Approximate distinct count
Added countApproxDistinct() to RDD and countApproxDistinctByKey() to PairRDDFunctions to approximately count distinct number of elements and distinct number of values per key, respectively. Both functions use HyperLogLog from stream-lib for counting. Both functions take a parameter that controls the trade-off between accuracy and memory consumption. Also added Scala docs and test suites for both methods.
Bug fixes for file input stream and checkpointing
- Fixed bugs in the file input stream that led the stream to fail due to transient HDFS errors (listing files when a background thread it deleting fails caused errors, etc.)
- Updated Spark's CheckpointRDD and Streaming's CheckpointWriter to use SparkContext.hadoopConfiguration, to allow checkpoints to be written to any HDFS compatible store requiring special configuration.
- Changed the API of SparkContext.setCheckpointDir() - eliminated the unnecessary 'useExisting' parameter. Now SparkContext will always create a unique subdirectory within the user specified checkpoint directory. This is to ensure that previous checkpoint files are not accidentally overwritten.
- Fixed bug where setting checkpoint directory as a relative local path caused the checkpointing to fail.
- Got rid of global SparkContext.globalConf
- Pass SparkConf to serializers and compression codecs
- Made SparkConf public instead of private[spark]
- Improved API of SparkContext and SparkConf
- Switched executor environment vars to be passed through SparkConf
- Fixed some places that were still using system properties
- Fixed some tests, though others are still failing
This still fails several tests in core, repl and streaming, likely due
to properties not being set or cleared correctly (some of the tests run
fine in isolation).
The rest of the SparkListener events are named with "SparkListener"
as the prefix of the name; this commit renames the StageCompleted
event to SparkListenerStageCompleted for consistency.
Deduplicate Local and Cluster schedulers.
The code in LocalScheduler/LocalTaskSetManager was nearly identical
to the code in ClusterScheduler/ClusterTaskSetManager. The redundancy
made making updating the schedulers unnecessarily painful and error-
prone. This commit combines the two into a single TaskScheduler/
TaskSetManager.
Unfortunately the diff makes this change look much more invasive than it is -- TaskScheduler.scala is only superficially changed (names updated, overrides removed) from the old ClusterScheduler.scala, and the same with
TaskSetManager.scala.
Thanks @rxin for suggesting this change!
Track and report task result serialisation time.
- DirectTaskResult now has a ByteBuffer valueBytes instead of a T value.
- DirectTaskResult now has a member function T value() that deserialises valueBytes.
- Executor serialises value into a ByteBuffer and passes it to DTR's ctor.
- Executor tracks the time taken to do so and puts it in a new field in TaskMetrics.
- StagePage now reports serialisation time from TaskMetrics along with the other things it reported.
Change the implementation to use runJob instead of PartitionPruningRDD.
Also update the unit tests and the python take implementation
to use the new interface.
Fix for spark.task.maxFailures not enforced correctly.
Docs at http://spark.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration.html say:
```
spark.task.maxFailures
Number of individual task failures before giving up on the job. Should be greater than or equal to 1. Number of allowed retries = this value - 1.
```
Previous implementation worked incorrectly. When for example `spark.task.maxFailures` was set to 1, the job was aborted only after the second task failure, not after the first one.
- Made file stream more robust to transient failures.
- Changed Spark.setCheckpointDir API to not have the second
'useExisting' parameter. Spark will always create a unique directory
for checkpointing underneath the directory provide to the funtion.
- Fixed bug wrt local relative paths as checkpoint directory.
- Made DStream and RDD checkpointing use
SparkContext.hadoopConfiguration, so that more HDFS compatible
filesystems are supported for checkpointing.
stageId <--> jobId mapping in DAGScheduler
Okay, I think this one is ready to go -- or at least it's ready for review and discussion. It's a carry-over of https://github.com/mesos/spark/pull/842 with updates for the newer job cancellation functionality. The prior discussion still applies. I've actually changed the job cancellation flow a bit: Instead of ``cancelTasks`` going to the TaskScheduler and then ``taskSetFailed`` coming back to the DAGScheduler (resulting in ``abortStage`` there), the DAGScheduler now takes care of figuring out which stages should be cancelled, tells the TaskScheduler to cancel tasks for those stages, then does the cleanup within the DAGScheduler directly without the need for any further prompting by the TaskScheduler.
