Starts a job run using a job definition.

post/#X-Amz-Target=AWSGlue.StartJobRun

Headers

X-Amz-Target'AWSGlue.StartJobRun' required

Request body

JobNamestring required

The name of the job definition to use.

JobRunIdstring

The ID of a previous <code>JobRun</code> to retry.

Argumentsobject
<p>The job arguments specifically for this run. For this job run, they replace the default arguments set in the job definition itself.</p> <p>You can specify arguments here that your own job-execution script consumes, as well as arguments that Glue itself consumes.</p> <p>Job arguments may be logged. Do not pass plaintext secrets as arguments. Retrieve secrets from a Glue Connection, Secrets Manager or other secret management mechanism if you intend to keep them within the Job. </p> <p>For information about how to specify and consume your own Job arguments, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-programming-python-calling.html">Calling Glue APIs in Python</a> topic in the developer guide.</p> <p>For information about the key-value pairs that Glue consumes to set up your job, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-programming-etl-glue-arguments.html">Special Parameters Used by Glue</a> topic in the developer guide.</p>
AllocatedCapacityinteger
<p>This field is deprecated. Use <code>MaxCapacity</code> instead.</p> <p>The number of Glue data processing units (DPUs) to allocate to this JobRun. You can allocate a minimum of 2 DPUs; the default is 10. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/glue/pricing/">Glue pricing page</a>.</p>This property is deprecated, use MaxCapacity instead.
Timeoutinteger
<p>The <code>JobRun</code> timeout in minutes. This is the maximum time that a job run can consume resources before it is terminated and enters <code>TIMEOUT</code> status. This value overrides the timeout value set in the parent job.</p> <p>Streaming jobs do not have a timeout. The default for non-streaming jobs is 2,880 minutes (48 hours).</p>
MaxCapacitynumber double
<p>The number of Glue data processing units (DPUs) that can be allocated when this job runs. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/glue/pricing/">Glue pricing page</a>.</p> <p>Do not set <code>Max Capacity</code> if using <code>WorkerType</code> and <code>NumberOfWorkers</code>.</p> <p>The value that can be allocated for <code>MaxCapacity</code> depends on whether you are running a Python shell job, or an Apache Spark ETL job:</p> <ul> <li> <p>When you specify a Python shell job (<code>JobCommand.Name</code>="pythonshell"), you can allocate either 0.0625 or 1 DPU. The default is 0.0625 DPU.</p> </li> <li> <p>When you specify an Apache Spark ETL job (<code>JobCommand.Name</code>="glueetl"), you can allocate a minimum of 2 DPUs. The default is 10 DPUs. This job type cannot have a fractional DPU allocation.</p> </li> </ul>
SecurityConfigurationstring

The name of the <code>SecurityConfiguration</code> structure to be used with this job run.

WorkerType'Standard' | 'G.1X' | 'G.2X' | 'G.025X'
<p>The type of predefined worker that is allocated when a job runs. Accepts a value of Standard, G.1X, G.2X, or G.025X.</p> <ul> <li> <p>For the <code>Standard</code> worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 50GB disk, and 2 executors per worker.</p> </li> <li> <p>For the <code>G.1X</code> worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 64GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.</p> </li> <li> <p>For the <code>G.2X</code> worker type, each worker provides 8 vCPU, 32 GB of memory and a 128GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.</p> </li> <li> <p>For the <code>G.025X</code> worker type, each worker maps to 0.25 DPU (2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory, 64 GB disk), and provides 1 executor per worker. We recommend this worker type for low volume streaming jobs. This worker type is only available for Glue version 3.0 streaming jobs.</p> </li> </ul>
NumberOfWorkersinteger

The number of workers of a defined <code>workerType</code> that are allocated when a job runs.

ExecutionClass'FLEX' | 'STANDARD'
<p>Indicates whether the job is run with a standard or flexible execution class. The standard execution-class is ideal for time-sensitive workloads that require fast job startup and dedicated resources.</p> <p>The flexible execution class is appropriate for time-insensitive jobs whose start and completion times may vary. </p> <p>Only jobs with Glue version 3.0 and above and command type <code>glueetl</code> will be allowed to set <code>ExecutionClass</code> to <code>FLEX</code>. The flexible execution class is available for Spark jobs.</p>

Response

Success
