Spark是2015年最受热捧大数据开源平台，我们花一点时间来快速体验一下Spark。
Spark 技术栈
如上图所示，Spark的技术栈包括了这些模块：
核心模块 ：Spark Core
集群管理
Standalone Scheduler
YARN
Mesos
Spark SQL
Spark 流 Streaming
Spark 机器学习 MLLib
GraphX 图处理模块
安装和启动Spark
Spark Python Shell
> bin/pyspark
Spark Ipython Shell
> IPYTHON=1 ./bin/pyspark
> IPYTHON_OPTS="notebook" ./bin/pyspark
Spark 架构
初始化 Spark Context
在使用Spark的功能之前首先要初始化Spark的context，Context包含了Spark的连接和配置信息。
Spark Context，Driver和Worker节点之间的关系如下图：
from pyspark import SparkConf, SparkContext
conf = SparkConf().setMaster("local").setAppName("My App")
sc = SparkContext(conf = conf)
创建 RDD
RDD是Spark的基本数据模型，所有的操作都是基于RDD。RDD是inmutable（不可改变）的。
lines = sc.textFile("README.md")
pythonLines = lines.filter(lambda line: "Python" in line)
pythonLines.first()
pythonLines.count()
RDD 操作:
下面是一些对RDD的变形操作
RDD Transformation on {1,2,3,4}
两个RDD之间的操作， Transformation on {1,2,3} and {3,4,5}
RDD actions on {1,2,3,3}
Transformation on pair RDD {(1,2),(3,4),(3,6)}
Transform on two pair RDDs {(1,2),(3,4),(3,6)}, {(3,9)}
Spark 流 stream
Spark流基于RDD，可以理解对小的时间片段上的RDD操作。
SparkSQL
Spark SQL可以用于操作和查询结构化和半结构化的数据。包括Hive，JSON， CSV等。
# Import Spark SQL
from pyspark.sql import HiveContext, Row
# Or if you can't include the hive requirements
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext, Row
input = hiveCtx.jsonFile(inputFile)
# Register the input schema RDDinput.registerTempTable("tweets")
# Select tweets based on the retweetCount
topTweets = hiveCtx.sql("SELECT text, retweetCount FROM tweets ORDER BY retweetCount LIMIT 10")
Spark SQL支持JDBC
SparkML
机器学习的基本流程如下：
获得数据
从数据中提取特征
对数据进行有监督的或者无监督的学习，训练机器学习的模型
对模型进行评估，找出最佳模型
由于Spark的架构特点，Spark支持的机器学习算法是哪些可以并行的算法。
from pyspark.mllib.regression import LabeledPoint
from pyspark.mllib.feature import HashingTF
from pyspark.mllib.classification import LogisticRegressionWithSGD
spam = sc.textFile("spam.txt")normal = sc.textFile("normal.txt")
# Create a HashingTF instance to map email text to vectors of 10,000 features.
tf = HashingTF(numFeatures = 10000)
# Each email is split into words, and each word is mapped to one feature.
spamFeatures = spam.map(lambda email: tf.transform(email.split(" ")))
normalFeatures = normal.map(lambda email: tf.transform(email.split(" ")))
# Create LabeledPoint datasets for positive (spam) and negative (normal) examples.
positiveExamples = spamFeatures.map(lambda features: LabeledPoint(1, features))
negativeExamples = normalFeatures.map(lambda features: LabeledPoint(0, features))
trainingData = positiveExamples.union(negativeExamples)
trainingData.cache() # Cache since Logistic Regression is an iterative algorithm.
# Run Logistic Regression using the SGD algorithm.
model = LogisticRegressionWithSGD.train(trainingData)
# Test on a positive example (spam) and a negative one (normal). We first apply
# the same HashingTF feature transformation to get vectors, then apply the model.
posTest = tf.transform("O M G GET cheap stuff by sending money to ...".split(" "))
negTest = tf.transform("Hi Dad, I started studying Spark the other ...".split(" "))
print "Prediction for positive test example: %g" % model.predict(posTest)
print "Prediction for negative test example: %g" % model.predict(negTest)
