csv data processing in spark standalone mode - apache-spark

I have two node and Let's call A(192.168.2.100) and B(192.168.2.200).
A is for a master and a worker.
in A node
./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.worker
./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.master
B is for a woker
./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.worker
my app is need to load cav file to process
in node A,
./spark-submit --class "myApp" --master spark://192.168.2.100:7077 /spark/app.jar
But It comes error with "need csv file in B".
Is there any way to to share this file to node B?
Do Really I need yarn of mesos to do this?

as the diagram shows bellow: all the data files you want to process should be accessible from all of your workers [ and be sure that your driver can be reachable from your worker ]
so here, you need to put your data files into a place from where workers can read data, in most situations, we put data files into HDFS.

As stated before that file has to be available on every node. So you either have multiple copies, one per node or you use an external hadoop data source (HDFS, Cassandra, Amazon s3). There is another easier solution. You can use NFS and mount a remote drive/partition/location to every node. This way you don't need to have multiple copies and you don't have to learn about an external storage. You can even use sshfs if you want to have a secure mount point over ssh.

HDFS vs HDFS with YARN, and if I use spark can I put new resource management?

What is HDFS alone without YARN Use Case, and with it? Should I use MapReduce or I can only use the spark? Also if I use spark can I put new resource management for the spark instead of the yarn in the same system? And is this the optimal solution for it, how to decide each one here? based on use case
Sorry, I don't have a specific use case!
Hadoop Distributed File System
HDFS is a Java-based file system that provides scalable and reliable data storage, and it was designed to span large clusters of commodity servers. HDFS has demonstrated production scalability of up to 200 PB of storage and a single cluster of 4500 servers, supporting close to a billion files and blocks. When that quantity and quality of enterprise data is available in HDFS, and YARN enables multiple data access applications to process it, Hadoop users can confidently answer questions that eluded previous data platforms.
HDFS is a scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed storage system that works closely with a wide variety of concurrent data access applications, coordinated by YARN. HDFS will “just work” under a variety of physical and systemic circumstances. By distributing storage and computation across many servers, the combined storage resource can grow linearly with demand while remaining economical at every amount of storage.
Take Away
HDFS is based on a master Slave Architecture with Name Node (NN) being the master and Data Nodes (DN) being the slaves.
Name Node stores only the meta Information about the files, actual data is stored in Data Node.
Both Name Node and Data Node are processes and not any super fancy Hardware.
The Data Node uses the underlying OS file System to save the data.
You need to use HDFS client to interact with HDFS. The hdfs clients always talks to Name Node for meta Info and subsequently talks to Data Nodes to read/write data. No Data IO happens through Name Node.
HDFS clients never send data to Name Node hence Name Node never becomes a bottleneck for any Data IO in the cluster
HDFS client has "short-circuit" feature enabled hence if the client is running on a Node hosting Data Node it can read the file from the Data Node making the complete read/write Local.
To even make it simple imagine HDFSclient is a web client and HDFS as whole is a web service which has predefined task to GET, PUT, COPYFROMLOCAL etc.
How is a 400 MB file Saved on HDFS with hdfs block size of 100 MB.
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator )
"does it ring a bell 'Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle' YAHOO"
YARN is essentially a system for managing distributed applications. It consists of a central Resource manager (RM), which arbitrates all available cluster resources, and a per-node Node Manager (NM), which takes direction from the Resource manager. The Node manager is responsible for managing available resources on a single node.
Take Away
YARN is based on a master Slave Architecture with Resource Manager being the master and Node Manager being the slaves.
Resource Manager keeps the meta info about which jobs are running on which Node Manage and how much memory and CPU is consumed and hence has a holistic view of total CPU and RAM consumption of the whole cluster.
The jobs run on the Node Manager and jobs never get execute on Resource Manager. Hence RM never becomes a bottleneck for any job execution. Both RM and NM are processes and not some fancy hardware
Container is logical abstraction for CPU and RAM.
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is scheduling container (CPU and RAM ) over the whole cluster. Hence for end user if he needs CPU and RAM in the cluster it needs to interact with YARN
While Requesting for CPU and RAM you can specify the Host one which you need it.
To interact with YARN you need to use yarn-client which
How HDFS and YARN work in TANDEM
Name Node and Resource Manager process are hosted on two different host. As they hold key meta information.
The Data Node and Node manager processes are co-located on same host.
A file is saved onto HDFS (Data Nodes) and to access a file in Distributed way one can write a YARN Application (MR2, SPARK, Distributed Shell, Slider Application) using YARN client and to read data use HDFSclient.
The Distributed application can fetch file location ( meta info From Name Node ) ask Resource Manager (YARN) to provide containers on the hosts which hold the file blocks.
Do remember the short-circuit optimization provided by HDFS, hence if the Distributed job gets a container on a host which host the file block and tries to read it, the read will be local and not over the network.
The same file If read sequentially would have taken 4 sec (100 MB/sec speed) can be read in 1 second as Distributed process is running parallely on different YARN container( Node Manager) and reading 100 MB/sec *4 in 1 second.
HDFS can be used as a fault tolerant filesystem without YARN, yes. But so can Ceph, MinIO, GlusterFS, etc, each of which can work with Spark.
That addresses storage, but for processing, you can only configure one scheduler per Spark job, but the same code should be able to run in any environment, whether that be YARN, Spark Standalone, Mesos, or Kubernetes, but you ideally would not install these together
So therefore, neither HDFS nor YARN are required for Spark

