Create a Dataproc cluster by using client libraries

The sample code listed, below, shows you how to use the Cloud Client Libraries to create a Dataproc cluster, run a job on the cluster, then delete the cluster.

You can also perform these tasks using:

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.
  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Go to project selector

  3. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  4. Enable the Dataproc API.

    Enable the API

  5. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Go to project selector

  6. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  7. Enable the Dataproc API.

    Enable the API

Run the Code

Try the walkthrough: Click Open in Cloud Shell to run a Python Cloud Client Libraries walkthrough that creates a cluster, runs a PySpark job, then deletes the cluster.

Open in Cloud Shell

Go

  1. Install the client library For more information, See Setting up your development environment.
  2. Set up authentication
  3. Clone and run the sample GitHub code.
  4. View the output. The code outputs the job driver log to the default Dataproc staging bucket in Cloud Storage. You can view job driver output from the Google Cloud console in your project's Dataproc Jobs section. Click on the Job ID to view job output on the Job details page.


// This quickstart shows how you can use the Dataproc Client library to create a
