Set default logging to WARN for Spark streaming examples.
This programatically sets the log level to WARN by default for streaming
tests. If the user has already specified a log4j.properties file,
the user's file will take precedence over this default.

Improvements to DStream window ops and refactoring of Spark's CheckpointSuite
- Added a new RDD - PartitionerAwareUnionRDD. Using this RDD, one can take multiple RDDs partitioned by the same partitioner and unify them into a single RDD while preserving the partitioner. So m RDDs with p partitions each will be unified to a single RDD with p partitions and the same partitioner. The preferred location for each partition of the unified RDD will be the most common preferred location of the corresponding partitions of the parent RDDs. For example, location of partition 0 of the unified RDD will be where most of partition 0 of the parent RDDs are located.
- Improved the performance of DStream's reduceByKeyAndWindow and groupByKeyAndWindow. Both these operations work by doing per-batch reduceByKey/groupByKey and then using PartitionerAwareUnionRDD to union the RDDs across the window. This eliminates a shuffle related to the window operation, which can reduce batch processing time by 30-40% for simple workloads.
- Fixed bugs and simplified Spark's CheckpointSuite. Some of the tests were incorrect and unreliable. Added missing tests for ZippedRDD. I can go into greater detail if necessary.
- Added mapSideCombine option to combineByKeyAndWindow.
Also replaced SparkConf.getOrElse with just a "get" that takes a default
value, and added getInt, getLong, etc to make code that uses this
simpler later on.
- 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).
- Refactored Scheduler + JobManager to JobGenerator + JobScheduler and
added JobSet for cleaner code. Moved scheduler related code to
streaming.scheduler package.
- Added StreamingListener trait (similar to SparkListener) to enable
gathering to streaming stats like processing times and delays.
StreamingContext.addListener() to added listeners.
- Deduped some code in streaming tests by modifying TestSuiteBase, and
added StreamingListenerSuite.
- 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.
I've diff'd this patch against my own -- since they were both created
independently, this means that two sets of eyes have gone over all the
merge conflicts that were created, so I'm feeling significantly more
confident in the resulting PR.
@rxin has looked at the changes to the repl and is resoundingly
confident that they are correct.
Kafka uses an older version of jopt that causes bad conflicts with the version
used by spark-perf. It's not easy to remove this downstream because of the way
that spark-perf uses Spark (by including a spark assembly as an unmanaged jar).
This fixes the problem at its source by just never including it.
This patch adds an operator called repartition with more straightforward
semantics than the current `coalesce` operator. There are a few use cases
where this operator is useful:
1. If a user wants to increase the number of partitions in the RDD. This
is more common now with streaming. E.g. a user is ingesting data on one
node but they want to add more partitions to ensure parallelism of
subsequent operations across threads or the cluster.
Right now they have to call rdd.coalesce(numSplits, shuffle=true) - that's
super confusing.
2. If a user has input data where the number of partitions is not known. E.g.
> sc.textFile("some file").coalesce(50)....
This is both vague semantically (am I growing or shrinking this RDD) but also,
may not work correctly if the base RDD has fewer than 50 partitions.
The new operator forces shuffles every time, so it will always produce exactly
the number of new partitions. It also throws an exception rather than silently
not-working if a bad input is passed.
I am currently adding streaming tests (requires refactoring some of the test
suite to allow testing at partition granularity), so this is not ready for
merge yet. But feedback is welcome.
MQTT Adapter for Spark Streaming
MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/Internet of Things connectivity protocol.
It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. You may read more about it here http://mqtt.org/
Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is an open message protocol for M2M communications. It enables the transfer of telemetry-style data in the form of messages from devices like sensors and actuators, to mobile phones, embedded systems on vehicles, or laptops and full scale computers.
The protocol was invented by Andy Stanford-Clark of IBM, and Arlen Nipper of Cirrus Link Solutions
This protocol enables a publish/subscribe messaging model in an extremely lightweight way. It is useful for connections with remote locations where line of code and network bandwidth is a constraint.
MQTT is one of the widely used protocol for 'Internet of Things'. This protocol is getting much attraction as anything and everything is getting connected to internet and they all produce data. Researchers and companies predict some 25 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2015.
Plugin/Support for MQTT is available in popular MQs like RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ etc.
Support for MQTT in Spark will help people with Internet of Things (IoT) projects to use Spark Streaming for their real time data processing needs (from sensors and other embedded devices etc).
Serialize and restore spark.cleaner.ttl to savepoint
In accordance to conversation in spark-dev maillist, preserve spark.cleaner.ttl parameter when serializing checkpoint.
This is an unfortunately invasive change which converts all of our BlockId
strings into actual BlockId types. Here are some advantages of doing this now:
+ Type safety
+ Code clarity - it's now obvious what the key of a shuffle or rdd block is,
for instance. Additionally, appearing in tuple/map type signatures is a big
readability bonus. A Seq[(String, BlockStatus)] is not very clear.
Further, we can now use more Scala features, like matching on BlockId types.
+ Explicit usage - we can now formally tell where various BlockIds are being used
(without doing string searches); this makes updating current BlockIds a much
clearer process, and compiler-supported.
(I'm looking at you, shuffle file consolidation.)
+ It will only get harder to make this change as time goes on.
Since this touches a lot of files, it'd be best to either get this patch
in quickly or throw it on the ground to avoid too many secondary merge conflicts.

In scala 2.10, a shorter representation is used for naming artifacts
so changed to shorter scala version for artifacts and made it a property in pom.
