## Assignment 4: Spark
Assignment 4 focuses on using Apache Spark for doing large-scale data analysis
tasks. For this assignment, we will use relatively small datasets and we won't
run anything in distributed mode; however Spark can be easily used to run the
same programs on much larger datasets.
## Setup
Download files for Assignment 4 <a href="https://ceres.cs.umd.edu/424/assign/assignment4Dist.tgz?2">here</a>.
## Getting Started with Spark
This guide is basically a summary of the excellent tutorials that can be found
at the [Spark website](http://spark.apache.org).
[Apache Spark](https://spark.apache.org) is a relatively new cluster computing
framework, developed originally at UC Berkeley. It significantly generalizes the
2-stage Map-Reduce paradigm (originally proposed by Google and popularized by
open-source Hadoop system); Spark is instead based on the abstraction of
**resilient distributed datasets (RDDs)**. An RDD is basically a distributed
collection of items, that can be created in a variety of ways. Spark provides a
set of operations to transform one or more RDDs into an output RDD, and analysis
tasks are written as chains of these operations.
Spark can be used with the Hadoop ecosystem, including the HDFS file system and
the YARN resource manager.
### Setup
Download the startup files [here](https://ceres.cs.umd.edu/424/assign/assignment4Dist.tgz?2).
As before, use the Dockerfile to create and start an image:
- `docker build --rm -t 424 .`
- `docker run -it -v $(pwd):/424 424` (``docker run -it -v `pwd`:/424 424`` for tcsh)
## Spark and Python
Spark primarily supports three languages: Scala (Spark is written in Scala),
Java, and Python. We will use Python here -- you can follow the instructions at
the tutorial and quick start
(http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/quick-start.html) for other languages. The
Java equivalent code can be very verbose and hard to follow. The below shows a
way to use the Python interface through the standard Python shell.
### PySpark Shell
You can also use the PySpark Shell directly.
1. `$SPARKHOME/bin/pyspark`: This will start a Python shell (it will also output
a bunch of stuff about what Spark is doing). The relevant variables are
initialized in this python shell, but otherwise it is just a standard Python
shell.
2. `>>> textFile = sc.textFile("Dockerfile")`: This creates a new RDD, called
`textFile`, by reading data from a local file. The `sc.textFile` commands create
an RDD containing one entry per line in the file.
3. You can see some information about the RDD by doing `textFile.count()` or
`textFile.first()`, or `textFile.take(5)` (which prints an array containing 5
items from the RDD).
4. We recommend you follow the rest of the commands in the quick start guide
(http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/quick-start.html). Here we will simply do
the Word Count application.
#### Word Count Application
The following command (in the pyspark shell) does a word count, i.e., it counts
the number of times each word appears in the file `Dockerfile`. Use
`counts.take(5)` to see the output.
`>>> counts = textFile.flatMap(lambda line: line.split(" ")).map(lambda word:
(word, 1)).reduceByKey(lambda a, b: a + b)`
In more detail, from the docker container created as above:
```

Setting default log level to "WARN".
To adjust logging level use sc.setLogLevel(newLevel). For SparkR, use setLogLevel(newLevel).

Here is the same code without the use of `lambda` functions.
```
def split(line):
return line.split(" ")
def generateone(word):
return (word, 1)
def sum(a, b):
return a + b
counts = textFile.flatMap(split).map(generateone).reduceByKey(sum)
counts.take(5)
```
The `flatmap` splits each line into words, and the following `map` and `reduce`
do the counting (we will discuss this in the class, but here is an excellent and
detailed description: [Hadoop Map-Reduce
Tutorial](http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.2.1/mapred_tutorial.html#Source+Code)
(look for Walk-Through).
The `lambda` representation is more compact and preferable, especially for small
functions, but for large functions, it is better to separate out the
definitions.
### Running as an Application
Instead of using a shell, you can also write your code as a python file, and
*submit* that to the spark cluster. The assignment distro contains a
python file `wordcount.py`, which runs the program in a local mode. To run the
program, do: `$SPARKHOME/bin/spark-submit wordcount.py`. This creates
a directory `output`, containing a file that indicates success or
failure, and another file that contains the output:
```

### More...
We encourage you to look at the [Spark Programming
Guide](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/programming-guide.html) and play
with the other RDD manipulation commands. You should also try out the Scala and
Java interfaces.
