Some people use the Boto3 library to browse their Amazon bucket from Python, and I was searching the same for Azure. This is far from being optimized, but it could be a starting point. First things first, we need to find the Azure access token. Notice those keys are supposed to rotate so you have to have that in mind. In Azure portal, let's get to the Storage Account in the ResourceGroup defined for your account, and click on Access keys There are two keys (for rotation without interruption), let's copy the first one.    In my CML project, I'm defining an AZURE_STORAGE_TOKEN environment variable with that key:   As you see above, 'STORAGE' variable has been populated. If you want it to be automatically populated, here's some code:   !pip3 install git+https://github.com/fletchjeff/cmlbootstrap#egg=cmlbootstrap from cmlbootstrap import CMLBootstrap # Instantiate API Wrapper cml = CMLBootstrap() # Set the STORAGE environment variable try : storage=os.environ["STORAGE"] except: storage = cml.get_cloud_storage() storage_environment_params = {"STORAGE":storage} storage_environment = cml.create_environment_variable(storage_environment_params) os.environ["STORAGE"] = storage   Now the project! Install the required libraries:   pip3 install azure-storage-file-datalake   Here is the code listing files on the "datalake" path. This is not handling all exceptions and so on, that's really a starting point only and not meant to be used in a production environment.   !pip3 install azure-storage-file-datalake import os, uuid, sys, re from azure.storage.filedatalake import DataLakeServiceClient from azure.core._match_conditions import MatchConditions from azure.storage.filedatalake._models import ContentSettings def initialize_storage_account(storage_account_name, storage_account_key): try: global service_client service_client = DataLakeServiceClient(account_url="{}://{}.dfs.core.windows.net".format( "https", storage_account_name), credential=storage_account_key) except Exception as e: print(e) def list_directory_contents(path): try: file_system_client = service_client.get_file_system_client(container) paths = file_system_client.get_paths(path) for path in paths: print(path.name) except Exception as e: print(e) storage = os.environ['STORAGE'] storage_account_key = os.environ['AZURE_STORAGE_TOKEN'] m = re.search('abfs://(.+?)@(.+?)\.dfs.core\.windows\.net', storage) if m: container = m.group(1) storage_name = m.group(2) initialize_storage_account(storage_name, storage_account_key) list_directory_contents("datalake")   Happy browsing! ...

In Cloudera Machine Learning experience (or CDSW for the on-prem version), projects are backed with git. You might want to use GitHub on your projects, so here is a simple way to do that.   First things first: there are basically two ways of interacting with git/GitHub: HTTPS or SSH; We'll use the latter to make the authentication easy. You might also consider SSO or 2FA for enhancing security, here we'll focus on the basics. To make this authentication going on under the hood, copy our SSH key from CML to Github. Find your SSH key in the Settings of CML: Copy that key and add it in Github, under the SSH and GPG keys  in your github.com settings: Add SSH key. Put cdsw in the Title and paste your ssh content in the Key: Let's start with creating a new project on github.com: The important thing here is the access mode we want to use: SSH In CML, start a new project with a template: Open a Terminal window in a new session: Convert the project to a git project: cdsw@qp7h1qllrh9dx1hd:~$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/cdsw/.git/ Add all files to git: cdsw@qp7h1qllrh9dx1hd:~$ git add .

This article has been set on a HDP 2.5.3 version, you may consider adjusting some parameters to reflect your actual version. We'll here set Kafka loglevel through the Logging MBean with jConsole. For that, the first step is to enable JMX access: add in Kafka configs/kafka-env template export KAFKA_JMX_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false" export JMX_PORT="9999" For avoiding JMX port conflicts like mentioned in https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/73750/kafka-jmx-tool-is-failing-with-port-already-in-use.html, let’s modify /usr/hdp/current/kafka/bin/kafka-run-class.sh on all broker nodes: replace # JMX port to use if [ $JMX_PORT ]; then KAFKA_JMX_OPTS="$KAFKA_JMX_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_PORT" fi with # JMX port to use if [ $ISKAFKASERVER = "true" ]; then JMX_REMOTE_PORT=$JMX_PORT else JMX_REMOTE_PORT=$CLIENT_JMX_PORT fi if [ $JMX_REMOTE_PORT ]; then KAFKA_JMX_OPTS="$KAFKA_JMX_OPTS -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=$JMX_REMOTE_PORT" fi After brokers has been restarted, lets modify the logLevel with jConsole: $ jconsole <BROKER_FQDN>:<JMX_PORT> It launches a jconsole window, asking for Retry insecurely, go ahead with that go to the Mbeans tab then Kafka/kafka.log4jController/Attributes, and double-click on the Value of Loggers to get all Log4j controllers You can see the kafka logger above those presented is set to INFO. We can check it using the getLogLevel Operations entering the kafka loggerName Fortunately, you can also set the value without restarting with the setLogLevel operation, putting in DEBUG or TRACE for example. ...

When starting spark-shell, it tries to bind to port 4040 for the SparkUI. If that port is already taken because of another spark-shell session active, it tries then to bind on 4041, then 4042, etc. Each time the binding didn't suceed, there's a huge WARN stack trace which could be filtered [user@serv hive]$ SPARK_MAJOR_VERSION=2 spark-shell SPARK_MAJOR_VERSION is set to 2, using Spark2 Setting default log level to "WARN". To adjust logging level use sc.setLogLevel(newLevel). For SparkR, use setLogLevel(newLevel). 17/09/20 11:49:43 WARN AbstractLifeCycle: FAILED ServerConnector@2d258eff{HTTP/1.1} {0.0.0.0:4040}: java.net.BindException: Address already in use java.net.BindException: Address already in use at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:433) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:425) at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.bind(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:223) at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketAdaptor.bind(ServerSocketAdaptor.java:74) at org.spark_project.jetty.server.ServerConnector.open(ServerConnector.java:321) at org.spark_project.jetty.server.AbstractNetworkConnector.doStart(AbstractNetworkConnector.java:80) at org.spark_project.jetty.server.ServerConnector.doStart(ServerConnector.java:236) at org.spark_project.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle.start(AbstractLifeCycle.java:68) at org.apache.spark.ui.JettyUtils$.org$apache$spark$ui$JettyUtils$$newConnector$1(JettyUtils.scala:333) at org.apache.spark.ui.JettyUtils$.org$apache$spark$ui$JettyUtils$$httpConnect$1(JettyUtils.scala:365) at org.apache.spark.ui.JettyUtils$$anonfun$7.apply(JettyUtils.scala:368) at org.apache.spark.ui.JettyUtils To filter that stacktrace, let's put that class log4j verbosity in ERROR level in /usr/hdp/current/spark2-client/conf/log4j.properties # Added for not having stack traces when binding to SparkUI log4j.logger.org.spark_project.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle=ERROR ...
