A demonstration of a simple Spark project that uses Maven for building. The app simply counts the number of lines in a text file.
To build a JAR:
mvn package
To run on a cluster with Spark installed:
spark-submit --master local \
target/simplesparkproject-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar <input file>
To run a REPL that can reference the objects and classes defined in this project:
spark-shell --jars target/simplesparkproject-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar --master local
The --master local argument means that the application will run in a single local process. If
the cluster is running a Spark standalone cluster manager, you can replace it with
--master spark://<master host>:<master port>. If the cluster is running YARN, you can replace it
with --master yarn.
To pass configuration options on the command line, use the --conf option, e.g.
--conf spark.serializer=org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer.
