Use inline Dataproc workflows

Unlike standard workflows that instantiate a previously created workflow template resource, inline workflows use a YAML file or an embedded WorkflowTemplate definition to run a workflow.

Note: You cannot pass parameters to an inline workflow.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• project-id: Google Cloud project ID
• region: cluster region, such as "us-central1"
• zoneUri: Specify a zone within the cluster's region, such as "us-central1-b", or leave empty ("") to use Dataproc Auto Zone placement
• clusterName: cluster name

HTTP method and URL:

POST https://dataproc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/regions/region/workflowTemplates:instantiateInline

Request JSON body:

{
  "jobs": [
    {
      "hadoopJob": {
        "mainJarFileUri": "file:///usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar",
        "args": [
          "teragen",
          "1000",
          "hdfs:///gen/"
        ]
      },
      "stepId": "teragen"
    },
    {
      "hadoopJob": {
        "mainJarFileUri": "file:///usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar",
        "args": [
          "terasort",
          "hdfs:///gen/",
          "hdfs:///sort/"
        ]
      },
      "stepId": "terasort",
      "prerequisiteStepIds": [
        "teragen"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "placement": {
    "managedCluster": {
      "clusterName": "cluster-name",
      "config": {
        "gceClusterConfig": {
          "zoneUri": "zone"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://dataproc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/regions/region/workflowTemplates:instantiateInline"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://dataproc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/project-id/regions/region/workflowTemplates:instantiateInline" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/project-id/regions/region/operations/2fbd0dad-...",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.dataproc.v1.WorkflowMetadata",
    "graph": {
      "nodes": [
        {
          "stepId": "teragen",
          "state": "RUNNABLE"
        },
        {
          "stepId": "terasort",
          "prerequisiteStepIds": [
            "teragen"
          ],
          "state": "BLOCKED"
        }
      ]
    },
    "state": "PENDING",
    "startTime": "2020-04-02T22:50:44.826Z"
  }
}

Currently, the creation of inline workflows is not supported in the Google Cloud console. Workflow templates and instantiated workflows can be viewed from Dataproc Workflows page.
