Spark-Gradle-Template

A barebones project with scala, apache spark built using gradle. Spark-shell provides spark and sc variables pre-initialised, here I did the same using a scala trait that you can extend.

Prerequisites

Build and Demo process

Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/faizanahemad/spark-gradle-template.git

Build

./gradlew clean build

Run

./gradlew run

All Together

./gradlew clean run

What the demo does?

Take a look at src->main->scala->template->spark directory

We have two Items here.

The trait InitSpark which is extended by any class that wants to run spark code. This trait has all the code for initialization. I have also supressed the logging to only error levels for less noise.

The file Main.scala has the executable class Main. In this class, I do 4 things

Print spark version.
Find sum from 1 to 100 (inclusive).
Read a csv file into a structured DataSet.
Find average age of persons from the csv.

InitSpark.scala

trait InitSpark {
  val spark: SparkSession = SparkSession.builder().appName("Spark example").master("local[*]")
                            .config("spark.some.config.option", "some-value").getOrCreate()
  val sc = spark.sparkContext
  val sqlContext = spark.sqlContext
  def reader = spark.read.option("header",true).option("inferSchema", true).option("mode", "DROPMALFORMED")
  def readerWithoutHeader = spark.read.option("header",true).option("inferSchema", true).option("mode", "DROPMALFORMED")
  private def init = {
    sc.setLogLevel("ERROR")
    Logger.getLogger("org").setLevel(Level.ERROR)
    Logger.getLogger("akka").setLevel(Level.ERROR)
    LogManager.getRootLogger.setLevel(Level.ERROR)
  }
  init
  def close = {
    spark.close()
  }
}

Main.scala

final case class Person(firstName: String, lastName: String, country: String, age: Int)

object Main extends InitSpark {
  def main(args: Array[String]) = {
    import spark.implicits._

    val version = spark.version
    println("VERSION_STRING = " + version)

    val sumHundred = spark.range(1, 101).reduce(_ + _)
    println(sumHundred)

    val persons = reader.csv("people-example.csv").as[Person]
    val averageAge = persons.agg(avg("age")).first.get(0).asInstanceOf[Double]
    println(f"Average Age: $averageAge%.2f")

    close
  }
}
