Webinar: From Hadoop to Spark(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 4
6. Hadoop in 20 Seconds
u ‘The Original’ Big data platform
u Very well field tested
u Scales to peta-bytes of data
u Enables analytics at massive scale
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 6
8. Hadoop Ecosystem – by function
u HDFS
– provides distributed storage
u Map Reduce
– Provides distributed computing
u Pig
– High level MapReduce
u Hive
– SQL layer over Hadoop
u HBase
– NoSQL storage for real-time queries
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 8
10. Hadoop : Use Cases
u Two modes : Batch & Real Time
u Batch use case
– Analytics at large scale (Terra bytes to peta bytes scale)
– Analytics times can be minutes / hours.
Depends on
• Size of data being analyzed
• And type of query
– Examples:
• Large ETL work loads
• “Analyze clickstream data and calculate top page visits”
• “Combine purchase data and click-data and figure out discounts to
apply”
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 10
11. Hadoop Use Cases
u Real Time Use Cases do not rely on Map Reduce
u Instead we use HBase
– A real-time NoSQL datastore built on Hadoop
u Example : Tracking Sensor data
– Store data from millions of sensor
– Could be billions of data points
– “Find latest reading from a sensor”
– This query must be done in
real time (in milli-seconds)
u “Needle in HayStack” scenarios
– We look for one / few records within
billions
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 11
14. Big Data Analytics Evolution (v1)
u Decision times : batch ( hours / days)
u Use cases:
– Modeling
– ETL
– Reporting
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 14
15. Moving Towards Fast Data (v2)
u Decision time : (near) real time
– seconds (or milli seconds)
u Use Cases
– Alerts (medical / security)
– Fraud detection
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 15
16. Current Big Data Processing Challenges
u Processing needs outpacing 1st generation tools
u Beyond Batch
– Not every one has terra-bytes of data to process
– Small – Medium data sets (few hundred gigs) are more prevalent
– Data may not be on disk
• In memory
• Coming via streaming channels
u MapReduce (MR)’s limitations
– Batch processing doesn't fit all needs
– Not effective for ‘iterative programming’ (machine learning
algorithms ..etc)
– High latency for streaming needs
u Spark is a 2nd generation tool addressing these needs
16(c) ElephantScale.com 2015
17. What is Spark?
u Open source cluster computing engine
– Very fast: In-memory ops 100x faster than MR
• On-disk ops 10x faster than MR
– General purpose: MR, SQL, streaming, machine learning,
analytics
– Compatible: Runs over Hadoop, Mesos, Yarn, standalone
• Works with HDFS, S3, Cassandra, HBase, …
– Easier to code: Word count in 2 lines
u Spark's roots:
– Came out of Berkeley AMP Lab
– Now top-level Apache project
– Version 1.5 released in Sept 2015
“First Big Data platform to integrate batch, streaming and interactive
computations in a unified framework” – stratio.com

44. Data Size
u Lot of Spark adoption at SMALL – MEDIUM scale
– Good fit
– Data might fit in memory !!
u Applications
– Iterative workloads (Machine learning, etc.)
– Streaming
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 44
46. Decision : File System
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 46
“What kind of
file system do I
need for Spark”
47. File System
u Hadoop = Storage + Compute
u Spark = Compute only
u Spark needs a distributed FS
u File system choices for Spark
– HDFS - Hadoop File System
• Reliable
• Good performance (data locality)
• Field tested for PB of data
– S3 : Amazon
• Reliable cloud storage
• Huge scale
– NFS : Network File System (‘shared FS across machines)
– Tachyon (in memory - experimental)
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 47
49. File Systems For Spark
HDFS NFS Amazon S3
Data locality High

Cost Varies Varies $30 / TB / Month
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 49
50. File Systems Throughput Comparison
u Data : 10G + (11.3 G)
u Each file : ~1+ G ( x 10)
u 400 million records total
u Partition size : 128 M
u On HDFS & S3
u Cluster :
– 8 Nodes on Amazon m3.xlarge (4 cpu , 15 G Mem, 40G SSD )

HDFS S3
Data locality à much higher
throughput
Data is streamed à lower
throughput
Need to maintain an Hadoop cluster No Hadoop cluster to maintain à
convenient
Large data sets (TB + ) Good use case:
- Smallish data sets (few gigs)
- Load once and cache and re-use

