from this.
You can find the script here: https://gist.github.com/andershammar/224e1077021d0ea376dd The bootstrap script will parse the /home/hadoop/spark/conf/spark-defaults.conf configuration file and pass the YARN specific flags to the Spark interpreter in Zeppelin as ZEPPELIN_JAVA_OPTS so that the EMR cluster is fully utilized when notebook is executed. (Requires that Spark has been installed with the -x flag when the EMR cluster was created, see https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-apache-spark-on-amazon-emr/ for details.) Best regards, Anders
