Apache Spark
Introduction
Apache Spark is an open source framework for distributed computation initially developed by the AMPLab at Berkeley University and is now a project sponsored by the Apache foundation. Unlike the MapReduce algorithm implemented by Hadoop that uses disk storage, Spark makes use of primitives which are stored in memory, thereby achieving up to 100x the performance of Hadoop in certain applications. Loading data in memory allows them to be queried frequently, making Spark a framework especially appropriate for automated learning and interactive data analysis.

Monitoring
Les journaux d'activités de l'application Spark qui a été exécuté peuvent être sauvegardés et consultés par la suite à l'aide d'une application web fournie avec Spark. Les instructions suivantes montrent comment activer la sauvegarde des journaux et le démarrage de l'application web.
Configuration
Créer d'abord un répertoire qui contiendra les journaux d'application :
[name@server ~]$ mkdir ~/.spark/<spark version>/eventlog
S'il n'existe pas déjà, créer ensuite un répertoire qui contiendra les paramètres de configuration de Spark :
[name@server ~]$ mkdir ~/.spark/<spark version>/conf
In this directory, create the following file or add the content shown to the file spark-defaults.conf if it already exists.
spark.eventLog.enabled true
spark.eventLog.dir /home/<userid>/.spark/<spark version>/eventlog
spark.history.fs.logDirectory /home/<userid>/.spark/<spark version>/eventlog
Visualization
Create a tunnel between your computer and the cluster.
Load the Spark module:
[name@server ~]$ module load spark/2.3.0
Lancer l'application web de visualisation des journaux :
[name@server ~]$ SPARK_NO_DAEMONIZE=1 start-history-server.sh
starting org.apache.spark.deploy.history.HistoryServer, logging to /home/<userid>/.spark/<spark version>/log/spark-<userid>-org.apache.spark.deploy.history.HistoryServer-1-<server>.computecanada.ca.out
