Josh Rosen 81d48532d9 [SPARK-13696] Remove BlockStore class & simplify interfaces of mem. & disk stores
Today, both the MemoryStore and DiskStore implement a common `BlockStore` API, but I feel that this API is inappropriate because it abstracts away important distinctions between the behavior of these two stores.

For instance, the disk store doesn't have a notion of storing deserialized objects, so it's confusing for it to expose object-based APIs like putIterator() and getValues() instead of only exposing binary APIs and pushing the responsibilities of serialization and deserialization to the client. Similarly, the DiskStore put() methods accepted a `StorageLevel` parameter even though the disk store can only store blocks in one form.

As part of a larger BlockManager interface cleanup, this patch remove the BlockStore interface and refines the MemoryStore and DiskStore interfaces to reflect more narrow sets of responsibilities for those components. Some of the benefits of this interface cleanup are reflected in simplifications to several unit tests to eliminate now-unnecessary mocking, significant simplification of the BlockManager's `getLocal()` and `doPut()` methods, and a narrower API between the MemoryStore and DiskStore.

Closes #11534 from JoshRosen/remove-blockstore-interface.

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page and project wiki. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

build/mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.) More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark". For developing Spark using an IDE, see Eclipse and IntelliJ.

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1000:

scala> sc.parallelize(1 to 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1000:

>>> sc.parallelize(range(1000)).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run tests for a module, or individual tests.

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration Guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
