What is Pivotal?

� Cloud, Big Data, Fast Data, Modern Apps

� Technology Bets –  HDFS will be the way we talk to Enterprise data repositories

▪  Consolidate Silos in “Data Lake” ▪  Eco-system of services will arise to utilize HDFS data

–  PaaS will manage the Application Life Cycle –  OSS will be the basis for solutions –  Cloud Architecture

▪  Distributed / Parallel ▪  CPU, Memory, Network … storage is a distributed service

What Is Spark? Hint: It’s all about the RDD


?

�  Is it “Big Data”

�  Is it “Hadoop”

�  It’s one of those “in memory” things, right

�  JVM, Java, Scala

�  Is it Real or just another shiny technology with a long, but ultimately small tail


Spark is … �  Distributed/Cluster Compute Execution Engine –  Came out of AMPLab project at UCB, now ASF top level project

�  Designed to work with data in memory

�  Similar scalability and fault tolerance as Hadoop Map/Reduce –  Utilizes Lineage to reconstitute data instead of replication

�  Generalization of Map/Reduce –  Implementation of Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD)

�  Programmatic or Interactive

�  Written in Scala


Spark is also … �  An ASF Top Level project

�  Has ~100 contributors across 25 companies –  More active than Hadoop MapReduce

�  An eco-system of domain specific tools –  Different models, but mostly interoperable

�  Hadoop Compatible


Berkley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS)

Support

� Batch

� Streaming

�  Interactive

Make it easy to compose them


Short History �  2009 Started as research project at UCB

�  2010 Open Sourced

�  January 2011 AMPLab Created

�  October 2012 0.6 –  Java, Stand alone cluster, maven

�  June 21 2013 Spark accepted into ASF Incubator

�  Feb 27 2014 Spark becomes top level ASF project

�  May 30 2014 Spark 1.0


Spark Philosophy

� Make life easy and productive for Data Scientists

� Provide well documented and expressive APIs

� Powerful Domain Specific Libraries

� Easy integration with storage systems

� Caching to avoid data movement (performance)

� Well defined releases, stable API


Spark is not Hadoop, but is compatible

� Often better than Hadoop (Eric Baldeschwieler) –  M/R fine for “Data Parallel”, but awkward for some workloads –  Low latency dispatch, Iterative, Streaming

� Natively accesses Hadoop data

� Spark just another YARN job –  Maintains huge investment in data collection –  Brings Spark to the Data

�  It’s not OR … it’s AND!


Improvements over Map/Reduce

� Efficiency –  General Execution Graphs (not just map->reduce->store) –  In memory

� Usability –  Rich APIs in Scala, Java, Python –  Interactive

� Can Spark be the R for Big Data?


Spark Programming Model RDDs in Detail


Core Concept

Think of a program as a set of transformations on a Distributed Dataset

Model: Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) –  Read Only Collection of Objects spread across a cluster –  RDDs are built through parallel transformations (map, filter, etc.) –  Automatically rebuilt on failure using lineage –  Controllable persistence (RAM, HDFS, etc.)


Operations

� Create –  From stable storage (hdfs)

� Transform –  Generate RDD from other RDD (map, filter, groupBy) –  Lazy Operations that build a DAG –  Once Spark knows your transformations it can build an efficient plan

� Action –  Return a result or write to storage (count, collect, reduce, save)


Demo: Log Mining

� Scala shell

� Load file from HDFS

� Search for patterns


Transformation and Actions

� Transformations –  Map –  filter –  flatMap –  sample –  groupByKey –  reduceByKey –  union –  join –  sort

� Actions –  count –  collect –  reduce –  lookup –  save


RDD Fault Tolerance

� RDDs maintain lineage information that can be used to reconstruct lost partitions

cachedMsgs = textFile(...).filter(_.contains(“error”)) .map(_.split(‘\t’)(2)) .cache()

HdfsRDD path: hdfs://…

FilteredRDD func: contains(...)

