In the Google Cloud console, go to the Dataproc\n **Clusters** page.\n\n [Go to Clusters](https://console.cloud.google.com/dataproc/clusters)\n2. Click **Create cluster**.\n\n3. In the **Create Dataproc cluster** dialog, click **Create** in\n the **Cluster on Compute Engine** row.\n\n4. In the **Cluster name** field, enter `example-cluster`.\n\n5. In the **Region** and **Zone** lists, select a region and zone.\n\n Select a region (for example, `us-east1` or `europe-west1`)\n to isolate resources, such as virtual machine (VM) instances and\n Cloud Storage and metadata storage locations that are utilized by\n Dataproc, in the region. For more\n information, see\n [Available regions and zones](/compute/docs/regions-zones/regions-zones#available)\n and\n [Regional endpoints](/dataproc/docs/concepts/regional-endpoints).\n6. For all the other options, use the default settings.\n\n7. To create the cluster, click **Create**.\n\n Your new cluster appears in a list on the **Clusters** page. The status is\n **Provisioning** until the cluster is ready to use, and then the status\n changes to **Running**. Provisioning the cluster might take a couple of\n minutes.\n\nSubmit a Spark job\n\nSubmit a Spark job that estimates a value of Pi:\n\n1. In the Dataproc navigation menu, click **Jobs**.\n2. On the **Jobs** page, click\n add_box **Submit job**, and then do\n the following:\n\n 1. In the **Job ID** field, use the default setting, or provide an ID that is unique to your Google Cloud project.\n 2. In the **Cluster** drop-down, select **`example-cluster`**.\n 3. For **Job type** , select **Spark**.\n 4. In the **Main class or jar** field, enter `org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi`.\n 5. In the **Jar files** field, enter `file:///usr/lib/spark/examples/jars/spark-examples.jar`.\n 6. In the **Arguments** field, enter `1000` to set the number of tasks.\n\n | **Note:** The Spark job estimates Pi by using the [Monte Carlo method](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method). It generates *x* and *y* points on a coordinate plane that models a circle enclosed by a unit square. The input argument (`1000`) determines the number of x-y pairs to generate; the more pairs generated, the greater the accuracy of the estimation. This estimation uses Dataproc worker nodes to parallelize the computation. For more information, see [Estimating Pi using the Monte Carlo Method](https://academo.org/demos/estimating-pi-monte-carlo/) and [JavaSparkPi.java on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/spark/examples/JavaSparkPi.java).\n 7. Click **Submit**.\n\n Your job is displayed on the **Job details** page. The job status is\n **Running** or **Starting** , and then it changes to **Succeeded** after\n it's submitted.\n\n To avoid scrolling in the output, click **Line wrap: off**. The output\n is similar to the following: \n\n ```\n Pi is roughly 3.1416759514167594\n ```\n\n To view job details, click the **Configuration** tab.\n\nUpdate a cluster\n\nUpdate your cluster by changing the number of worker instances:\n\n1. In the Dataproc navigation menu, click **Clusters**.\n2. In the list of clusters, click **`example-cluster`**.\n3. On the **Cluster details** page, click the **Configuration** tab.\n\n Your cluster settings are displayed.\n4. Click mode_edit **Edit**.\n\n5. In the **Worker nodes** field, enter `5`.\n\n6. Click **Save**.\n\nYour cluster is now updated. To decrease the number of worker nodes to the\noriginal value, follow the same procedure.\n\nClean up\n\n\nTo avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for\nthe resources used on this page, follow these steps.\n\n1. To delete the cluster, on the **Cluster details** page for **`example-cluster`** , click delete **Delete**.\n2. To confirm that you want to delete the cluster, click **Delete**.\n\nWhat's next\n\n- Try this quickstart by using other tools:\n - [Use the API Explorer](/dataproc/docs/quickstarts/create-cluster-template).\n - [Use the Google Cloud CLI](/dataproc/docs/quickstarts/create-cluster-gcloud).\n- Learn how to [create robust firewall rules when you create a project](/dataproc/docs/concepts/configuring-clusters/network).\n- Learn how to [write and run a Spark Scala job](/dataproc/docs/tutorials/spark-scala)."]]
