This is a basic scala project that includes spark dependencies and necessary build-configuration to build a jar that can be submitted to a spark installation via spark-submit.
git clone git@github.com:HPI-Information-Systems/spark-tutorial.git
- Select the Scala and sbt plugins to be installed during the installation; otherwise you need to install them later
- Start Intellij
- Select Open or Import
- Select the spark-tutorial/build.sbt file and click OK
- Click Open as Project (IntelliJ should automatically recognize the sbt project nature; note that the initialization might take a while for missing downloads and indexing; if IntelliJ does not automatically download the depencencies, you can open the sbt tab on the right edge of the screen and click Reload all sbt projects)
- Download the tpch.zip from https://hpi.de/fileadmin/user_upload/fachgebiete/naumann/lehre/WS2017/DDA/TPCH.zip
- Extract the zipped content into spark-tutorial/data, which should create the folder spark-tutorial/data/TPCH with 7 csv files
- Switch to your IntelliJ window and open spark-tutorial/src/main/scala/de/hpi/spark_tutorial in the project tree view
- Right-click SimpleSpark.scala and click Run SimpleSpark
- Remove the Tutorial and LongestCommonSubstring calls
- Implement the Sindy algorithm
- Click Run->Edit Configurations->+->SBT Task
- Enter a name, such as SparkTutorial assembly
- Enter task clean assembly
- Click OK
- You can now switch to and run the SparkTutorial assembly target in the top right Intellij bar
- Find your fat-jar in spark-tutorial/target/scala-2.12/SparkTutorialSBT-assembly-0.1.jar
- Modify the settings in the build.sbt to match the spark installation (Relevant settings are both the scalaVersion parameter and the specific versions of all the spark packages (for example in libraryDependencies += org.apache.spark %% spark-core % x replace x with the version of the spark installation, where you want to execute the code). If the scala version and the spark version do not exactly match those of the spark installation, you will encounter errors while executing the jar that are not really helpful in determining the cause.
