Apache Spark Lecture by: Faria Kalim (lead TA) CS425, UIUC
Why Spark? Another system for big data analytics Isn t MapReduce good enough? Simplifies batch processing on large commodity clusters
Why Spark? MapReduce can be expensive for some applications e.g., Iterative Interactive Lacks efficient data sharing Specialized frameworks did evolve for different programming models Bulk Synchronous Processing (Pregel) Iterative MapReduce (Haloop) .
Solution: Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) RDDs Immutable, partitioned collection of records Built through coarse grained transformations (map, join ) Can be cached for efficient reuse
RDD RDD RDD Read HDFS Cache Read Reduce Map
Solution: Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) RDDs Immutable, partitioned collection of records Built through coarse grained, ordered transformations (map, join ) Fault Recovery? Lineage! Log the coarse grained operation applied to a partitioned dataset Simply recompute the lost partition if failure occurs! No cost if no failure

What can you do with Spark? RDD operations Transformations e.g., filter, join, map, group-by Actions e.g., count, print Control Partitioning Persistence
Partitioning PageRank Links Ranks (url, ranks) Joins take place repeatedly (url, neighbors) Good partitioning reduces shuffles Contributions Ranks (url, ranks) Contributions
Generality RDDs allow unification of different programming models Stream Processing Graph Processing Machine Learning ..
