The changes were to support a custom banner in spark-shell for use by
graphx-shell, but once GraphX is merged into Spark, a separate shell
will be unnecessary.
API for automatic driver recovery for streaming programs and other bug fixes
1. Added Scala and Java API for automatically loading checkpoint if it exists in the provided checkpoint directory.
Scala API: `StreamingContext.getOrCreate(<checkpoint dir>, <function to create new StreamingContext>)` returns a StreamingContext
Java API: `JavaStreamingContext.getOrCreate(<checkpoint dir>, <factory obj of type JavaStreamingContextFactory>)`, return a JavaStreamingContext
See the RecoverableNetworkWordCount below as an example of how to use it.
2. Refactored streaming.Checkpoint*** code to fix bugs and make the DStream metadata checkpoint writing and reading more robust. Specifically, it fixes and improves the logic behind backing up and writing metadata checkpoint files. Also, it ensure that spark.driver.* and spark.hostPort is cleared from SparkConf before being written to checkpoint.
3. Fixed bug in cleaning up of checkpointed RDDs created by DStream. Specifically, this fix ensures that checkpointed RDD's files are not prematurely cleaned up, thus ensuring reliable recovery.
4. TimeStampedHashMap is upgraded to optionally update the timestamp on map.get(key). This allows clearing of data based on access time (i.e., clear records were last accessed before a threshold timestamp).
5. Added caching for file modification time in FileInputDStream using the updated TimeStampedHashMap. Without the caching, enumerating the mod times to find new files can take seconds if there are 1000s of files. This cache is automatically cleared.
This PR is not entirely final as I may make some minor additions - a Java examples, and adding StreamingContext.getOrCreate to unit test.
Edit: Java example to be added later, unit test added.
External Sorting for Aggregator and CoGroupedRDDs (Revisited)
(This pull request is re-opened from https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/303, which was closed because Jenkins / github was misbehaving)
The target issue for this patch is the out-of-memory exceptions triggered by aggregate operations such as reduce, groupBy, join, and cogroup. The existing AppendOnlyMap used by these operations resides purely in memory, and grows with the size of the input data until the amount of allocated memory is exceeded. Under large workloads, this problem is aggravated by the fact that OOM frequently occurs only after a very long (> 1 hour) map phase, in which case the entire job must be restarted.
The solution is to spill the contents of this map to disk once a certain memory threshold is exceeded. This functionality is provided by ExternalAppendOnlyMap, which additionally sorts this buffer before writing it out to disk, and later merges these buffers back in sorted order.
Under normal circumstances in which OOM is not triggered, ExternalAppendOnlyMap is simply a wrapper around AppendOnlyMap and incurs little overhead. Only when the memory usage is expected to exceed the given threshold does ExternalAppendOnlyMap spill to disk.
Aside from trivial formatting changes, use nulls instead of Options for
DiskMapIterator, and add documentation for spark.shuffle.externalSorting
and spark.shuffle.memoryFraction.
Also, set spark.shuffle.memoryFraction to 0.3, and spark.storage.memoryFraction = 0.6.
Yarn client addjar and misc fixes
Fix the addJar functionality in yarn-client mode, add support for the other options supported in yarn-standalone mode, set the application type on yarn in hadoop 2.X, add documentation, change heartbeat interval to be same code as the yarn-standalone so it doesn't take so long to get containers and exit.
Make DEBUG-level logs consummable.
Removes two things that caused issues with the debug logs:
(a) Internal polling in the DAGScheduler was polluting the logs.
(b) The Scala REPL logs were really noisy.
