How to keep Google Dataproc master running?

问题

I created a cluster on Dataproc and it works great. However, after the cluster is idle for a while (~90 min), the master node will automatically stops. This happens to every cluster I created. I see there is a similar question here: Keep running Dataproc Master node

It looks like it's the initialization action problem. However the post does not give me enough info to fix the issue. Below are the commands I used to create the cluster:

gcloud dataproc clusters create $CLUSTER_NAME \
    --project $PROJECT \
    --bucket $BUCKET \
    --region $REGION \
    --zone $ZONE \
    --master-machine-type $MASTER_MACHINE_TYPE \
    --master-boot-disk-size $MASTER_DISK_SIZE \
    --worker-boot-disk-size $WORKER_DISK_SIZE \
    --num-workers=$NUM_WORKERS \
    --initialization-actions gs://dataproc-initialization-actions/connectors/connectors.sh,gs://dataproc-initialization-actions/datalab/datalab.sh \
    --metadata gcs-connector-version=$GCS_CONNECTOR_VERSION \
    --metadata bigquery-connector-version=$BQ_CONNECTOR_VERSION \
    --scopes cloud-platform \
    --metadata JUPYTER_CONDA_PACKAGES=numpy:scipy:pandas:scikit-learn \
    --optional-components=ANACONDA,JUPYTER \
    --image-version=1.3

I need the BigQuery connector, GCS connector, Jupyter and DataLab for my cluster.

How can I keep my master node running? Thank you.

As summarized in the comment thread, this is indeed caused by Datalab's auto-shutdown feature. There are a couple ways to change this behavior:

Upon first creating the Datalab-enabled Dataproc cluster, log in to Datalab and click on the "Idle timeout in about ..." text to disable it: https://cloud.google.com/datalab/docs/concepts/auto-shutdown#disabling_the_auto_shutdown_timer - The text will change to "Idle timeout is disabled"

Edit the initialization action to set the environment variable as suggested by yelsayed:

function run_datalab(){
  if docker run -d --restart always --net=host -e "DATALAB_DISABLE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_PROCESS=true" \
      -v "${DATALAB_DIR}:/content/datalab" ${VOLUME_FLAGS} datalab-pyspark; then
    echo 'Cloud Datalab Jupyter server successfully deployed.'
  else
    err 'Failed to run Cloud Datalab'
  fi
}

And use your custom initialization action instead of the stock gs://dataproc-initialization-actions one. It could be worth filing a tracking issue in the github repo for dataproc initialization actions too, suggesting to disable the timeout by default or provide an easy metadata-based option. It's probably true that the auto-shutdown behavior isn't as expected in default usage on a Dataproc cluster since the master is also performing roles other than running the Datalab service.
