Activation via spark-submit

The Xonai Accelerator can be activated on a per-application basis via Spark 3 configuration by adding the following properties:

--jars <scheme>://<path>/xonai-spark-plugin-<package>-<runtime>-<release>-<channel>-<platform>-<arch>.jar
--conf spark.plugins=com.xonai.spark.SQLPlugin

As an example, running Xonai with SparkPI program would be:

spark-submit \
  --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
  --jars <scheme>://<path>/xonai-spark-plugin-<package>-<runtime>-<release>-<channel>-<platform>-<arch>.jar \
  --conf spark.plugins=com.xonai.spark.SQLPlugin \
  $SPARK_HOME/examples/jars/spark-examples.jar 1000

Info

If you are defining explicit offheap or overhead memory, you may need to reconfigure property values depending on which Xonai memory mode is active.