54. Decision : File Systems
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 54
Already have
Hadoop?
NO
HDFS
S3
NFS (Ceph)
Cassandra
(real time)
YES
use HDFS
55. Next Decision : SQL
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 55
“We use SQL heavily for data
mining.
We are using Hive / Impala on
Hadoop.
Is Spark right for us?”
56. SQL in Hadoop / Spark
Hadoop Spark
Engine - Hive (on Map Reduce or
Tez on Hortonworks)
- Impala (Cloudera)
- Spark SQL using
Dataframes
- Hive context
Language HiveQL - HiveQL
- RDD programming in
Java / Python / Scala
Scale Terabytes / Petabytes Gigabytes / Terabytes /
Petabytes
Inter operability Data stored in HDFS - Hive tables
- File system
Formats CSV, JSON, Parquet CSV, JSON, Parquet
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 56
57. Dataframes Vs. RDDs
u RDDs have data
u DataFrames also have schema
u Dataframes Used to be called ‘schemaRDD’
u Unified way to load / save data in multiple formats
u Provides high level operations
– Count / sum / average
– Select columns & filter them
57
(c)
Elephant
Scale.co
m 2015
// load json data
df = sqlContext.read
.format(“json”)
.load(“/data/data.json”)
// save as parquet (faster queries)
df.write
.format(“parquet”)
.saveAsTable(“/data/datap/”)
60. Querying Using SQL
u A DataFrame can be registered as a temporary table
– You can then use SQL to query it, as shown below
– This is handled similarly to DSL queries - building up an AST and
sending it to Catalyst
(c)
Elephant
Scale.co
m 201560 Session 6: Spark SQL
scala> df.registerTempTable("people")
scala> sqlContext.sql("select * from people").show()
name age
John 35
Jane 40
Mike 20
Sue 52
scala> sqlContext.sql("select * from people where age > 35").show()
name age
Jane 40
Sue 52
61. Going From Hive à Spark
u Spark natively supports querying data stored in Hive tables!
u Handy to use in an existing Hadoop cluster !!
61 Session 6: Spark SQL
HIVE
Hive> select customer_id, SUM(cost) as total from billing group by
customer_id order by total DESC LIMIT 10;
SPARK
val hiveCtx = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext(sc)
val top10 = hiveCtx.sql(
"select customer_id, SUM(cost) as total from billing group by
customer_id order by total DESC LIMIT 10")
top10.collect()

72. Numbers Every One Should Know by Jeff
Dean, Fellow @ Google
Operation Cost (in nano seconds)
L1 cache reference 0.5
Branch mispredict (cpu) 5
L2 cache reference 7
Mutex lock/unlock 100
Main memory reference 100
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 10,000
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network 20,000
Read 1 MB sequentially from memory 250,000 0.25 ms

Send packet CA->Netherlands->CA 150,000,000 150 ms
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 72
73. Spark Caching
u Caching is pretty effective (small / medium data sets)
u Cached data can not be shared across applications
(each application executes in its own sandbox)
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 73
76. Sharing Cached Data
u By default Spark applications can not share cached data
– Running in isolation
u 1) ‘spark job server’
– Multiplexer
– All requests are executed through same ‘context’
– Provides web-service interface
u 2) Tachyon
– Distributed In-memory file system
– Memory is the new disk!
– Out of AMP lab , Berkeley
– Early stages (very promising)
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 76
78. Spark Job Server
u Open sourced from Ooyala
u ‘Spark as a Service’ – simple REST interface to launch jobs
u Sub-second latency !
u Pre-load jars for even faster spinup
u Share cached RDDs across requests (NamedRDD)
u https://github.com/spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 78
App1 :
sharedCtx.saveRDD(“my cached rdd”, rdd1)
App2:
RDD rdd2 = sharedCtx.loadRDD (“my cached rdd”)

82. Spark Cluster Setup 1 : Simple
u Great for POCs / experimentation
u No dependencies
u Using Spark’s ‘stand alone’ manager
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 82
83. Spark Cluster Setup 2 : Production
u Works well with Hadoop eco system (HDFS / Hive ..etc)
u Best way to adopt Spark on Hadoop
u Uses YARN as cluster manager
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 83
84. Spark Cluster Setup 3 : Production
u Uses Mesos as cluster manager
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 84
86. Use Case 1 : Moving to Cloud
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 86
87. Use Case 1 : Lessons Learned
u Size
– Small Hadoop cluster (8 nodes)
– Smallish data : 50G – 300G
– Data for processing : few Gigs per query
u Good !
– Only one moving part 'spark'
– No Hadoop cluster to maintain
– S3 was a dependable storage (passive)
– Query response time gone from minutes to seconds (b/c we went
from MR à Spark)
u Not so good
– We lost data locality of HDFS
(ok for small/medium data sets)
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 87
88. Use Case 2 : Persistent Caching in Spark
u Can we improve latency in this setup?
u Caching will help
u How ever, in Spark cached data can not be shared across
applications L
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 88
89. Use Case 2 : Persistent Caching in Spark
u Spark Job Server to rescue !
(c) ElephantScale.com 2015 89
90. Final Thoughts
u Already on Hadoop?
– Try Spark side-by-side
– Process some data in HDFS
– Try Spark SQL for Hive tables
u Contemplating Hadoop?
– Try Spark (standalone)
– Choose NFS or S3 file system
u Take advantage of caching
– Iterative loads
– Spark Job server
– Tachyon
