DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Submit a Spark SQL job to a cluster.
EXAMPLES
To submit a Spark SQL job with a local script, run:
gcloudalphadataprocjobssubmitspark-sql--cluster=my-cluster--file=my_queries.ql

To submit a Spark SQL job with inline queries, run:

gcloudalphadataprocjobssubmitspark-sql--cluster=my-cluster-e="CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE foo(bar int) LOCATION 'gs://my_bucket/'"-e="SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar > 2"
REQUIRED FLAGS
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--cluster=CLUSTER
The Dataproc cluster to submit the job to.
--cluster-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores(_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

Labels of Dataproc cluster on which to place the job.

Exactly one of these must be specified:
--execute=QUERY,-eQUERY
A Spark SQL query to execute as part of the job.
--file=FILE,-fFILE
HCFS URI of file containing Spark SQL script to execute as the job.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--bucket=BUCKET
The Cloud Storage bucket to stage files in. Defaults to the cluster's configuredbucket.
--driver-log-levels=[PACKAGE=LEVEL,…]
A list of package to log4j log level pairs to configure driver logging. Forexample: root=FATAL,com.example=INFO
--driver-required-memory-mb=DRIVER_REQUIRED_MEMORY_MB
The memory allocation requested by the job driver in megabytes (MB) forexecution on the driver node group (it is used only by clusters with a drivernode group).
--driver-required-vcores=DRIVER_REQUIRED_VCORES
The vCPU allocation requested by the job driver for execution on the driver nodegroup (it is used only by clusters with a driver node group).
--jars=[JAR,…]
Comma separated list of jar files to be provided to the executor and driverclasspaths. May contain UDFs.
--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores(_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--max-failures-per-hour=MAX_FAILURES_PER_HOUR
Specifies the maximum number of times a job can be restarted per hour in eventof failure. Default is 0 (no retries after job failure).
--max-failures-total=MAX_FAILURES_TOTAL
Specifies the maximum total number of times a job can be restarted after the jobfails. Default is 0 (no retries after job failure).
--params=[PARAM=VALUE,…]
A list of key value pairs to set variables in the Hive queries.
--properties=[PROPERTY=VALUE,…]
A list of key value pairs to configure Hive.
--properties-file=PROPERTIES_FILE
Path to a local file or a file in a Cloud Storage bucket containingconfiguration properties for the job. The client machine running this commandmust have read permission to the file.

Specify properties in the form of property=value in the text file. For example:

# Properties to set for the job:key1=value1key2=value2# Comment out properties not used.# key3=value3

If a property is set in both--properties and--properties-file, the value defined in--propertiestakes precedence.

--region=REGION
Dataproc region to use. Each Dataproc region constitutes an independent resourcenamespace constrained to deploying instances into Compute Engine zones insidethe region. Overrides the defaultdataproc/region property valuefor this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands:--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.
