GeezerVison is showing spark.apache.org — Apache Spark™ - Unified Engine for large-scale data analytics

Unified engine for large-scale data analytics

Get Started

What is Apache Spark™?

Apache Spark™ is a multi-language engine for executing data engineering, data science, and machine learning on single-node machines or clusters.
Simple.
Fast.
Scalable.
Unified.
Key features
Batch/streaming data
Batch/streaming data
Unify the processing of your data in batches and real-time streaming, using your preferred language: Python, SQL, Scala, Java or R.
SQL analytics
SQL analytics
Execute fast, distributed ANSI SQL queries for dashboarding and ad-hoc reporting. Runs faster than most data warehouses.
Data science at scale
Data science at scale
Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on petabyte-scale data without having to resort to downsampling
Machine Learning
Machine learning
Train machine learning algorithms on a laptop and use the same code to scale to fault-tolerant clusters of thousands of machines.
Run now
Install with 'pip'

$ pip install pyspark

$ pyspark

Use the official Docker image

$ docker run -it --rm spark:python3 /opt/spark/bin/pyspark

df = spark.read.json("logs.json")
df.where("age > 21").select("name.first").show()
# Every record contains a label and feature vector
df = spark.createDataFrame(data, ["label", "features"])

# Split the data into train/test datasets
train_df, test_df = df.randomSplit([.80, .20], seed=42)

# Set hyperparameters for the algorithm
rf = RandomForestRegressor(numTrees=100)

# Fit the model to the training data
model = rf.fit(train_df)

# Generate predictions on the test dataset.
model.transform(test_df).show()
df = spark.read.csv("accounts.csv", header=True)

# Select subset of features and filter for balance > 0
filtered_df = df.select("AccountBalance", "CountOfDependents").filter("AccountBalance > 0")

# Generate summary statistics
filtered_df.summary().show()
Run now

$ docker run -it --rm spark /opt/spark/bin/spark-sql

SELECT
  name.first AS first_name,
  name.last AS last_name,
  age
FROM json.`logs.json`
  WHERE age > 21;
Run now

$ docker run -it --rm spark /opt/spark/bin/spark-shell

scala>

val df = spark.read.json("logs.json")
df.where("age > 21")
  .select("name.first").show()
Run now

$ docker run -it --rm spark /opt/spark/bin/spark-shell

scala>

Dataset df = spark.read().json("logs.json");
df.where("age > 21")
  .select("name.first").show();
Run now

Spark SQL engine: under the hood
Apache Spark™ is built on an advanced distributed SQL engine for large-scale data
Adaptive Query Execution

Spark SQL adapts the execution plan at runtime, such as automatically setting the number of reducers and join algorithms.

Support for ANSI SQL

Use the same SQL you’re already comfortable with.

Structured and unstructured data

Spark SQL works on structured tables and unstructured data such as JSON or images.

TPC-DS 1TB No-Stats With vs. Without Adaptive Query Execution
Accelerates TPC-DS queries up to 8x
Join the community
