SparkContext (Spark 3.4.2 JavaDoc)

Object
- org.apache.spark.SparkContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.spark.internal.Logging
```
public class SparkContext
extends Object
implements org.apache.spark.internal.Logging
```
Main entry point for Spark functionality. A SparkContext represents the connection to a Spark cluster, and can be used to create RDDs, accumulators and broadcast variables on that cluster.

Note:

Only one SparkContext should be active per JVM. You must stop() the active SparkContext before creating a new one. param: config a Spark Config object describing the application configuration. Any settings in this config overrides the default configs as well as system properties.

- Method Detail
 - getOrCreate
```
public static SparkContext getOrCreate(SparkConf config)
```
 This function may be used to get or instantiate a SparkContext and register it as a singleton object. Because we can only have one active SparkContext per JVM, this is useful when applications may wish to share a SparkContext.

 config - SparkConfig that will be used for initialisation of the SparkContext
 
 Returns:
 
 current SparkContext (or a new one if it wasn't created before the function call)
 - getOrCreate
```
public static SparkContext getOrCreate()
```
 This function may be used to get or instantiate a SparkContext and register it as a singleton object. Because we can only have one active SparkContext per JVM, this is useful when applications may wish to share a SparkContext.
 This method allows not passing a SparkConf (useful if just retrieving).
 
 Returns:
 
 current SparkContext (or a new one if wasn't created before the function call)

```
 A default Hadoop Configuration for the Hadoop code (e.g. file systems) that we reuse.
 
 Returns:
 
 (undocumented)
 
 Note:
 
 As it will be reused in all Hadoop RDDs, it's better not to modify it unless you plan to set some global configurations for all Hadoop RDDs.
 - sparkUser
```
public String sparkUser()
```
 - applicationId
```
public String applicationId()
```
 A unique identifier for the Spark application. Its format depends on the scheduler implementation. (i.e. in case of local spark app something like 'local-1433865536131' in case of YARN something like 'application_1433865536131_34483' in case of MESOS something like 'driver-20170926223339-0001' )

public scala.Option<String> applicationAttemptId()
```
 - setLogLevel
```
public void setLogLevel(String logLevel)
```
 Control our logLevel. This overrides any user-defined log settings.
 
 Parameters:
 
 logLevel - The desired log level as a string. Valid log levels include: ALL, DEBUG, ERROR, FATAL, INFO, OFF, TRACE, WARN
 - setLocalProperty
```
public void setLocalProperty(String key,
 String value)
```
 Set a local property that affects jobs submitted from this thread, such as the Spark fair scheduler pool. User-defined properties may also be set here. These properties are propagated through to worker tasks and can be accessed there via TaskContext.getLocalProperty(java.lang.String).
 These properties are inherited by child threads spawned from this thread. This may have unexpected consequences when working with thread pools. The standard java implementation of thread pools have worker threads spawn other worker threads. As a result, local properties may propagate unpredictably.
 
 Parameters:
 
 key - (undocumented)
 
 value - (undocumented)
 - getLocalProperty
```
public String getLocalProperty(String key)
```
 Get a local property set in this thread, or null if it is missing. See org.apache.spark.SparkContext.setLocalProperty.
 
 Parameters:
 
 key - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 
 (undocumented)
 - setJobDescription
```
public void setJobDescription(String value)
```
 Set a human readable description of the current job.
 - setJobGroup
```
public void setJobGroup(String groupId,
 String description,
 boolean interruptOnCancel)
```
 Assigns a group ID to all the jobs started by this thread until the group ID is set to a different value or cleared.
 Often, a unit of execution in an application consists of multiple Spark actions or jobs. Application programmers can use this method to group all those jobs together and give a group description. Once set, the Spark web UI will associate such jobs with this group.
 The application can also use org.apache.spark.SparkContext.cancelJobGroup to cancel all running jobs in this group. For example,
```
 // In the main thread:
 sc.setJobGroup("some_job_to_cancel", "some job description")
 sc.parallelize(1 to 10000, 2).map { i => Thread.sleep(10); i }.count()

 // In a separate thread:
 sc.cancelJobGroup("some_job_to_cancel")
 
