Understanding ResourceNotFoundException in Amazon EMR Containers
Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce) Containers provide a powerful way to run big data frameworks like Apache Spark and Hadoop on the AWS cloud. When working with this service, developers might encounter various exceptions, one of which is ResourceNotFoundException. Understanding this exception is crucial for troubleshooting issues and ensuring smooth operations. This article provides an in-depth look at ResourceNotFoundException in the com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.model package.
What is ResourceNotFoundException?
ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when an API call attempts to access a resource that does not exist or cannot be found. In the context of Amazon EMR Containers, this exception can occur for several reasons, such as when trying to access a nonexistent job run, workflow, or any other resource related to EMR Containers.
Common Scenarios Leading to ResourceNotFoundException
- Job Run Not Found: Attempting to get the status of a job run that has either not been started or has already completed and been deleted.
- Invalid Workflow: If the specified workflow does not exist or has been deleted.
- Misconfigured Resources: Ensuring that the correct identifiers for resources are used in API calls is crucial.
Example Use Cases
Let’s look at some examples of how to handle ResourceNotFoundException when working with Amazon EMR Containers.
Example of Handling ResourceNotFoundException
In this example, we will show how to handle a ResourceNotFoundException when attempting to retrieve the status of a job run:

import com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.AmazonEMRContainers;
import com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.AmazonEMRContainersClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.model.GetJobRunRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.model.ResourceNotFoundException;
import com.amazonaws.services.emrcontainers.model.GetJobRunResult;
public class EMRContainersExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String jobRunId = "YOUR_JOB_RUN_ID";
String virtualClusterId = "YOUR_VIRTUAL_CLUSTER_ID";
AmazonEMRContainers emrContainers = AmazonEMRContainersClientBuilder.defaultClient();
try {
GetJobRunRequest request = new GetJobRunRequest()
.withJobRunId(jobRunId)
.withVirtualClusterId(virtualClusterId);
GetJobRunResult result = emrContainers.getJobRun(request);
System.out.println("Job Run Status: " + result.getJobRun().getStatus());
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
System.err.println("Error: The specified job run does not exist.");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("An error occurred: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Tips for Preventing ResourceNotFoundException
- Trace Resource IDs: Keep track of the resource IDs generated by AWS EMR Containers and ensure they are valid before making requests.
- Check State Before Access: Always check the state of a job run or workflow before trying to perform operations on them.
- Proper Cleanup: Implement proper cleanup strategies to remove resources when no longer needed, but be cautious of timing issues.
Additional Best Practices
When working with Amazon EMR Containers, consider the following best practices to minimize the occurrence of ResourceNotFoundException:
Implementing Logging for Better Troubleshooting
Logging can help trace API calls and quickly identify when and why a ResourceNotFoundException was thrown. Below is an example of a simple logging mechanism in connection with the previous example.

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class EMRContainersLoggerExample {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(EMRContainersLoggerExample.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
String jobRunId = "YOUR_JOB_RUN_ID";
String virtualClusterId = "YOUR_VIRTUAL_CLUSTER_ID";
AmazonEMRContainers emrContainers = AmazonEMRContainersClientBuilder.defaultClient();
try {
GetJobRunRequest request = new GetJobRunRequest()
.withJobRunId(jobRunId)
.withVirtualClusterId(virtualClusterId);
GetJobRunResult result = emrContainers.getJobRun(request);
logger.info("Job Run Status: {}", result.getJobRun().getStatus());
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
logger.error("ResourceNotFoundException: The specified job run {} does not exist.", jobRunId, e);
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("An error occurred: {}", e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
}
Using the AWS SDK for Error Handling
The AWS SDK provides ways to handle exceptions, including retries on transient failures. You can implement retries in your API call strategy to avoid unexpected failures.

// Pseudocode for implementing retries
import com.amazonaws.AmazonServiceException;
public class EMRContainersRetryExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Previous code...
int retries = 3;
while (retries > 0) {
try {
// Call to getJobRun...
break; // Exit loop if successful
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
// Handle specific case
logger.error("ResourceNotFoundException: Job run not found.", e);
break; // Exit loop after this specific exception
} catch (AmazonServiceException e) {
logger.error("Service exception occurred: {}", e.getMessage());
retries--;
if (retries == 0) {
// Final failure
logger.error("Max retries reached. Exiting.");
}
}
}
}
}
Conclusion
Understanding ResourceNotFoundException is fundamental in developing applications with Amazon EMR Containers. Knowing when and why this exception occurs enables better error handling, making your applications more robust. By implementing proper logging, error handling, and resource tracking, you can prevent and troubleshoot these exceptions effectively.