## Assignment Details
We have provided a Python file: `assignment.py`, that initializes the folllowing
RDDs:
* An RDD consisting of lines from a Shakespeare play (`play.txt`)
* An RDD consisting of lines from a log file (`NASA_logs_sample.txt`)
* An RDD consisting of 2-tuples indicating user-product ratings from Amazon
Dataset (`amazon-ratings.txt`)
* An RDD consisting of JSON documents pertaining to all the Noble Laureates over
last few years (`prize.json`)
Your tasks are to fill out the six functions defined in
`functions.py` (starting with `task`). The amount of code that you write
will typically be small (several would be one-liners), with the exception of
the last one.
All tasks are worth a single point each.
- **Task 1**: This function takes as input the amazonInputRDD and calculate the
proportion of 1.0 rating review out of all reviews made by each customer. The
output will be an RDD where the key is the customer's user id, and the value
is the proportion in decimal. This can be completed by using `aggregateByKey`
or `reduceByKey` along with `map`.
- **Task 2**: Write just the flatmap function (`task2_flatmap`) that takes in a parsed JSON document (from `prize.json`) and returns the surnames of the Nobel Laureates. In other words, the following command should create an RDD with all the surnames. We will use `json.loads` to parse the JSONs (this is already done). Make sure to look at what it returns so you know how to access the information inside the parsed JSONs (these are basically nested dictionaries). (https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html)
```
task2_result = nobelRDD.map(json.loads).flatMap(task2_flatmap)
```
- **Task 3**: This function operates on the `logsRDD`. It takes as input a list
of *dates* and returns an RDD with "hosts" that were present in the log on all
of those dates. The dates would be provided as strings, in the same format that
they appear in the logs (e.g., '01/Jul/1995' and '02/Jul/1995'). The format of
the log entries should be self-explanatory, but here are more details if you
need: [NASA Logs](http://ita.ee.lbl.gov/html/contrib/NASA-HTTP.html) Try to
minimize the number of RDDs you end up creating.
- **Task 4**: On the `logsRDD`, for two given days (provided as input analogous
to Task 9 above), use a 'cogroup' to create the following RDD: the key of the
RDD will be a host, and the value will be a 2-tuple, where the first element is
a list of all URLs fetched from that host on the first day, and the second
element is the list of all URLs fetched from that host on the second day. Use
`filter` to first create two RDDs from the input `logsRDD`.
- **Task 5**: NLP often needs to preprocess the input data and can
benefit a lot from cluster
computing. [Tokenization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis#Tokenization)
is the process of chopping up the raw
text. [Bigrams](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigram) are sequences
of two consecutive words. For example, the previous sentence
contains the following bigrams: "Bigrams are", "are simply", "simply
sequences", "sequences of", etc. Your task here is to tokenize each
line by using punctuation and space to find tokens that consist
solely of alphanumeric letters (e.g. `Task
5: I'm easy.` will be tokenized into `["Task", "5", "I", "m",
"easy"]`); and count the appearance of each *bigram* of such
tokens. The return value should be a RDD where the key is a bigram,
and the value is its count.
- **Task 6**: Define a *character definition* as a line in `play.txt` that starts and ends w/ a
'*', and contains nothing but whitespace and upper-case
letters. Define the *attribution* of a line in the file as either
"none", if there have been no character definitions, and the last
character definition otherwise. Create an RDD with all characters
that have been defined, together w/ their attribution counts as
values. For example:
```
silly
*HOLIDAY*
nice
guy
*HARDEN*
jerk
*HOLIDAY*
Again, a good guy
```
should result in:
- ("HARDEN", 1)
- ("HOLIDAY", 3)
- ("none", 1)
though RDDs are unordered.
### Sample results.txt File
You can use spark-submit to run the `assignment.py` file, but it would be easier
to develop with `pyspark` (by copying the commands over).
**results.txt** shows the results of running assignment.py on our code using:
`$SPARKHOME/bin/spark-submit assignment.py`
### Submission
Submit the `functions.py` file [on gradescope](https://www.gradescope.com/courses/811728/assignments/4669995).
