Lightning-Fast Cluster Computing - http://www.spark-project.org/

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project webpage at http://spark-project.org/documentation.html. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building

Spark requires Scala 2.9.2. The project is built using Simple Build Tool (SBT), which is packaged with it. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

sbt/sbt package

To run Spark, you will need to have Scala's bin directory in your PATH, or you will need to set the SCALA_HOME environment variable to point to where you've installed Scala. Scala must be accessible through one of these methods on your cluster's worker nodes as well as its master.

To run one of the examples, use ./run <class> <params>. For example:

./run spark.examples.SparkLR local[2]

will run the Logistic Regression example locally on 2 CPUs.

Each of the example programs prints usage help if no params are given.

All of the Spark samples take a <host> parameter that is the cluster URL to connect to. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, or "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the HDFS API has changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs. You can change the version by setting the HADOOP_VERSION variable at the top of project/SparkBuild.scala, then rebuilding Spark.

Configuration

Please refer to the "Configuration" guide in the online documentation for a full overview on how to configure Spark. At the minimum, you will need to create a conf/spark-env.sh script (copy conf/spark-env.sh.template) and set the following two variables:

  • SCALA_HOME: Location where Scala is installed.

  • MESOS_NATIVE_LIBRARY: Your Mesos library (only needed if you want to run on Mesos). For example, this might be /usr/local/lib/libmesos.so on Linux.
