<h1 class="title">Java Programming Guide</h1>
<p>The Spark Java API exposes all the Spark features available in the Scala version to Java.
To learn the basics of Spark, we recommend reading through the
<a href="scala-programming-guide.html">Scala programming guide</a> first; it should be
easy to follow even if you don’t know Scala.
This guide will show how to use the Spark features described there in Java.</p>
<p>The Spark Java API is defined in the
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.package"><code>org.apache.spark.api.java</code></a> package, and includes
a <a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext"><code>JavaSparkContext</code></a> for
initializing Spark and <a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaRDD"><code>JavaRDD</code></a> classes,
which support the same methods as their Scala counterparts but take Java functions and return
Java data and collection types. The main differences have to do with passing functions to RDD
operations (e.g. map) and handling RDDs of different types, as discussed next.</p>
<h1 id="key-differences-in-the-java-api">Key Differences in the Java API</h1>
<p>There are a few key differences between the Java and Scala APIs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Java does not support anonymous or first-class functions, so functions must
be implemented by extending the
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function"><code>org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function</code></a>,
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function2"><code>Function2</code></a>, etc.
classes.</li>
<li>To maintain type safety, the Java API defines specialized Function and RDD
classes for key-value pairs and doubles. For example,
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaPairRDD"><code>JavaPairRDD</code></a>
stores key-value pairs.</li>
<li>RDD methods like <code>collect()</code> and <code>countByKey()</code> return Java collections types,
such as <code>java.util.List</code> and <code>java.util.Map</code>.</li>
<li>Key-value pairs, which are simply written as <code>(key, value)</code> in Scala, are represented
by the <code>scala.Tuple2</code> class, and need to be created using <code>new Tuple2<K, V>(key, value)</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="rdd-classes">RDD Classes</h2>
<p>Spark defines additional operations on RDDs of key-value pairs and doubles, such
as <code>reduceByKey</code>, <code>join</code>, and <code>stdev</code>.</p>
<p>In the Scala API, these methods are automatically added using Scala’s
<a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/node/130">implicit conversions</a> mechanism.</p>
<p>In the Java API, the extra methods are defined in the
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaPairRDD"><code>JavaPairRDD</code></a>
and <a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaDoubleRDD"><code>JavaDoubleRDD</code></a>
classes. RDD methods like <code>map</code> are overloaded by specialized <code>PairFunction</code>
and <code>DoubleFunction</code> classes, allowing them to return RDDs of the appropriate
types. Common methods like <code>filter</code> and <code>sample</code> are implemented by
each specialized RDD class, so filtering a <code>PairRDD</code> returns a new <code>PairRDD</code>,
etc (this acheives the “same-result-type” principle used by the <a href="http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/architecture-of-scala-collections.html">Scala collections
framework</a>).</p>
<h2 id="function-classes">Function Classes</h2>
<p>The following table lists the function classes used by the Java API. Each
class has a single abstract method, <code>call()</code>, that must be implemented.</p>
<table class="table">
<tr><th>Class</th><th>Function Type</th></tr>
<tr><td>Function<T, R></td><td>T => R </td></tr>
<tr><td>DoubleFunction<T></td><td>T => Double </td></tr>
<tr><td>PairFunction<T, K, V></td><td>T => Tuple2<K, V> </td></tr>
<tr><td>FlatMapFunction<T, R></td><td>T => Iterable<R> </td></tr>
<tr><td>DoubleFlatMapFunction<T></td><td>T => Iterable<Double> </td></tr>
<tr><td>PairFlatMapFunction<T, K, V></td><td>T => Iterable<Tuple2<K, V>> </td></tr>
<tr><td>Function2<T1, T2, R></td><td>T1, T2 => R (function of two arguments)</td></tr>
</table>
<h2 id="storage-levels">Storage Levels</h2>
<p>RDD <a href="scala-programming-guide.html#rdd-persistence">storage level</a> constants, such as <code>MEMORY_AND_DISK</code>, are
declared in the <a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.StorageLevels">org.apache.spark.api.java.StorageLevels</a> class. To
define your own storage level, you can use StorageLevels.create(…). </p>
<h1 id="other-features">Other Features</h1>
<p>The Java API supports other Spark features, including
<a href="scala-programming-guide.html#accumulators">accumulators</a>,
<a href="scala-programming-guide.html#broadcast-variables">broadcast variables</a>, and
<a href="scala-programming-guide.html#rdd-persistence">caching</a>.</p>
<h1 id="example">Example</h1>
<p>As an example, we will implement word count using the Java API.</p>

