Once connected, Spark acquires *executors* on nodes in the cluster, which are +worker processes that run computations and store data for your application. +Next, it sends your application code (defined by JAR or Python files passed to SparkContext) to +the executors. Finally, SparkContext sends *tasks* for the executors to run. + +<p style="text-align: center;"> + <img src="img/cluster-overview.png" title="Spark cluster components" alt="Spark cluster components" /> +</p> + +There are several useful things to note about this architecture: + +1. Each application gets its own executor processes, which stay up for the duration of the whole + application and run tasks in multiple threads. This has the benefit of isolating applications + from each other, on both the scheduling side (each driver schedules its own tasks) and executor + side (tasks from different applications run in different JVMs). However, it also means that + data cannot be shared across different Spark applications (instances of SparkContext) without + writing it to an external storage system. +2. Spark is agnostic to the underlying cluster manager. As long as it can acquire executor + processes, and these communicate with each other, it is relatively easy to run it even on a + cluster manager that also supports other applications (e.g. Mesos/YARN). +3. Because the driver schedules tasks on the cluster, it should be run close to the worker + nodes, preferably on the same local area network. If you'd like to send requests to the + cluster remotely, it's better to open an RPC to the driver and have it submit operations + from nearby than to run a driver far away from the worker nodes. + +# Cluster Manager Types + +The system currently supports three cluster managers: + +* [Standalone](spark-standalone.html) -- a simple cluster manager included with Spark that makes it + easy to set up a cluster. +* [Apache Mesos](running-on-mesos.html) -- a general cluster manager that can also run Hadoop MapReduce + and service applications. +* [Hadoop YARN](running-on-yarn.html) -- the resource manager in Hadoop 2.0. + +In addition, Spark's [EC2 launch scripts](ec2-scripts.html) make it easy to launch a standalone +cluster on Amazon EC2. + +# Shipping Code to the Cluster + +The recommended way to ship your code to the cluster is to pass it through SparkContext's constructor, +which takes a list of JAR files (Java/Scala) or .egg and .zip libraries (Python) to disseminate to +worker nodes. You can also dynamically add new files to be sent to executors with `SparkContext.addJar` +and `addFile`. + +# Monitoring + +Each driver program has a web UI, typically on port 4040, that displays information about running +tasks, executors, and storage usage. Simply go to `http://<driver-node>:4040` in a web browser to +access this UI.

First, recall that, as described +in the [cluster mode overview](cluster-overview.html), each Spark application (instance of SparkContext) +runs an independent set of executor processes. The cluster managers that Spark runs on provide +facilities for [scheduling across applications](#scheduling-across-applications). Second, +_within_ each Spark application, multiple "jobs" (Spark actions) may be running concurrently +if they were submitted by different threads. This is common if your application is serving requests +over the network; for example, the [Shark](http://shark.cs.berkeley.edu) server works this way. Spark +includes a [fair scheduler](#scheduling-within-an-application) to schedule resources within each SparkContext. + +# Scheduling Across Applications + +When running on a cluster, each Spark application gets an independent set of executor JVMs that only +run tasks and store data for that application. If multiple users need to share your cluster, there are +different options to manage allocation, depending on the cluster manager. + +The simplest option, available on all cluster managers, is _static partitioning_ of resources. With +this approach, each application is given a maximum amount of resources it can use, and holds onto them +for its whole duration. This is the approach used in Spark's [standalone](spark-standalone.html) +and [YARN](running-on-yarn.html) modes, as well as the +[coarse-grained Mesos mode](running-on-mesos.html#mesos-run-modes). +Resource allocation can be configured as follows, based on the cluster type: + +* **Standalone mode:** By default, applications submitted to the standalone mode cluster will run in + FIFO (first-in-first-out) order, and each application will try to use all available nodes. You can limit + the number of nodes an application uses by setting the `spark.cores.max` system property in it. This + will allow multiple users/applications to run concurrently. For example, you might launch a long-running + server that uses 10 cores, and allow users to launch shells