I know of three outstanding issues, each of which can and should, I believe, be handled in follow-up pull requests:
1) https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-960
2) JobLogger should be re-factored to eliminate duplication
3) Related to 2), the WebUI should also become a consumer of the DAGScheduler's new understanding of the relationship between jobs and stages so that it can display progress indication and the like grouped by job. Right now, some of this information is just being sent out as part of ``SparkListenerJobStart`` messages, but more or different job <--> stage information may need to be exported from the DAGScheduler to meet listeners needs.
Except for the eventQueue -> Actor commit, the rest can be cherry-picked almost cleanly into branch-0.8. A little merging is needed in MapOutputTracker and the DAGScheduler. Merged versions of those files are in aba2b40ce0
Note that between the recent Actor change in the DAGScheduler and the cleaning up of DAGScheduler data structures on job completion in this PR, some races have been introduced into the DAGSchedulerSuite. Those tests usually pass, and I don't think that better-behaved code that doesn't directly inspect DAGScheduler data structures should be seeing any problems, but I'll work on fixing DAGSchedulerSuite as either an addition to this PR or as a separate request.
UPDATE: Fixed the race that I introduced. Created a JIRA issue (SPARK-965) for the one that was introduced with the switch to eventProcessorActor in the DAGScheduler.
...and make sure that DAGScheduler data structures are cleaned up on job completion.
Initial effort and discussion at https://github.com/mesos/spark/pull/842
Re-enable zk:// urls for Mesos SparkContexts
This was broken in PR #71 when we explicitly disallow anything that didn't fit a mesos:// url.
Although it is not really clear that a zk:// url should match Mesos, it is what the docs say and it is necessary for backwards compatibility.
Additionally added a unit test for the creation of all types of TaskSchedulers. Since YARN and Mesos are not necessarily available in the system, they are allowed to pass as long as the YARN/Mesos code paths are exercised.
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.
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.
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.
PartitionPruningRDD is using index from parent
I was getting a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception after doing union on pruned RDD. The index it was using on the partition was the index in the original RDD not the new pruned RDD.
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)
Migrate the daemon thread started by DAGScheduler to Akka actor
`DAGScheduler` adopts an event queue and a daemon thread polling the it to process events sent to a `DAGScheduler`. This is a classical actor use case. By migrating this thread to Akka actor, we may benefit from both cleaner code and better performance (context switching cost of Akka actor is much less than that of a native thread).
But things become a little complicated when taking existing test code into consideration.
Code in `DAGSchedulerSuite` is somewhat tightly coupled with `DAGScheduler`, and directly calls `DAGScheduler.processEvent` instead of posting event messages to `DAGScheduler`. To minimize code change, I chose to let the actor to delegate messages to `processEvent`. Maybe this doesn't follow conventional actor usage, but I tried to make it apparently correct.
Another tricky part is that, since `DAGScheduler` depends on the `ActorSystem` provided by its field `env`, `env` cannot be null. But the `dagScheduler` field created in `DAGSchedulerSuite.before` was given a null `env`. What's more, `BlockManager.blockIdsToBlockManagers` checks whether `env` is null to determine whether to run the production code or the test code (bad smell here, huh?). I went through all callers of `BlockManager.blockIdsToBlockManagers`, and made sure that if `env != null` holds, then `blockManagerMaster == null` must also hold. That's the logic behind `BlockManager.scala` [line 896](https://github.com/liancheng/incubator-spark/compare/dagscheduler-actor-refine?expand=1#diff-2b643ea78c1add0381754b1f47eec132L896).
At last, since `DAGScheduler` instances are always `start()`ed after creation, I removed the `start()` method, and starts the `eventProcessActor` within the constructor.
Include appId in executor cmd line args
add the appId back into the executor cmd line args.
I also made a pretty lame regression test, just to make sure it doesn't get dropped in the future. not sure it will run on the build server, though, b/c `ExecutorRunner.buildCommandSeq()` expects to be abel to run the scripts in `bin`.
