Difference between Spark HiveContext and SQLContext

Difference between Spark HiveContext and SQLContext

Goal:

This article explains what is the difference between Spark HiveContext and SQLContext.

Env:

Below tests are done on Spark 1.5.2

Solution:

Per Spark SQL programming guide, HiveContext is a super set of the SQLContext. Additional features include the ability to write queries using the more complete HiveQL parser, access to Hive UDFs, and the ability to read data from Hive tables.

For example, one the key difference is using HiveContext you can use the new window function feature.
In Spark 1.5.2, once you launch spark-shell, the default SQL context is already HiveContext, although below line still shows "SQL context":
1
SQL context available as sqlContext.
To avoid confusing, let's create 2 separate contexts explicitly in spark-shell:
1
2
3
4
import org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext;
import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext;
var hiveContext = new HiveContext(JavaSparkContext.toSparkContext(sc))
val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
HiveContext can use window function:
1
2
scala> hiveContext.sql("SELECT value, dense_rank() OVER (PARTITION BY key ORDER BY value DESC) as rank FROM src").collect
res7: Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] = Array([val_431,1], [val_431,1], [val_431,1], [val_431,1], [val_431,1], [val_431,1], [val_432,1], [val_432,1], [val_33,1], [val_33,1], [val_233,1], [val_233,1], [val_233,1], [val_233,1], [val_34,1], [val_34,1], [val_35,1], [val_35,1], [val_35,1], [val_35,1], [val_35,1], [val_35,1], [val_235,1], [val_235,1], [val_435,1], [val_435,1], [val_436,1], [val_436,1], [val_37,1], [val_37,1], [val_37,1], [val_37,1], [val_237,1], [val_237,1], [val_237,1], [val_237,1], [val_437,1], [val_437,1], [val_238,1], [val_238,1], [val_238,1], [val_238,1], [val_438,1], [val_438,1], [val_438,1], [val_438,1], [val_438,1], [val_438,1], [val_239,1], [val_239,1], [val_239,1], [val_239,1], [val_439,1], [val_439,1], [val_439,1], [val_439,1], [val_41,1], [val_41,1], [val_241,1], ...
SQLcontext can not:
1
2
3
4
scala> sqlContext.sql("SELECT value, dense_rank() OVER (PARTITION BY key ORDER BY value DESC) as rank FROM src").collect
java.lang.RuntimeException: [1.33] failure: ``union'' expected but `(' found
 
SELECT value, dense_rank() OVER (PARTITION BY key ORDER BY value DESC) as rank FROM src

Controlling Parallelism in Spark by controlling the input partitions by controlling the input partitions

Image
It is useful to be able to control the degree of parallelism when using Spark. Spark provides a very convenient method to increase the degree of parallelism which should be adequate in practice. This blog entry of the "Inside Spark" series describes the knobs Spark uses to control the degree of parallelism. Controlling the number of partitions in the " local " mode Spark is designed ground up to enable unit testing. To control the degree of parallelism in the local mode simply utilize the function JavaRDD<String> org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaSparkContext.parallelize(List<String> list, int numSlices) The following snippet of code demonstrates this usage- public class SparkControlPartitionSizeLocally { public static void main ( String [] args ) { JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext ( "local" , "localpartitionsizecontrol" ); String input = "four score and sev

One operation and maintenance 1. Master hang up, standby restart is also invalid Master defaults to 512M of memory, when the task in the cluster is particularly high, it will hang, because the master will read each task event log log to generate spark ui, the memory will naturally OOM, you can run the log See that the master of the start through the HA will naturally fail for this reason. solve Increase the Master's memory spark-env.sh , set in the master node spark-env.sh : export SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY 10g # 根据你的实际情况 Reduce the job information stored in the Master memory spark.ui.retainedJobs 500 # 默认都是1000 spark.ui.retainedStages 500 Hang up or suspend Sometimes we will see the web node in the web ui disappear or in the dead state, the task of running the node will report a variety of lost worker errors, causing the same reasons and the above, worker memory to save a lot of ui The information leads to gc when the heartbeat is lost
