    [SPARK-1566] consolidate programming guide, and general doc updates · c8bf4131
    Matei Zaharia authored
    This is a fairly large PR to clean up and update the docs for 1.0. The major changes are:
    
    * A unified programming guide for all languages replaces language-specific ones and shows language-specific info in tabs
    * New programming guide sections on key-value pairs, unit testing, input formats beyond text, migrating from 0.9, and passing functions to Spark
    * Spark-submit guide moved to a separate page and expanded slightly
    * Various cleanups of the menu system, security docs, and others
    * Updated look of title bar to differentiate the docs from previous Spark versions
    
    You can find the updated docs at http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/ and in particular http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/programming-guide.html.

title: Building Spark with Maven
  • This will become a table of contents (this text will be scraped). {:toc}

Building Spark using Maven requires Maven 3.0.4 or newer and Java 6+.

Setting up Maven's Memory Usage

You'll need to configure Maven to use more memory than usual by setting MAVEN_OPTS. We recommend the following settings:

{% highlight bash %} export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m" {% endhighlight %}

If you don't run this, you may see errors like the following:

[INFO] Compiling 203 Scala sources and 9 Java sources to /Users/me/Development/spark/core/target/scala-{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}/classes...
[ERROR] PermGen space -> [Help 1]

[INFO] Compiling 203 Scala sources and 9 Java sources to /Users/me/Development/spark/core/target/scala-{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}/classes...
[ERROR] Java heap space -> [Help 1]

You can fix this by setting the MAVEN_OPTS variable as discussed before.

Note: For Java 8 and above this step is not required.

Specifying the Hadoop Version

Because HDFS is not protocol-compatible across versions, if you want to read from HDFS, you'll need to build Spark against the specific HDFS version in your environment. You can do this through the "hadoop.version" property. If unset, Spark will build against Hadoop 1.0.4 by default. Note that certain build profiles are required for particular Hadoop versions:

Hadoop version Profile required
0.23.x hadoop-0.23
1.x to 2.1.x (none)
2.2.x hadoop-2.2
2.3.x hadoop-2.3
2.4.x hadoop-2.4

For Apache Hadoop versions 1.x, Cloudera CDH "mr1" distributions, and other Hadoop versions without YARN, use:

{% highlight bash %}

Apache Hadoop 1.2.1

mvn -Dhadoop.version=1.2.1 -DskipTests clean package

Cloudera CDH 4.2.0 with MapReduce v1

mvn -Dhadoop.version=2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.2.0 -DskipTests clean package

Apache Hadoop 0.23.x
