succeeds on the same system with terabytes of data. In the authors’ experience writ‐

ing production Spark code, we have seen the same tasks, run on the same clusters,

run 100× faster using some of the optimizations discussed in this book. In terms of

data processing, time is money, and we hope this book pays for itself through a

reduction in data infrastructure costs and developer hours.

Not all of these techniques are applicable to every use case. Especially because Spark

is highly configurable and is exposed at a higher level than other computational

frameworks of comparable power, we can reap tremendous benefits just by becoming

more attuned to the shape and structure of our data. Some techniques can work well

on certain data sizes or even certain key distributions, but not all. The simplest exam‐

ple of this can be how for many problems, using groupByKey in Spark can very easily

cause the dreaded out-of-memory exceptions, but for data with few duplicates this

operation can be just as quick as the alternatives that we will present. Learning to

understand your particular use case and system and how Spark will interact with it is

a must to solve the most complex data science problems with Spark.

What You Can Expect to Get from This Book

Our hope is that this book will help you take your Spark queries and make them

faster, able to handle larger data sizes, and use fewer resources. This book covers a

broad range of tools and scenarios. You will likely pick up some techniques that

might not apply to the problems you are working with, but that might apply to a

problem in the future and may help shape your understanding of Spark more gener‐

ally. The chapters in this book are written with enough context to allow the book to

be used as a reference; however, the structure of this book is intentional and reading

the sections in order should give you not only a few scattered tips, but a comprehen‐

sive understanding of Apache Spark and how to make it sing.

It’s equally important to point out what you will likely not get from this book. This

book is not intended to be an introduction to Spark or Scala; several other books and

video series are available to get you started. The authors may be a little biased in this

regard, but we think Learning Spark by Karau, Konwinski, Wendell, and Zaharia as

well as Paco Nathan’s introduction video series are excellent options for Spark begin‐

ners. While this book is focused on performance, it is not an operations book, so top‐

ics like setting up a cluster and multitenancy are not covered. We are assuming that

you already have a way to use Spark in your system, so we won’t provide much assis‐

tance in making higher-level architecture decisions. There are future books in the

works, by other authors, on the topic of Spark operations that may be done by the

time you are reading this one. If operations are your show, or if there isn’t anyone

responsible for operations in your organization, we hope those books can help you.

2 MiMa is the Migration Manager for Scala and tries to catch binary incompatibilities between releases.

Spark Versions

Spark follows semantic versioning with the standard [MAJOR].[MINOR].[MAINTE‐

NANCE] with API stability for public nonexperimental nondeveloper APIs within

minor and maintenance releases. Many of these experimental components are some

of the more exciting from a performance standpoint, including Datasets—Spark

SQL’s new structured, strongly-typed, data abstraction. Spark also tries for binary

API compatibility between releases, using MiMa

; so if you are using the stable API

you generally should not need to recompile to run a job against a new version of

Spark unless the major version has changed.

This book was created using the Spark 2.0.1 APIs, but much of the

code will work in earlier versions of Spark as well. In places where

this is not the case we have attempted to call that out.

Why Scala?

In this book, we will focus on Spark’s Scala API and assume a working knowledge of

Scala. Part of this decision is simply in the interest of time and space; we trust readers

wanting to use Spark in another language will be able to translate the concepts used

in this book without presenting the examples in Java and Python. More importantly,

it is the belief of the authors that “serious” performant Spark development is most

easily achieved in Scala.

To be clear, these reasons are very specific to using Spark with Scala; there are many

more general arguments for (and against) Scala’s applications in other contexts.

To Be a Spark Expert You Have to Learn a Little Scala Anyway

Although Python and Java are more commonly used languages, learning Scala is a

worthwhile investment for anyone interested in delving deep into Spark develop‐

ment. Spark’s documentation can be uneven. However, the readability of the code‐

base is world-class. Perhaps more than with other frameworks, the advantages of

cultivating a sophisticated understanding of the Spark codebase is integral to the

advanced Spark user. Because Spark is written in Scala, it will be difficult to interact

with the Spark source code without the ability, at least, to read Scala code. Further‐

more, the methods in the Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDD) class closely mimic

those in the Scala collections API. RDD functions, such as map, filter, flatMap,

different.

some severe performance restrictions that we discuss in “Iterator-to-Iterator Transformations with mapParti‐

tions” on page 98.

reduce, and fold, have nearly identical specifications to their Scala equivalents.

Fun‐

damentally Spark is a functional framework, relying heavily on concepts like immut‐

ability and lambda definition, so using the Spark API may be more intuitive with

some knowledge of functional programming.

The Spark Scala API Is Easier to Use Than the Java API

Once you have learned Scala, you will quickly find that writing Spark in Scala is less

painful than writing Spark in Java. First, writing Spark in Scala is significantly more

concise than writing Spark in Java since Spark relies heavily on inline function defini‐

tions and lambda expressions, which are much more naturally supported in Scala

(especially before Java 8). Second, the Spark shell can be a powerful tool for debug‐

ging and development, and is only available in languages with existing REPLs (Scala,

Python, and R).

Scala Is More Performant Than Python

It can be attractive to write Spark in Python, since it is easy to learn, quick to write,

interpreted, and includes a very rich set of data science toolkits. However, Spark code

written in Python is often slower than equivalent code written in the JVM, since Scala

is statically typed, and the cost of JVM communication (from Python to Scala) can be

very high. Last, Spark features are generally written in Scala first and then translated

into Python, so to use cutting-edge Spark functionality, you will need to be in the

JVM; Python support for MLlib and Spark Streaming are particularly behind.

Why Not Scala?

There are several good reasons to develop with Spark in other languages. One of the

more important constant reasons is developer/team preference. Existing code, both

internal and in libraries, can also be a strong reason to use a different language.

Python is one of the most supported languages today. While writing Java code can be

clunky and sometimes lag slightly in terms of API, there is very little performance

cost to writing in another JVM language (at most some object conversions).
