Matei Zaharia c8bf4131bc [SPARK-1566] consolidate programming guide, and general doc updates
This is a fairly large PR to clean up and update the docs for 1.0. The major changes are:

* A unified programming guide for all languages replaces language-specific ones and shows language-specific info in tabs
* New programming guide sections on key-value pairs, unit testing, input formats beyond text, migrating from 0.9, and passing functions to Spark
* Spark-submit guide moved to a separate page and expanded slightly
* Various cleanups of the menu system, security docs, and others
* Updated look of title bar to differentiate the docs from previous Spark versions

You can find the updated docs at http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/ and in particular http://people.apache.org/~matei/1.0-docs/_site/programming-guide.html.

global Third-Party Hadoop Distributions

Spark can run against all versions of Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). There are a few things to keep in mind when using Spark with these distributions:

Compile-time Hadoop Version

When compiling Spark, you'll need to specify the Hadoop version by defining the hadoop.version property. For certain versions, you will need to specify additional profiles. For more detail, see the guide on building with maven:

mvn -Dhadoop.version=1.0.4 -DskipTests clean package
mvn -Phadoop-2.2 -Dhadoop.version=2.2.0 -DskipTests clean package

The table below lists the corresponding hadoop.version code for each CDH/HDP release. Note that some Hadoop releases are binary compatible across client versions. This means the pre-built Spark distribution may "just work" without you needing to compile. That said, we recommend compiling with the exact Hadoop version you are running to avoid any compatibility errors.

CDH Releases

ReleaseVersion code
CDH 4.X.X (YARN mode)2.0.0-cdh4.X.X
CDH 4.X.X2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.X.X
CDH 3u60.20.2-cdh3u6
CDH 3u50.20.2-cdh3u5
CDH 3u40.20.2-cdh3u4

HDP Releases

ReleaseVersion code
HDP 1.31.2.0
HDP 1.21.1.2
HDP 1.11.0.3
HDP 1.01.0.3
HDP 2.02.2.0

In SBT, the equivalent can be achieved by setting the SPARK_HADOOP_VERSION flag:

SPARK_HADOOP_VERSION=1.0.4 sbt/sbt assembly

Linking Applications to the Hadoop Version

In addition to compiling Spark itself against the right version, you need to add a Maven dependency on that version of hadoop-client to any Spark applications you run, so they can also talk to the HDFS version on the cluster. If you are using CDH, you also need to add the Cloudera Maven repository. This looks as follows in SBT:

{% highlight scala %} libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-client" % ""

// If using CDH, also add Cloudera repo resolvers += "Cloudera Repository" at "https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/" {% endhighlight %}

Or in Maven:

{% highlight xml %} ... org.apache.hadoop hadoop-client [version]

... Cloudera repository https://repository.cloudera.com/artifactory/cloudera-repos/

{% endhighlight %}

Where to Run Spark

As described in the Hardware Provisioning guide, Spark can run in a variety of deployment modes:

  • Using dedicated set of Spark nodes in your cluster. These nodes should be co-located with your Hadoop installation.
  • Running on the same nodes as an existing Hadoop installation, with a fixed amount memory and cores dedicated to Spark on each node.
  • Run Spark alongside Hadoop using a cluster resource manager, such as YARN or Mesos.

These options are identical for those using CDH and HDP.

Inheriting Cluster Configuration

If you plan to read and write from HDFS using Spark, there are two Hadoop configuration files that should be included on Spark's classpath:

  • hdfs-site.xml, which provides default behaviors for the HDFS client.
  • core-site.xml, which sets the default filesystem name.

The location of these configuration files varies across CDH and HDP versions, but a common location is inside of /etc/hadoop/conf. Some tools, such as Cloudera Manager, create configurations on-the-fly, but offer a mechanisms to download copies of them.

To make these files visible to Spark, set HADOOP_CONF_DIR in $SPARK_HOME/spark-env.sh to a location containing the configuration files.
