4 title: "Running a Crunch job on the command line"
7 This tutorial introduces how to run individual Crunch jobs using the @arv@ command line tool.
9 *This tutorial assumes that you are "logged into an Arvados VM instance":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access.html#login, and have a "working environment.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/check-environment.html*
11 You will create a job to run the "hash" crunch script. The "hash" script computes the md5 hash of each file in a collection.
15 Crunch pipelines consist of one or more jobs. A "job" is a single run of a specific version of a crunch script with a specific input. You an also run jobs individually.
17 A request to run a crunch job are is described using a JSON object. For example:
20 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">cat >the_job <<EOF
23 "repository": "arvados",
24 "script_version": "master",
25 "script_parameters": {
26 "input": "c1bad4b39ca5a924e481008009d94e32+210"
33 * @cat@ is a standard Unix utility that simply copies standard input to standard output
34 * @<<EOF@ tells the shell to direct the following lines into the standard input for @cat@ up until it sees the line @EOF@
35 * @>the_job@ redirects standard output to a file called @the_job@
36 * @"script"@ specifies the name of the script to run. The script is searched for in the "crunch_scripts/" subdirectory of the @git@ checkout specified by @"script_version"@.
37 * @"repository"@ is the git repository to search for the script version. You can access a list of available @git@ repositories on the Arvados workbench under "Compute %(rarr)→% Code repositories":https://{{site.arvados_workbench_host}}//repositories .
38 * @"script_version"@ specifies the version of the script that you wish to run. This can be in the form of an explicit @git@ revision hash, a tag, or a branch (in which case it will take the HEAD of the specified branch). Arvados logs the script version that was used in the run, enabling you to go back and re-run any past job with the guarantee that the exact same code will be used as was used in the previous run.
39 * @"script_parameters"@ are provided to the script. In this case, the input is the locator for the collection that we inspected in the previous section.
41 Use @arv job create@ to actually submit the job. It should print out a JSON object which describes the newly created job:
44 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv job create --job "$(cat the_job)"</span>

83 The job is now queued and will start running as soon as it reaches the front of the queue. Fields to pay attention to include:
85 * @"uuid"@ is the unique identifier for this specific job
86 * @"script_version"@ is the actual revision of the script used. This is useful if the version was described using the "repository:branch" format.
88 h2. Monitor job progress
90 Go to the "Workbench dashboard":https://{{site.arvados_workbench_host}}. Your job should be at the top of the "Recent jobs" table. This table refreshes automatically. When the job has completed successfully, it will show <span class="label label-success">finished</span> in the *Status* column.
92 On the command line, you can access log messages while the job runs using @arv job log_tail_follow@:
94 notextile. <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv job log_tail_follow --uuid qr1hi-8i9sb-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</span></code></pre>
96 This will print out the last several lines of the log for that job.
98 h2. Inspect the job output
100 On the "Workbench dashboard":https://{{site.arvados_workbench_host}}, look for the *Output* column of the *Recent jobs* table. Click on the link under *Output* for your job to go to the files page with the job output. The files page lists all the files that were output by the job. Click on the link under the *files* column to view a file, or click on the download icon <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-download-alt"></span> to download the output file.
102 On the command line, you can use @arv job get@ to access a JSON object describing the output:
105 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv job get --uuid qr1hi-8i9sb-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</span>

149 * @"output"@ is the unique identifier for this specific job's output. This is a Keep collection. Because the output of Arvados jobs should be deterministic, the known expected output is <code>dd755dbc8d49a67f4fe7dc843e4f10a6+54</code>.
151 Now you can list the files in the collection:
154 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv keep ls dd755dbc8d49a67f4fe7dc843e4f10a6+54</span>
159 This collection consists of the @md5sum.txt@ file. Use @arv keep get@ to show the contents of the @md5sum.txt@ file:
162 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv keep get dd755dbc8d49a67f4fe7dc843e4f10a6+54/md5sum.txt</span>
163 44b8ae3fde7a8a88d2f7ebd237625b4f ./var-GS000016015-ASM.tsv.bz2
167 This md5 hash matches the md5 hash which we computed earlier.
171 When the job completes, you can access the job log. On the workbench dashboard, this is the link under the *Log* column of the *Recent jobs* table.
173 On the command line, the keep identifier listed in the @"log"@ field from @arv job get@ specifies a collection. You can list the files in the collection:
176 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv keep ls xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+91</span>
177 qr1hi-8i9sb-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.log.txt
181 The log collection consists of one log file named with the job id. You can access it using @arv keep get@:
184 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arv keep get xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+91/qr1hi-8i9sb-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.log.txt</span>