MappedRDD func: split(…) CachedRDD


RDDs are Foundational

� General purpose enough to use to implement other programing models –  SQL –  Graph –  ML –  MR


Related Projects Things that run on Spark


Related Projects

� Shark

� Spark SQL

� Spark Streaming

� GraphX

� MLbase

� Others


Shark

� Hive on Spark –  HiveQL, UDFs, etc.

� Turn SQL into RDD –  Part of the lineage

� Based on Hive, but takes advantage of Spark for –  Fast Scheduling –  Queries are DAGs of jobs, not chained M/R –  Fast broadcast variables

© Apache Software Foundation


Shark (cont)

� Optimized Columnar Storage format

� Fast/Efficient Compression –  From Yahoo! –  Able to hold 3-20x more data in same cluster

� Various other optimizations using partitioning

� Will ultimately run on Spark SQL –  No Hive dependencies except to accessing Hive datastore –  Long running process with management tools


Spark SQL

� Lib in Spark Core to treat RDDs as relations –  SchemaRDD

� Lighter weight version of Shark –  No code from Hive

�  Import/Export in different Storage formats –  Parquet, learn schema from existing Hive warehouse

� Takes columnar storage from Shark


Spark SQL Code

� Go take a look


Spark Streaming

� Extend Spark to do large scale stream processing –  100s of nodes and second scale end to end latency

� Stateful Processing –  Hard to make FT –  Storm: requires idempotent updates

� Simple, batch like API with RDDs

� Single semantics for both real time and high latency


Streaming (cont)

�  Input is broken up into Batches that become RDDs

� RDD’s are composed into DAGs to generate output

� Raw data is replicated in-memory for FT


Streaming (cont)

� Other features –  Window-based Transformations –  Arbitrary join of streams


GraphX (Alpha)

� Graph processing –  Replaces Spark Bagel

� Graph Parallel not Data Parallel –  Reason in the context of neighbors –  GraphLab API


GraphX (cont) �  Predicting things about people (eg: political bias) –  Look at posts, apply classifier, try to predict attribute –  Local signal is difficult alone –  Look at context of social network to improve prediction

�  Triangle processing –  More triangles reveals greater community

�  Collaborative Filtering –  Bi-partide graph processing –  What I like, who rated those things, what they like => what I may like


GraphX (cont)

� Graph Creation => Algorithm => Post Processing –  Existing systems mainly deal with the Algorithm and not interactive –  Unify collection and graph models

� Graphs have –  Vertices, edges –  Transformation: reverse, filter, map –  Joins: graphs and tables –  Aggregate Neighbors


MLbase

� Machine Learning toolset –  Library and higher level abstractions

� General tool is MatLab –  Difficult for end users to learn, debug, scale solutions

� Starting with MLlib –  Low level Distributed Machine Learning Library

� Many different Algorithms –  Classification, Regression, Collaborative Filtering, etc.


Others

� Mesos –  Enable multiple frameworks to share same cluster resources –  Twitter is largest user: Over 6,000 servers

� Tachyon –  In-memory, fault tolerant file system that exposes HDFS

� Catalyst –  SQL Query Optimizer


Spark 1.0


Release cycle

� 1.0 Came out at end of May

� 1.X expected to be current for several years

� Quarterly release cycle –  2 mo dev / 1 mo QA –  Actual release is based on vote

� 1.1 due end of August


1.0

� API Stability in 1.X for all non-Alpha projects –  Can recompile jobs, but hoping for binary compatibility –  Internal API are marked @DeveloperApi or @Experimental

� Focus: Core Engine, Streaming, MLLib, SparkSQL

� History Server for Spark UI –  Driving development of instrumentation

�  Job Submission Tool –  Don’t configure Context in code (eg: master)


1.0

�  Java8 Lamdas –  No more writing closures as Classes –  Functions are interfaces –  Return type sensitive functions

▪  mapToPair

� Python improvements


1.0

� Hadoop security –  Kerberos, ACL for UI

�  Job cancel from UI

� Distributed GC as things go out of scope –  Good for long lives service