```
 Parameters:
 
 interruptOnCancel - If true, then job cancellation will result in Thread.interrupt() being called on the job's executor threads. This is useful to help ensure that the tasks are actually stopped in a timely manner, but is off by default due to HDFS-1208, where HDFS may respond to Thread.interrupt() by marking nodes as dead.
 
 groupId - (undocumented)
 
 description - (undocumented)
 - clearJobGroup
```
public void clearJobGroup()
```
 Clear the current thread's job group ID and its description.
 - parallelize
```
public <T> RDD<T> parallelize(scala.collection.Seq<T> seq,
 int numSlices,
 scala.reflect.ClassTag<T> evidence$1)
```
 Distribute a local Scala collection to form an RDD.
 
 Parameters:
 
 seq - Scala collection to distribute
 
 numSlices - number of partitions to divide the collection into
 
 evidence$1 - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD representing distributed collection
 
 Note:
 
 Parallelize acts lazily. If seq is a mutable collection and is altered after the call to parallelize and before the first action on the RDD, the resultant RDD will reflect the modified collection. Pass a copy of the argument to avoid this., avoid using parallelize(Seq()) to create an empty RDD. Consider emptyRDD for an RDD with no partitions, or parallelize(Seq[T]()) for an RDD of T with empty partitions.
 - range
```
public RDD<Object> range(long start,
 long end,
 long step,
 int numSlices)
```
 Creates a new RDD[Long] containing elements from start to end(exclusive), increased by step every element.
 
 Parameters:
 
 start - the start value.
 
 end - the end value.
 
 step - the incremental step
 
 numSlices - number of partitions to divide the collection into
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD representing distributed range
 
 Note:
 
 if we need to cache this RDD, we should make sure each partition does not exceed limit.
 - makeRDD
```
public <T> RDD<T> makeRDD(scala.collection.Seq<T> seq,
 int numSlices,
 scala.reflect.ClassTag<T> evidence$2)
```

 evidence$3 - (undocumented)
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD representing data partitioned according to location preferences

```
public RDD<String> textFile(String path,
 int minPartitions)
```
 Read a text file from HDFS, a local file system (available on all nodes), or any Hadoop-supported file system URI, and return it as an RDD of Strings. The text files must be encoded as UTF-8.
 
 Parameters:
 
 path - path to the text file on a supported file system

```
public RDD<scala.Tuple2<String,String>> wholeTextFiles(String path,
 int minPartitions)
```
 Read a directory of text files from HDFS, a local file system (available on all nodes), or any Hadoop-supported file system URI. Each file is read as a single record and returned in a key-value pair, where the key is the path of each file, the value is the content of each file. The text files must be encoded as UTF-8.
 
 For example, if you have the following files:
```
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00000
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00001
 ...
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn
 
```
 Do val rdd = sparkContext.wholeTextFile("hdfs://a-hdfs-path"),
 
 then rdd contains
```
 (a-hdfs-path/part-00000, its content)
 (a-hdfs-path/part-00001, its content)
 ...
 (a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn, its content)
 
```
 Parameters:
 
 path - Directory to the input data files, the path can be comma separated paths as the list of inputs.
 
 minPartitions - A suggestion value of the minimal splitting number for input data.
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD representing tuples of file path and the corresponding file content
 
 Note:
 
 Small files are preferred, large file is also allowable, but may cause bad performance., On some filesystems, .../path/* can be a more efficient way to read all files in a directory rather than .../path/ or .../path, Partitioning is determined by data locality. This may result in too few partitions by default.
 - binaryFiles
```
public RDD<scala.Tuple2<String,PortableDataStream>> binaryFiles(String path,
 int minPartitions)
```
 Get an RDD for a Hadoop-readable dataset as PortableDataStream for each file (useful for binary data)
 For example, if you have the following files:
```
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00000
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-00001
 ...
 hdfs://a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn
 
