Custom Serializers for PySpark
This pull request adds support for custom serializers to PySpark. For now, all Python-transformed (or parallelize()d RDDs) are serialized with the same serializer that's specified when creating SparkContext.
For now, PySpark includes `PickleSerDe` and `MarshalSerDe` classes for using Python's `pickle` and `marshal` serializers. It's pretty easy to add support for other serializers, although I still need to add instructions on this.
A few notable changes:
- The Scala `PythonRDD` class no longer manipulates Pickled objects; data from `textFile` is written to Python as MUTF-8 strings. The Python code performs the appropriate bookkeeping to track which deserializer should be used when reading an underlying JavaRDD. This mechanism could also be used to support other data exchange formats, such as MsgPack.
- Several magic numbers were refactored into constants.
- Batching is implemented by wrapping / decorating an unbatched SerDe.
Log a warning if a task's serialized size is very big
As per Reynold's instructions, we now create a warning level log entry if a task's serialized size is too big. "Too big" is currently defined as 100kb. This warning message is generated at most once for each stage.
OpenHashSet fixes
Incorporated ideas from pull request #200.
- Use Murmur Hash 3 finalization step to scramble the bits of HashCode
instead of the simpler version in java.util.HashMap; the latter one
had trouble with ranges of consecutive integers. Murmur Hash 3 is used
by fastutil.
- Don't check keys for equality when re-inserting due to growing the
table; the keys will already be unique.
- Remember the grow threshold instead of recomputing it on each insert
Also added unit tests for size estimation for specialized hash sets and maps.
Use the proper partition index in mapPartitionsWIthIndex
mapPartitionsWithIndex uses TaskContext.partitionId as the partition index. TaskContext.partitionId used to be identical to the partition index in a RDD. However, pull request #186 introduced a scenario (with partition pruning) that the two can be different. This pull request uses the right partition index in all mapPartitionsWithIndex related calls.
Also removed the extra MapPartitionsWIthContextRDD and put all the mapPartitions related functionality in MapPartitionsRDD.
For SPARK-527, Support spark-shell when running on YARN
sync to trunk and resubmit here
In current YARN mode approaching, the application is run in the Application Master as a user program thus the whole spark context is on remote.
This approaching won't support application that involve local interaction and need to be run on where it is launched.
So In this pull request I have a YarnClientClusterScheduler and backend added.
With this scheduler, the user application is launched locally,While the executor will be launched by YARN on remote nodes with a thin AM which only launch the executor and monitor the Driver Actor status, so that when client app is done, it can finish the YARN Application as well.
This enables spark-shell to run upon YARN.
This also enable other Spark applications to have the spark context to run locally with a master-url "yarn-client". Thus e.g. SparkPi could have the result output locally on console instead of output in the log of the remote machine where AM is running on.
Docs also updated to show how to use this yarn-client mode.

Add graphite sink for metrics
This adds a metrics sink for graphite. The sink must
be configured with the host and port of a graphite node
and optionally may be configured with a prefix that will
be prepended to all metrics that are sent to graphite.
XORShift RNG with unit tests and benchmark
This patch was introduced to address SPARK-950 - the discussion below the ticket explains not only the rationale, but also the design and testing decisions: https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-950
To run unit test, start SBT console and type:
compile
test-only org.apache.spark.util.XORShiftRandomSuite
To run benchmark, type:
project core
console
Once the Scala console starts, type:
org.apache.spark.util.XORShiftRandom.benchmark(100000000)
XORShiftRandom is also an object with a main method taking the
number of iterations as an argument, so you can also run it
from the command line.
Fix 'timeWriting' stat for shuffle files
Due to concurrent git branches, changes from shuffle file consolidation patch
caused the shuffle write timing patch to no longer actually measure the time,
since it requires time be measured after the stream has been closed.
Also changed the semantics of the index parameter in mapPartitionsWithIndex from the partition index of the output partition to the partition index in the current RDD.
AppendOnlyMap fixes
- Chose a more random reshuffling step for values returned by Object.hashCode to avoid some long chaining that was happening for consecutive integers (e.g. `sc.makeRDD(1 to 100000000, 100).map(t => (t, t)).reduceByKey(_ + _).count`)
- Some other small optimizations throughout (see commit comments)
- Don't check keys for equality when re-inserting due to growing the
table; the keys will already be unique
- Remember the grow threshold instead of recomputing it on each insert
- Use Murmur Hash 3 finalization step to scramble the bits of HashCode
instead of the simpler version in java.util.HashMap; the latter one
had trouble with ranges of consecutive integers. Murmur Hash 3 is used
by fastutil.
- Use Object.equals() instead of Scala's == to compare keys, because the
latter does extra casts for numeric types (see the equals method in
https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/master/src/library/scala/runtime/BoxesRunTime.java)
Support preservesPartitioning in RDD.zipPartitions
In `RDD.zipPartitions`, add support for a `preservesPartitioning` option (similar to `RDD.mapPartitions`) that reuses the first RDD's partitioner.
Due to concurrent git branches, changes from shuffle file consolidation patch
caused the shuffle write timing patch to no longer actually measure the time,
since it requires time be measured after the stream has been closed.

This enables spark-shell to run upon YARN.
