Best Practices

  1. Version Selection Strategy
New Applications → Livy 3.5.5 ✅
Legacy Apps (3.3.x) → Livy 3.3.3 ⚠️
Compatibility Testing → Livy 3.5.1 🧪
  1. Port Standardization

Maintain consistent port allocation across environments:

Development: 8355, 8351, 8333
Staging: 8355, 8351, 8333
Production: 8355, 8351, 8333

  1. Client Configuration Management

Use environment-specific configuration files:

# config/livy_endpoints.py
LIVY_ENDPOINTS = {
'production': {
'3.5.5': 'http://livy-prod.company.com:8355',
'3.3.3': 'http://livy-prod.company.com:8333',
},
'staging': {
'3.5.5': 'http://livy-stg.company.com:8355',
'3.3.3': 'http://livy-stg.company.com:8333',
}
}

  1. Graceful Deprecation

When deprecating older Livy versions:

  1. Announce deprecation (3-6 months' notice)
  2. Monitor usage (track active sessions)
  3. Migrate clients (provide migration guides)
  4. Disable new sessions (read-only mode)
  5. Decommission (after all clients migrated)
