Jupyter Integration
You can use JupyterLab to access OmniSciDB.
- Installing Jupyter with OmniSciDB
- Adding Jupyter to an Existing OmniSciDB Instance
- Creating the jhub_omnisci_dropbox Directory
- Using Jupyter
Installing Jupyter with OmniSciDB
- Install the NVIDIA drivers and nvidia-docker for your operating system, using the instructions at https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker.
- For Apt-based installations, such as Ubuntu, use the Docker preparation instructions.
- Change the default Docker runtime to
nvidia
and restart Docker.- Edit
/etc/docker/daemon.json
and add"default-runtime": "nvidia"
. The resulting file should look similar to the following:{ "default-runtime": "nvidia", "runtimes": { "nvidia": { "path": "nvidia-container-runtime", "runtimeArgs": [] } } }
- Restart the Docker service:
sudo systemctl restart docker
- Validate NVIDIA Docker:
docker run --rm nvidia/cuda:10.0-runtime-ubuntu18.04 nvidia-smi
- Edit
- Install
docker-compose
version 1.24 or higher:sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
- Create an OmniSci storage directory with a name of your choosing and change directories to it.
sudo mkdir /var/lib/omnisci cd /var/lib/omnisci
- Create the file
/var/lib/omnisci/omnisci.conf
, and configure thejupyter-url
setting under the[web]
section to point to the Jupyter service:[web] jupyter-url = "http://jupyterhub:8000" servers-json = "/omnisci-storage/servers.json"
- Create the file
/var/lib/omnisci/data/omnisci.license
. Copy your license key from the registration email message. If you have not received your license key, contact your Sales Representative or register for your 30-day trial here. - Create the following
/var/lib/omnisci/servers.json
entry to enable Jupyter features in Immerse. Change$HOSTNAME
to the hostname used to to access Immerse, if it is not the current machine hostname, or omit that line.[ { "database": "omnisci", "host": "$HOSTNAME", "enableJupyter": true } ]
- Create
/var/lib/omnisci/docker-compose.yml

- Run
docker-compose pull
to download the images from Docker Hub. - Make sure you are in the directory that you created in step 5, and run
compose
in detached mode:docker-compose up -d
compose
restarts by default whenever stopped. - Log in as the super user (
admin/HyperInteractive
). - Create required users in OmniSciDB.
- Create the omnisci_jupyter role in OmniSciDB:
CREATE ROLE omnisci_jupyter
- Grant the omnisci_jupyter role to users who require Jupyter access:
GRANT omnisci_jupyter TO username
You should now see Jupyter icons in the upper right of Immerse and when running queries in SQL Editor.
Adding Jupyter to an Existing OmniSciDB Instance
To use Jupyter with an existing, non-Docker install of OmniSci, change OmniSci to run on Docker instead of the host. The steps are the same as the install instructions, with the following exceptions:
- Change the volume mappings highlighted in bold to point to your existing installation path:
omnisciserver: container_name: omnisciserver image: omnisci/omnisci-ee-cuda:v5.0.1 restart: always ipc: shareable volumes: - /var/lib/omnisci:/omnisci-storage - /var/lib/omnisci/data/mapd_import/jhub_omnisci_dropbox:/jhub_omnisci_dropbox
- Enable the following environment variables and change the relevant paths,
highlighted in bold, to your existing installation:
### Optional settings ### # DOCKER_NOTEBOOK_DIR: /home/jovyan # The directory inside the user's Jupyter Lab container to mount the user volume to. # HUB_IP: jupyterhub # The hostname or IP of the Jupyter Hub server # JHUB_BASE_URL: /jupyter/ # The base URL prepended to all Jupyter Hub and Lab requests # JHUB_ENABLE_ADMIN_ACCESS: "false" # Enable / disable admin access to Jupyter Hub # JLAB_DOCKER_NETWORK_NAME: omnisci-backend # The docker network name for Jupyter Lab containers # JLAB_IDLE_TIMEOUT: 3600 # Shut down Jupyter Lab containers after this many seconds of idle time # JLAB_NAME_PREFIX: jupyterlab # Container name prefix for Lab containers JLAB_OMNISCI_IMPORT_VOLUME_PATH: /var/lib/omnisci/data/omnisci_import/jhub_omnisci_dropbox # Local Docker host path for where to mount the shared directory available to the OmniSciDB server for file ingest # JLAB_NOTEBOOK_TERMINALS_ENBLED: "false" # Enable terminals in notebooks JLAB_USER_VOLUME_PATH: /var/lib/omnisci/jupyter/ # Local Docker host path to be used for user Jupyter Lab home directory volume mapping # JUPYTER_DEBUG: "true" # Turn on / off debugging for Jupyter Hub and Lab # OMNISCIDB_CONTAINER_NAME: omnisciserver # OmniSciDB container name for