</code></pre></div>
<p>The word count program starts by creating a <code>JavaSparkContext</code>, which accepts
the same parameters as its Scala counterpart. <code>JavaSparkContext</code> supports the
same data loading methods as the regular <code>SparkContext</code>; here, <code>textFile</code>
loads lines from text files stored in HDFS.</p>
<p>To split the lines into words, we use <code>flatMap</code> to split each line on
whitespace. <code>flatMap</code> is passed a <code>FlatMapFunction</code> that accepts a string and
returns an <code>java.lang.Iterable</code> of strings.</p>
<p>Here, the <code>FlatMapFunction</code> was created inline; another option is to subclass
<code>FlatMapFunction</code> and pass an instance to <code>flatMap</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="java"><span class="kd">class</span> <span class="nc">Split</span> <span class="kd">extends</span> <span class="n">FlatMapFunction</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">String</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="o">{</span>

<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">Arrays</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">asList</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">s</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">split</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s">" "</span><span class="o">));</span>
<span class="o">}</span>
<span class="o">);</span>
<span class="n">JavaRDD</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">words</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">lines</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">flatMap</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="k">new</span> <span class="n">Split</span><span class="o">());</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Continuing with the word count example, we map each word to a <code>(word, 1)</code> pair:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="java"><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">scala.Tuple2</span><span class="o">;</span>
<span class="n">JavaPairRDD</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">ones</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">words</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">map</span><span class="o">(</span>
<span class="k">new</span> <span class="n">PairFunction</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">>()</span> <span class="o">{</span>
<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="n">Tuple2</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">call</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">String</span> <span class="n">s</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nf">Tuple2</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">s</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="o">);</span>
<span class="o">}</span>
<span class="o">}</span>
<span class="o">);</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Note that <code>map</code> was passed a <code>PairFunction<String, String, Integer></code> and
returned a <code>JavaPairRDD<String, Integer></code>.</p>
<p>To finish the word count program, we will use <code>reduceByKey</code> to count the
occurrences of each word:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="java"><span class="n">JavaPairRDD</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">counts</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">ones</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">reduceByKey</span><span class="o">(</span>
<span class="k">new</span> <span class="n">Function2</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">>()</span> <span class="o">{</span>
<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="n">Integer</span> <span class="nf">call</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">Integer</span> <span class="n">i1</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span> <span class="n">i2</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="o">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">i1</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">i2</span><span class="o">;</span>
<span class="o">}</span>
<span class="o">}</span>
<span class="o">);</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Here, <code>reduceByKey</code> is passed a <code>Function2</code>, which implements a function with
two arguments. The resulting <code>JavaPairRDD</code> contains <code>(word, count)</code> pairs.</p>
<p>In this example, we explicitly showed each intermediate RDD. It is also
possible to chain the RDD transformations, so the word count example could also
be written as:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="java"><span class="n">JavaPairRDD</span><span class="o"><</span><span class="n">String</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">Integer</span><span class="o">></span> <span class="n">counts</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">lines</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">flatMap</span><span class="o">(</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="o">).</span><span class="na">map</span><span class="o">(</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="o">).</span><span class="na">reduceByKey</span><span class="o">(</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="o">);</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>There is no performance difference between these approaches; the choice is
just a matter of style.</p>
<h1 id="javadoc">Javadoc</h1>
<p>We currently provide documentation for the Java API as Scaladoc, in the
<a href="api/core/index.html#org.apache.spark.api.java.package"><code>org.apache.spark.api.java</code> package</a>, because
some of the classes are implemented in Scala. The main downside is that the types and function
definitions show Scala syntax (for example, <code>def reduce(func: Function2[T, T]): T</code> instead of
<code>T reduce(Function2<T, T> func)</code>).
We hope to generate documentation with Java-style syntax in the future.</p>

<p>Spark includes several sample programs using the Java API in
<a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/tree/master/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/spark/examples"><code>examples/src/main/java</code></a>. You can run them by passing the class name to the
<code>run-example</code> script included in Spark; for example:</p>
<pre><code>./run-example org.apache.spark.examples.JavaWordCount
</code></pre>
<p>Each example program prints usage help when run
without any arguments.</p>
