Using Scala

In order to use Spark in Scala, environment has to bee set up according to Using Spark in UFAL Environment (including the sbt).

Starting Interactive Shell

Interactive shell can be started using:

spark-shell

As described in Running Spark on Single Machine or on Cluster, environmental variable MASTER specifies which Spark master to use (or whether to start a local one).

Usage Examples

Consider the following simple script computing 10 most frequent words of Czech Wikipedia:

(sc.textFile("/net/projects/spark-example-data/wiki-cs", 3*sc.defaultParallelism)
   .flatMap(_.split("\\s"))
   .map((_,1)).reduceByKey(_+_)
   .sortBy(_._2, ascending=false)
   .take(10))
spark-shell
MASTER=local spark-shell
spark-qrsh 10 1G spark-shell

Running Scala Spark Applications

Compiled Scala Spark program (JAR) can be started using:

spark-submit

As described in Running Spark on Single Machine or on Cluster, environmental variable MASTER specifies which Spark master to use (or whether to start a local one).

Compilation of Scala Spark Programs

If you do not know how to compile Scala programs, you can use the following directions:

  1. create a directory for your project
  2. copy /net/projects/spark/sbt/spark-template.sbt to your project directory and rename it to your project name (i.e., my-best-project.sbt)
  3. replace the spark-template by your project name in the first line (i.e., name := “my-best-project”)
  4. run sbt package to create JAR (note that first run of sbt will take several minutes)

The resulting JAR can be found in target/scala-2.11 subdirectory, named after your project.

Usage Examples

Consider the following simple word-count application word_count.scala:

import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
 
object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    if (args.length < 2) sys.error("Usage: input output")
    val (input, output) = (args(0), args(1))
 
    val sc = new SparkContext()
    sc.textFile(input, 3*sc.defaultParallelism)
      .flatMap(_.split("\\s"))
      .map((_,1)).reduceByKey(_+_)
      .sortBy(_._2, ascending=false)
      .saveAsTextFile(output)
    sc.stop()
  }
}

The sbt project file word_count.sbt:

name := "word_count"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.11.12"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "2.3.2"
sbt package
spark-submit target/scala-2.11/word_count_2.11-1.0.jar /net/projects/spark-example-data/wiki-cs outdir
MASTER=local spark-submit target/scala-2.11/word_count_2.11-1.0.jar /net/projects/spark-example-data/wiki-cs outdir
spark-qsub 10 1G spark-submit target/scala-2.11/word_count_2.11-1.0.jar /net/projects/spark-example-data/wiki-cs outdir