that use 20 cores each. + Finally, in addition to controlling cores, each application's `spark.executor.memory` setting controls + its memory use. +* **Mesos:** To use static partitioning on Mesos, set the `spark.mesos.coarse` system property to `true`, + and optionally set `spark.cores.max` to limit each application's resource share as in the standalone mode. + You should also set `spark.executor.memory` to control the executor memory. +* **YARN:** The `--num-workers` option to the Spark YARN client controls how many workers it will allocate + on the cluster, while `--worker-memory` and `--worker-cores` control the resources per worker. + +A second option available on Mesos is _dynamic sharing_ of CPU cores. In this mode, each Spark application +still has a fixed and independent memory allocation (set by `spark.executor.memory`), but when the +application is not running tasks on a machine, other applications may run tasks on those cores. This mode +is useful when you expect large numbers of not overly active applications, such as shell sessions from +separate users. However, it comes with a risk of less predictable latency, because it may take a while for +an application to gain back cores on one node when it has work to do. To use this mode, simply use a +`mesos://` URL without setting `spark.mesos.coarse` to true. + +Note that none of the modes currently provide memory sharing across applications. If you would like to share +data this way, we recommend running a single server application that can serve multiple requests by querying +the same RDDs. For example, the [Shark](http://shark.cs.berkeley.edu) JDBC server works this way for SQL +queries. In future releases, in-memory storage systems such as [Tachyon](http://tachyon-project.org) will +provide another approach to share RDDs. + + +# Scheduling Within an Application + +Inside a given Spark application (SparkContext instance), multiple parallel jobs can run simultaneously if +they were submitted from separate threads. By "job", in this section, we mean a Spark action (e.g. `save`, +`collect`) and any tasks that need to run to evaluate that action. Spark's scheduler is fully thread-safe +and supports this use case to enable applications that serve multiple requests (e.g. queries for +multiple users). + +By default, Spark's scheduler runs jobs in FIFO fashion. Each job is divided into "stages" (e.g. map and +reduce phases), and the first job gets priority on all available resources while its stages have tasks to +launch, then the second job gets priority, etc. If the jobs at the head of the queue don't need to use +the whole cluster, later jobs can start to run right away, but if the jobs at the head of the queue are +large, then later jobs may be delayed significantly. + +Starting in Spark 0.8, it is also possible to configure fair sharing between jobs. Under fair sharing, +Spark assigns tasks between jobs in a "round robin" fashion, so that all jobs get a roughly equal share +of cluster resources. This means that short jobs submitted while a long job is running can start receiving +resources right away and still get good response times, without waiting for the long job to finish. This +mode is best for multi-user settings. + +To enable the fair scheduler, simply set the `spark.scheduler.mode` to `FAIR` before creating +a SparkContext: + +{% highlight scala %} +System.setProperty("spark.scheduler.mode", "FAIR") +{% endhighlight %} + +## Fair Scheduler Pools + +The fair scheduler also supports grouping jobs into _pools_, and setting different scheduling options +(e.g. weight) for each pool. This can be useful to create a "high-priority" pool for more important jobs, +for example, or to group the jobs of each user together and give _users_ equal shares regardless of how +many concurrent jobs they have instead of giving _jobs_ equal shares. This approach is modeled after the +[Hadoop Fair Scheduler](http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/fair_scheduler.html). + +Without any intervention, newly submitted jobs go into a _default pool_, but jobs' pools can be set by +adding the `spark.scheduler.pool` "local property" to the SparkContext in the thread that's submitting them. +This is done as follows: + +{% highlight scala %} +// Assuming context is your SparkContext variable +context.setLocalProperty("spark.scheduler.pool", "pool1") +{% endhighlight %} + +After setting this local property, _all_ jobs submitted within this thread (by calls in this thread +to `RDD.save`, `count`, `collect`, etc) will use this pool name. The setting is per-thread to make +it easy to have a thread run multiple jobs on behalf of the same user. If you'd like to clear the +pool that a thread is associated with, simply call: + +{% highlight scala %} +context.setLocalProperty("spark.scheduler.pool", null) +{% endhighlight %} + +## Default Behavior of Pools + +By default, each pool gets an equal share of the cluster (also equal in share to each job in the default +pool), but inside each pool, jobs run in FIFO order. For example, if you create one pool per user, this +means that each user will get an equal share of the cluster, and that each user's queries will run in +order instead of later queries taking resources from that user's earlier ones. + +## Configuring Pool Properties + +Specific pools' properties can also be modified through a configuration file. Each pool supports three +properties: + +* `schedulingMode`: This can be FIFO or FAIR, to control whether jobs within the pool queue up behind + each other (the default) or share the pool's resources fairly. +* `weight`: This controls the pool's share of the cluster relative to other pools. By default, all pools + have a weight of 1. If you give a specific pool a weight of 2, for example, it will get 2x more + resources as other active pools. Setting a high weight such as 1000 also makes it possible to implement + _priority_ between pools---in essence, the weight-1000 pool will always get to launch tasks first + whenever it has jobs active. +* `minShare`: Apart from an overall weight, each pool can be given a _minimum shares_ (as a number of + CPU cores) that the administrator would like it to have. The fair scheduler always attempts to meet + all active pools' minimum shares before redistributing extra resources according to the weights. + The `minShare` property can therefore be another way to ensure that a pool can always get up to a + certain number of resources (e.g. 10 cores) quickly without giving it a high priority for the rest + of the cluster. By default, each pool's `minShare` is 0. + +The pool properties can be set by creating an XML file, similar to `conf/fairscheduler.xml.template`, +and setting the `spark.scheduler.allocation.file` property: + +{% highlight scala %} +System.setProperty("spark.scheduler.allocation.file", "/path/to/file") +{% endhighlight %} + +The format of the XML file is simply a `<pool>` element for each pool, with different elements +within it for the various settings. For example: + +{% highlight xml %} +<?xml version="1.0"?> +<allocations> + <pool name="production"> + <schedulingMode>FAIR</schedulingMode> + <weight>1</weight> + <minShare>2</minShare> + </pool> + <pool name="test"> + <schedulingMode>FIFO</schedulingMode> + <weight>2</weight> + <minShare>3</minShare> + </pool> +</allocations> +{% endhighlight %} + +A full example is also available in `conf/fairscheduler.xml.template`. Note that any pools not +configured in the XML file will simply get default values for all settings (scheduling mode FIFO, +weight 1, and minShare 0). diff --git a/docs/mllib-guide.md b/docs/mllib-guide.md index c897f8b36c..f991d86c8d 100644 --- a/docs/mllib-guide.md +++ b/docs/mllib-guide.md @@ -3,4 +3,194 @@ layout: global title: Machine Learning Library (MLlib) --- -Coming soon. +MLlib is a Spark implementation of some common machine learning (ML) +functionality, as well associated tests and data generators.

Once you've set up this file, you can launch or stop your cluster with the following shell scripts, based on Hadoop's deploy scripts, and available in `SPARK_HOME/bin`: @@ -90,15 +98,15 @@ You can optionally configure the cluster further by setting environment variable </tr> <tr> <td><code>SPARK_WORKER_DIR</code></td> - <td>Directory to run jobs in, which will include both logs and scratch space (default: SPARK_HOME/work).</td> + <td>Directory to run applications in, which will include both logs and scratch space (default: SPARK_HOME/work).</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>SPARK_WORKER_CORES</code></td> - <td>Total number of cores to allow Spark jobs to use on the machine (default: all available cores).</td> + <td>Total number of cores to allow Spark applications to use on the machine (default: all available cores).</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>SPARK_WORKER_MEMORY</code></td> - <td>Total amount of memory to allow Spark jobs to use on the machine, e.g. <code>1000m</code>, <code>2g</code> (default: total memory minus 1 GB); note that each job's <i>individual</i> memory is configured using its <code>spark.executor.memory</code> property.</td> + <td>Total amount of memory to allow Spark applications to use on the machine, e.g. <code>1000m</code>, <code>2g</code> (default: total memory minus 1 GB); note that each application's <i>individual</i> memory is configured using its <code>spark.executor.memory</code> property.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><code>SPARK_WORKER_WEBUI_PORT</code></td> @@ -125,22 +133,28 @@ You can optionally configure the cluster further by setting environment variable **Note:** The launch scripts do not currently support Windows.