IPC sharing with Lab containers OMNISCI_ALLOW_SUPERUSER_ROLE: "true" # Authorize super users access to Jupyter without needing to be given the OmniSci role specified in OMNISCI_JUPYTER_ROLE # SPAWNER_CPU_LIMIT: 1 # Number of CPU cores available for each Jupyter Lab container, see https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/spawner.html#jupyterhub.spawner.Spawner.cpu_limit # SPAWNER_RAM_LIMIT: 10G # Amount of CPU RAM available for each Jupyter Lab container, see https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/spawner.html#jupyterhub.spawner.LocalProcessSpawner.mem_limit # SPAWNER_ENV_OMNISCI_HOST: omnisciserver # Hostname / IP address of the OmniSci server for Lab containers to connect to by default # SPAWNER_ENV_OMNISCI_PORT: 6274 # Port of the OmniSci server for Lab containers to connect to by default # SPAWNER_ENV_OMNISCI_PROTOCOL: binary # Protocol of the OmniSci server for Lab containers to connect to by default
- If you have an existing omnisci.conf file:
- Add the required sections
instead of creating a new file:
[web] jupyter-url = "http://jupyterhub:8000" servers-json = "/omnisci-storage/servers.json"
- Remove the data, port, http-port, and frontend properties, which should not be changed with a Docker installation.
- Ensure that all paths, such as cert and key, are accessible by Docker.
- Add the required sections
instead of creating a new file:
- If you have an existing servers.json file, move it to your OmniSci
home directory (/var/lib/omnisci by default) and add the following key/value
pair:
"enableJupyter": true
Important | Before running docker-compose up -d , ensure that any existing
installations are stopped and disabled. For example:
sudo systemctl stop omnisci_server sudo systemctl stop omnisci_web_server sudo systemctl disable omnisci_server sudo systemctl disable omnisci_web_serverAs with any software upgrade, back up your data before you upgrade OmniSci. |
Creating the jhub_omnisci_dropbox Directory
Run the following commands to create the jhub_omnisci_dropbox directory and make it writeable by your users. Change the volume mappings highlighted in bold to point to your existing installation path:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/omnisci/data/omnisci_import/jhub_omnisci_dropbox sudo chown 1000 /var/lib/omnisci/data/omnisci_import/jhub_omnisci_dropbox sudo chmod 750 /var/lib/omnisci/data/omnisci_import/jhub_omnisci_dropbox
This allows Jupyter users to write files into /home/jovyan/jhub_omnisci_dropbox/.
You can also use that directory path in COPY FROM
SQL commands.
Upgrading Jupyter
To upgrade Jupyter images using the docker-compose.yml file shown above, and both the hub and lab are tagged latest, use the following commands to download the images and restart the services with the new versions.
docker-compose pull docker-compose up -d
You might also need to stop lab containers in order to start them again in a new image. Run the following command.
docker ps | grep jupyterlab
For each user, run the following command.
docker rm -f jupyterlab-<username>
Using Jupyter
Open JupyterLab by clicking the Jupyter icon in the upper right corner of Immerse.
JupyterLab opens in a new tab. You are signed in automatically using OmniSci authentication, with a notebook ready to start an OmniSci connection. The notebook is saved for you at the root of your Jupyter file system.
You can verify the location of your file by clicking the folder icon in the top left.
The contents of the cell are prefilled with explanatory comments and the
omnisci_connect()
method ready to set up your Omnisci connection
in Jupyter. Click the Play button to run the connection statement
and list the tables in your OmniSciDB instance.
You can continue to use con
to run more Ibis expressions in other
cells.
The connection reuses the session already in use by Immerse by passing Jupyter the raw session ID. If you connect this way without credentials, the connection has a time-to-live (TTL). After the session timeout period passes with no activity (60 minutes by default), the session is invalidated. You have to reenter Jupyter from Immerse in the same way to reestablish the connection, or use the pymapd connect method to enter your credentials manually.
You can also launch Jupyter from the Immerse SQL Editor. After you run a query in the SQL Editor, you see a button that allows you to send your query to Jupyter.
The query displays in a different notebook, ready to run the query. You must run the cell yourself to send the query and see the results.