Apache Spark : how to read from hdfs file

I have locally installed spark 2.3.0 and using pyspark. I'm able to work with processing local files without any problem.
But if i have to read from hdfs, i'm not able to.
I'm confused with how spark access hadoop files. while installing spark, I'm asked to copy the winutil. I don't understand what is the role of winutil.
Should we bring up the hadoop services first , to work with spark ?
Getting java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError errors if i use the hadoop installed externally and tried to use it in the spark. any pointer to right docuementation will be great help.
Thanks,
Kiran
If you're using spark-submit to run the application in cluster mode, then it can take a flag --files which is used to pass down files from driver node to workers. I believe the reason you were able to run in local mode was because your driver and worker are in same machine however in cluster mode the driver and workers possibly are in separate machines. Spark needs to know in that case which files to send over to worker nodes. The follow flags are available as described in the book Learning Spark by Holden Karau; Andy Konwinski; Patrick Wendell; Matei Zaharia
--master
Indicates the cluster manager to connect to. The options for this flag are described in Table 7-1.
--deploy-mode
Whether to launch the driver program locally (“client”) or on one of the worker machines inside the cluster (“cluster”). In client mode spark-submit will run your driver on the same machine where spark-submit >s itself being invoked. In cluster mode, the driver will be shipped to execute on a worker node in the cluster. The default is client mode.
--class
The “main” class of your application if you’re running a Java or Scala program.
--name
A human-readable name for your application. This will be displayed in Spark’s web UI.
--jars
A list of JAR files to upload and place on the classpath of your application. If your application depends on a small number of third-party JARs, you can add them here.
--files
A list of files to be placed in the working directory of your application. This can be used for data files that you want to distribute to each node.
--py-files
A list of files to be added to the PYTHONPATH of your application. This can contain .py, .egg, or .zip files.
--executor-memory
The amount of memory to use for executors, in bytes. Suffixes can be used to specify larger quantities such as “512m” (512 megabytes) or “15g” (15 gigabytes).
--driver-memory
The amount of memory to use for the driver process, in bytes. Suffixes can be used to specify larger quantities such as “512m” (512 megabytes) or “15g” (15 gigabytes).
Update
I assumed that Kiran has Hadoop setup (as he mentioned externally) and was not able to make the program read from the HDFS programatically. If that was not the case, please ignore the answer.

How to load some files into Spark nodes without duplication?

I have some text files on master server to be processed by a Spark cluster for some statistics purpose.
For example, I have 1.txt, 2.txt,3.txt on master server in a specified directory like /data/.I want use a Spark cluster to process all of them one times. If I use sc.textFile("/data/*.txt") to load all files, other node in cluster cannot find these files on local file system. However if I use sc.addFile and SparkFiles.get to achieve them on each node, the 3 text files will be downloaded to each node and all of them will be processed multi times.
How to solve it without HDFS? Thanks.
According to official document, just copy all files to all nodes.
http://spark.apache.org/docs/1.2.1/programming-guide.html#external-datasets
If using a path on the local filesystem, the file must also be accessible at the same path on worker nodes. Either copy the file to all workers or use a network-mounted shared file system.

Spark: hdfs cluster mode

I'm just getting started using Apache Spark. I'm using cluster mode (master, slave1, slave2) and I want to process a big file which is kept in Hadoop (hdfs). I am using the textFile method from SparkContext; while the file is being processing I monitorize the nodes and I can see that just the slave2 is working. After processing, slave2 has tasks but slave1 has no task.
If instead of using a hdfs I use a local file then both slaves work simultaneously.
I don't get why this behaviour. Please, can anybody give me a clue?
The main reason of that behavior is the concept of data locality. When Spark's Application Master asks for the creation of new executors, they are tried to be allocated in the same node where data resides.
I.e. in your case, HDFS is likely to have written all the blocks of the file on the same node. Thus Spark will instantiate the executors on that node. Instead, if you use a local file, it will be present in all nodes, so data locality won't be an issue anymore.

Using Spark Shell (CLI) in standalone mode on distributed files

I am using Spark 1.3.1 in standalone mode (No YARN/HDFS involved - Only Spark) on a cluster with 3 machines. I have a dedicated node for master (no workers running on it) and 2 separate worker nodes.
The cluster starts healthy, and I am just trying to test my installation by running some simple examples via spark-shell (CLI - which I started on the master machine) : I simply put a file on the localfs on the master node (workers do NOT have a copy of this file) and I simply run:
$SPARKHOME/bin/spark-shell
...
scala> val f = sc.textFile("file:///PATH/TO/LOCAL/FILE/ON/MASTER/FS/file.txt")
scala> f.count()
and it returns the words count results correctly.
My Questions are:
1) This contradicts with what spark documentation (on using External Datasets) say as:
"If using a path on the local filesystem, the file must also be accessible at the same path on worker nodes. Either copy the file to all workers or use a network-mounted shared file system."
I am not using NFS and I did not copy the file to workers, so how does it work ? (Is it because spark-shell does NOT really launch jobs on the cluster, and does the computation locally (It is weird as I do NOT have a worker running on the node, I started shell on)
2) If I want to run SQL scripts (in standalone mode) against some large data files (which do not fit into one machine) through Spark's thrift server (like the way beeline or hiveserver2 is used in Hive) , do I need to put the files on NFS so each worker can see the whole file, or is it possible that I create chunks out of the files, and put each smaller chunk (which would fit on a single machine) on each worker, and then use multiple paths (comma separated) to pass them all to the submitted queries ?
The problem is that you are running the spark-shell locally. The default for running a spark-shell is as --master local[*], which will run your code locally on as many cores as you have. If you want to run against your workers, then you will need to run with the --master parameter specifying the master's entry point. If you want to see the possible options you can use with spark-shell, just type spark-shell --help
As to whether you need to put the file on each server, the short answer is yes. Something like HDFS will split it up across the nodes and the manager will handle the fetching as appropriate. I am not as familiar with NFS and if it has this capability, though
