<p>This tutorial provides a quick introduction to using Spark. We will first introduce the API through Spark’s
interactive shell (in Python or Scala),
then show how to write applications in Java, Scala, and Python.
See the <a href="programming-guide.html">programming guide</a> for a more complete reference.</p>
<p>To follow along with this guide, first download a packaged release of Spark from the
<a href="http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html">Spark website</a>. Since we won’t be using HDFS,
you can download a package for any version of Hadoop.</p>
<h1 id="interactive-analysis-with-the-spark-shell">Interactive Analysis with the Spark Shell</h1>
<h2 id="basics">Basics</h2>
<p>Spark’s shell provides a simple way to learn the API, as well as a powerful tool to analyze data interactively.
It is available in either Scala (which runs on the Java VM and is thus a good way to use existing Java libraries)
or Python. Start it by running the following in the Spark directory:</p>
<div class="codetabs">
<div data-lang="scala">
<pre><code>./bin/spark-shell
</code></pre>
<p>Spark’s primary abstraction is a distributed collection of items called a Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD). RDDs can be created from Hadoop InputFormats (such as HDFS files) or by transforming other RDDs. Let’s make a new RDD from the text of the README file in the Spark source directory:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-scala" data-lang="scala"><span class="n">scala</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="k">val</span> <span class="n">textFile</span> <span class="k">=</span> <span class="n">sc</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">textFile</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s">"README.md"</span><span class="o">)</span>

<p>RDDs have <em><a href="programming-guide.html#actions">actions</a></em>, which return values, and <em><a href="programming-guide.html#transformations">transformations</a></em>, which return pointers to new RDDs. Let’s start with a few actions:</p>

<p>Now let’s use a transformation. We will use the <a href="programming-guide.html#transformations"><code>filter</code></a> transformation to return a new RDD with a subset of the items in the file.</p>

For example, we can easily call functions declared elsewhere. We’ll use <code>Math.max()</code> function to make this code easier to understand:</p>

<h2 id="caching">Caching</h2>
<p>Spark also supports pulling data sets into a cluster-wide in-memory cache. This is very useful when data is accessed repeatedly, such as when querying a small “hot” dataset or when running an iterative algorithm like PageRank. As a simple example, let’s mark our <code>linesWithSpark</code> dataset to be cached:</p>

that these same functions can be used on very large data sets, even when they are striped across

<h1 id="self-contained-applications">Self-Contained Applications</h1>

<span class="o">}</span></code></pre></div>
<p>Note that applications should define a <code>main()</code> method instead of extending <code>scala.App</code>.
Subclasses of <code>scala.App</code> may not work correctly.</p>
<p>This program just counts the number of lines containing ‘a’ and the number containing ‘b’ in the
Spark README. Note that you’ll need to replace YOUR_SPARK_HOME with the location where Spark is
installed. Unlike the earlier examples with the Spark shell, which initializes its own SparkContext,
we initialize a SparkContext as part of the program.</p>
<p>We pass the SparkContext constructor a
<a href="api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.SparkConf">SparkConf</a>
object which contains information about our
application. </p>
<p>Our application depends on the Spark API, so we’ll also include an sbt configuration file,
<code>simple.sbt</code> which explains that Spark is a dependency. This file also adds a repository that
Spark depends on:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-scala" data-lang="scala"><span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">:=</span> <span class="s">"Simple Project"</span>
<span class="n">version</span> <span class="o">:=</span> <span class="s">"1.0"</span>

<p>For sbt to work correctly, we’ll need to layout <code>SimpleApp.scala</code> and <code>simple.sbt</code>
according to the typical directory structure. Once that is in place, we can create a JAR package
containing the application’s code, then use the <code>spark-submit</code> script to run our program.</p>

<p>This program just counts the number of lines containing ‘a’ and the number containing ‘b’ in a text
file. Note that you’ll need to replace YOUR_SPARK_HOME with the location where Spark is installed.
As with the Scala example, we initialize a SparkContext, though we use the special
<code>JavaSparkContext</code> class to get a Java-friendly one. We also create RDDs (represented by
<code>JavaRDD</code>) and run transformations on them. Finally, we pass functions to Spark by creating classes
that extend <code>spark.api.java.function.Function</code>. The
<a href="programming-guide.html">Spark programming guide</a> describes these differences in more detail.</p>
<p>To build the program, we also write a Maven <code>pom.xml</code> file that lists Spark as a dependency.
Note that Spark artifacts are tagged with a Scala version.</p>

<p>This program just counts the number of lines containing ‘a’ and the number containing ‘b’ in a
text file.
Note that you’ll need to replace YOUR_SPARK_HOME with the location where Spark is installed.
As with the Scala and Java examples, we use a SparkContext to create RDDs.
We can pass Python functions to Spark, which are automatically serialized along with any variables
that they reference.
For applications that use custom classes or third-party libraries, we can also add code
dependencies to <code>spark-submit</code> through its <code>--py-files</code> argument by packaging them into a
.zip file (see <code>spark-submit --help</code> for details).
<code>SimpleApp</code> is simple enough that we do not need to specify any code dependencies.</p>
