Introduction

mrjob lets you write MapReduce jobs in Python 2.5+ and run them on several platforms. You can:

  • Write multi-step MapReduce jobs in pure Python
  • Test on your local machine
  • Run on a Hadoop cluster
  • Run in the cloud using Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR)

Setup

From PyPI:

pip install mrjob

From source:

python setup.py install

See Sample Config File section for additional config details.

Processing S3 Logs

Running Amazon Elastic MapReduce Jobs

Run an Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) job on the given input (must be a flat file hierarchy), placing the results in the output (output directory must not exist):


In [ ]:
!python mr_s3_log_parser.py -r emr s3://bucket-source/ --output-dir=s3://bucket-dest/

Run a MapReduce job locally on the specified input file, sending the results to the specified output file:


In [ ]:
!python mr_s3_log_parser.py input_data.txt > output_data.txt
