[SPARK-2759][CORE] Generic Binary File Support in Spark

Kevin Mader authored 10 years ago

The additions add the abstract BinaryFileInputFormat and BinaryRecordReader classes for reading in data as a byte stream and converting it to another format using the ```def parseByteArray(inArray: Array[Byte]): T``` function.
As a trivial example ```ByteInputFormat``` and ```ByteRecordReader``` are included which just return the Array[Byte] from a given file.
Finally a RDD for ```BinaryFileInputFormat``` (to allow for easier partitioning changes as was done for WholeFileInput) was added and the appropriate byteFiles to the ```SparkContext``` so the functions can be easily used by others.
A common use case might be to read in a folder
```
sc.byteFiles("s3://mydrive/tif/*.tif").map(rawData => ReadTiffFromByteArray(rawData))
```

Closes #1658 from kmader/master and squashes the following commits:

3c49a30 [Kevin Mader] fixing wholetextfileinput to it has the same setMinPartitions function as in BinaryData files
359a096 [Kevin Mader] making the final corrections suggested by @mateiz and renaming a few functions to make their usage clearer
6379be4 [Kevin Mader] reorganizing code
7b9d181 [Kevin Mader] removing developer API, cleaning up imports
8ac288b [Kevin Mader] fixed a single slightly over 100 character line
92bda0d [Kevin Mader] added new tests, renamed files, fixed several of the javaapi functions, formatted code more nicely
a32fef7 [Kevin Mader] removed unneeded classes added DeveloperApi note to portabledatastreams since the implementation might change
49174d9 [Kevin Mader] removed unneeded classes added DeveloperApi note to portabledatastreams since the implementation might change
c27a8f1 [Kevin Mader] jenkins crashed before running anything last time, so making minor change
b348ce1 [Kevin Mader] fixed order in check (prefix only appears on jenkins not when I run unit tests locally)
0588737 [Kevin Mader] filename check in "binary file input as byte array" test now ignores prefixes and suffixes which might get added by Hadoop
4163e38 [Kevin Mader] fixing line length and output from FSDataInputStream to DataInputStream to minimize sensitivity to Hadoop API changes
19812a8 [Kevin Mader] Fixed the serialization issue with PortableDataStream since neither CombineFileSplit nor TaskAttemptContext implement the Serializable interface, by using ByteArrays for storing both and then recreating the objects from these bytearrays as needed.
238c83c [Kevin Mader] fixed several scala-style issues, changed structure of binaryFiles, removed excessive classes added new tests. The caching tests still have a serialization issue, but that should be easily fixed as well.
932a206 [Kevin Mader] Update RawFileInput.scala
a01c9cf [Kevin Mader] Update RawFileInput.scala
441f79a [Kevin Mader] fixed a few small comments and dependency
12e7be1 [Kevin Mader] removing imglib from maven (definitely not ready yet)
5deb79e [Kevin Mader] added new portabledatastream to code so that it can be serialized correctly
f032bc0 [Kevin Mader] fixed bug in path name, renamed tests
bc5c0b9 [Kevin Mader] made minor stylistic adjustments from mateiz
df8e528 [Kevin Mader] fixed line lengths and changed java test
9a313d5 [Kevin Mader] making classes that needn't be public private, adding automatic file closure, adding new tests
edf5829 [Kevin Mader] fixing line lengths, adding new lines
f4841dc [Kevin Mader] un-optimizing imports, silly intellij
eacfaa6 [Kevin Mader] Added FixedLengthBinaryInputFormat and RecordReader from freeman-lab and added them to both the JavaSparkContext and the SparkContext as fixedLengthBinaryFile
1622935 [Kevin Mader] changing the line lengths to make jenkins happy
1cfa38a [Kevin Mader] added apache headers, added datainputstream directly as an output option for more complicated readers (HDF5 perhaps), and renamed several of the functions and files to be more consistent. Also added parallel functions to the java api
84035f1 [Kevin Mader] adding binary and byte file support spark
81c5f12 [Kevin Mader] Merge pull request #1 from apache/master

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, and Python, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and structured data processing, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.) More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark with Maven".

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1000:

scala> sc.parallelize(1 to 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1000:

>>> sc.parallelize(range(1000)).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn-cluster" or "yarn-client" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run all automated tests.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions. See also "Third Party Hadoop Distributions" for guidance on building a Spark application that works with a particular distribution.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
