Configure Spark prerequisites

Before you can start using on-demand Spark clusters on Domino, you must enable and configure the functionality on your deployment.

Your Domino administrator must set ShortLived.SparkClustersEnabled and ShortLived.UseNewWorkspaceChrome to true to enable on-demand Spark functionality.

Create a base Spark cluster environment

By default, Domino does not come with a Spark compatible compute environment that can be used for the components of the cluster. Without at least one such environment available, you cannot create a cluster.

When using on-demand Spark in Domino, you need one environment for the Spark cluster (base or worker environment) and one environment for the workspace/job execution (compute environment).

Create a new base Spark cluster environment

  1. Follow the instructions to create an environment.

  2. In the Base image section, select Custom Image and specify an image URI that points to a deployable Spark image.
