- 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.
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).
