This documentation covers requirements to run the demos, as well as instructions for different configuration and runtime options.
The Spark Cassandra Connector includes demos containing basic demos, as samples, in both Scala and Java.
- Read and write to/from Spark and Cassandra
- WordCount with Spark and Cassandra
- Copy a table to Cassandra
- Integrate Spark SQL with Cassandra
- Integrate Spark Streaming, Kafka and Cassandra
- Integrate Spark Streaming in Akka, Actor DStreams with Cassandra
Most of the above functionality is covered in the Java API demo samples.
Running a demo requires a local Cassandra instance to be running. This can be one node or a cluster.
If you don't already have it, download the latest Apache Cassandra binaries, un-tar, and start Cassandra by invoking:
$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cassandra -f'
All Scala demos create the Cassandra keyspaces and tables for you, however the Java demos do not. In order to run the Java Demos, you will need to create the following keyspace, table and secondary index in Cassandra via cqlsh:
CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH REPLICATION = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 1};
CREATE TABLE test.people (id INT, name TEXT, birth_date TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (id));
CREATE INDEX people_name_idx ON test.people(name);
The basic demos (WordCountDemo, BasicReadWriteDemo, SQLDemo, AkkaStreamingDemo, etc) set
spark.master as 127.0.0.1 or local[n], and spark.cassandra.connection.host as 127.0.0.1. Change this locally if desired.
The Kafka streaming demo sets spark.master as 127.0.0.1 or local[n], and spark.cassandra.connection.host as 127.0.0.1. Change this locally if desired.
To run any demo from an IDE, simply right click on a particular demo and 'run'. To run from SBT read on.
On the command line at the root of spark-cassandra-connector:
sbt simple-demos/run
Against Scala 2.11:
sbt -Dscala-2.11=true simple-demos/run
And then select which demo you want:
Multiple main classes detected, select one to run:
[1] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.AkkaStreamingDemo
[2] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.BasicReadWriteDemo
[3] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.JavaApiDemo
[4] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.SQLDemo
[5] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.TableCopyDemo
[6] com.datastax.spark.connector.demo.WordCountDemo
Spark does not support Kafka streaming or publish the spark-streaming-kafka
artifact in their Scala 2.11 build yet. Until then this is only available against Scala 2.10.
On the command line at the root of spark-cassandra-connector:
sbt kafka-streaming/run
Start a standalone master server by executing:
./sbin/start-master.sh
Once started, the master will print out a spark://HOST:PORT URL for itself, which you can use to connect workers to it, or pass as the "master" argument to SparkContext. You can also find this URL on the master's web UI, which is http://localhost:8080 by default.
Start one or more workers and connect them to the master via:
./bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://IP:PORT
Once you have started a worker, look at the master's web UI (http://localhost:8080 by default). You should see the new node listed there, along with its number of CPUs and memory (minus one gigabyte left for the OS).
