SparkContext

class SparkContext extends Logging with ExecutorAllocationClient

Main entry point for Spark functionality. A SparkContext represents the connection to a Spark cluster, and can be used to create RDDs, accumulators and broadcast variables on that cluster.

Only one SparkContext may be active per JVM. You must stop() the active SparkContext before creating a new one. This limitation may eventually be removed; see SPARK-2243 for more details.

    Get an RDD for a Hadoop-readable dataset as PortableDataStream for each file (useful for binary data)

    hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00001
    ...
    hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn

  95. def sequenceFile[K, V](path: String, minPartitions: Int = defaultMinPartitions)(implicit km: ClassTag[K], vm: ClassTag[V], kcf: () ⇒ WritableConverter[K], vcf: () ⇒ WritableConverter[V]): RDD[(K, V)]

    Version of sequenceFile() for types implicitly convertible to Writables through a WritableConverter.

    Version of sequenceFile() for types implicitly convertible to Writables through a WritableConverter. For example, to access a SequenceFile where the keys are Text and the values are IntWritable, you could simply write

    sparkContext.sequenceFile[String, Int](path, ...)

    WritableConverters are provided in a somewhat strange way (by an implicit function) to support both subclasses of Writable and types for which we define a converter (e.g. Int to IntWritable). The most natural thing would've been to have implicit objects for the converters, but then we couldn't have an object for every subclass of Writable (you can't have a parameterized singleton object). We use functions instead to create a new converter for the appropriate type. In addition, we pass the converter a ClassTag of its type to allow it to figure out the Writable class to use in the subclass case.

    Note: Because Hadoop's RecordReader class re-uses the same Writable object for each record, directly caching the returned RDD or directly passing it to an aggregation or shuffle operation will create many references to the same object. If you plan to directly cache, sort, or aggregate Hadoop writable objects, you should first copy them using a map function.

  101. def setJobGroup(groupId: String, description: String, interruptOnCancel: Boolean = false): Unit

    Assigns a group ID to all the jobs started by this thread until the group ID is set to a different value or cleared.

    Assigns a group ID to all the jobs started by this thread until the group ID is set to a different value or cleared.

    Often, a unit of execution in an application consists of multiple Spark actions or jobs. Application programmers can use this method to group all those jobs together and give a group description. Once set, the Spark web UI will associate such jobs with this group.

    The application can also use org.apache.spark.SparkContext.cancelJobGroup to cancel all running jobs in this group. For example,

    // In the main thread:
    sc.setJobGroup("some_job_to_cancel", "some job description")
    sc.parallelize(1 to 10000, 2).map { i => Thread.sleep(10); i }.count()
    
    // In a separate thread:
    sc.cancelJobGroup("some_job_to_cancel")

    If interruptOnCancel is set to true for the job group, then job cancellation will result in Thread.interrupt() being called on the job's executor threads. This is useful to help ensure that the tasks are actually stopped in a timely manner, but is off by default due to HDFS-1208, where HDFS may respond to Thread.interrupt() by marking nodes as dead.

  102. def setLocalProperty(key: String, value: String): Unit

  118. def wholeTextFiles(path: String, minPartitions: Int = defaultMinPartitions): RDD[(String, String)]

    Read a directory of text files from HDFS, a local file system (available on all nodes), or any Hadoop-supported file system URI.

    Read a directory of text files from HDFS, a local file system (available on all nodes), or any Hadoop-supported file system URI. Each file is read as a single record and returned in a key-value pair, where the key is the path of each file, the value is the content of each file.

    For example, if you have the following files:

    hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00000
    hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00001
    ...
    hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn

    Do val rdd = sparkContext.wholeTextFile("hdfs://a-hdfs-path"),

    then rdd contains

    (a-hdfs-path/part-00000, its content)
    (a-hdfs-path/part-00001, its content)
    ...
    (a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn, its content)
    path

    Directory to the input data files, the path can be comma separated paths as the list of inputs.

    minPartitions

    A suggestion value of the minimal splitting number for input data.

    Note

    On some filesystems, .../path/* can be a more efficient way to read all files in a directory rather than .../path/ or .../path

    ,

    Small files are preferred, large file is also allowable, but may cause bad performance.