```
 Do val rdd = sparkContext.binaryFiles("hdfs://a-hdfs-path"),
 then rdd contains
```
 (a-hdfs-path/part-00000, its content)
 (a-hdfs-path/part-00001, its content)
 ...
 (a-hdfs-path/part-nnnnn, its content)
 
```
 Parameters:
 
 path - Directory to the input data files, the path can be comma separated paths as the list of inputs.
 
 minPartitions - A suggestion value of the minimal splitting number for input data.
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD representing tuples of file path and corresponding file content
 
 Note:
 
 Small files are preferred; very large files may cause bad performance., On some filesystems, .../path/* can be a more efficient way to read all files in a directory rather than .../path/ or .../path, Partitioning is determined by data locality. This may result in too few partitions by default.
 - binaryRecords
```
public RDD<byte[]> binaryRecords(String path,
 int recordLength,
 org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration conf)
```
 Load data from a flat binary file, assuming the length of each record is constant.
 
 Parameters:
 
 path - Directory to the input data files, the path can be comma separated paths as the list of inputs.
 
 recordLength - The length at which to split the records
 
 conf - Configuration for setting up the dataset.
 
 Returns:
 
 An RDD of data with values, represented as byte arrays
 
 Note:
 
 We ensure that the byte array for each record in the resulting RDD has the provided record length.
 - hadoopRDD
```
public <K,V> RDD<scala.Tuple2<K,V>> hadoopRDD(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf conf,
 Class<? extends org.apache.hadoop.mapred.InputFormat<K,V>> inputFormatClass,
 Class<K> keyClass,
 Class<V> valueClass,
 int minPartitions)
```
 Get an RDD for a Hadoop-readable dataset from a Hadoop JobConf given its InputFormat and other necessary info (e.g. file name for a filesystem-based dataset, table name for HyperTable), using the older MapReduce API (org.apache.hadoop.mapred).
 
 Parameters:
 
 conf - JobConf for setting up the dataset. Note: This will be put into a Broadcast. Therefore if you plan to reuse this conf to create multiple RDDs, you need to make sure you won't modify the conf. A safe approach is always creating a new conf for a new RDD.
 
 inputFormatClass - storage format of the data to be read
 
 keyClass - Class of the key associated with the inputFormatClass parameter
 
 valueClass - Class of the value associated with the inputFormatClass parameter
 
 minPartitions - Minimum number of Hadoop Splits to generate.
 
 Returns:
 
 RDD of tuples of key and corresponding value
 
 Note:
 
 Because Hadoop's RecordReader class re-uses the same Writable object for each record, directly caching the returned RDD or directly passing it to an aggregation or shuffle operation will create many references to the same object. If you plan to directly cache, sort, or aggregate Hadoop writable objects, you should first copy them using a map function.

 scala.Function0<org.apache.spark.WritableConverter<K>> kcf,
 scala.Function0<org.apache.spark.WritableConverter<V>> vcf)
```
 Version of sequenceFile() for types implicitly convertible to Writables through a WritableConverter. For example, to access a SequenceFile where the keys are Text and the values are IntWritable, you could simply write
```
 sparkContext.sequenceFile[String, Int](path, ...)
 
```
 WritableConverters are provided in a somewhat strange way (by an implicit function) to support both subclasses of Writable and types for which we define a converter (e.g. Int to IntWritable). The most natural thing would've been to have implicit objects for the converters, but then we couldn't have an object for every subclass of Writable (you can't have a parameterized singleton object). We use functions instead to create a new converter for the appropriate type. In addition, we pass the converter a ClassTag of its type to allow it to figure out the Writable class to use in the subclass case.
 Parameters:
 
 path - directory to the input data files, the path can be comma separated paths as a list of inputs
 
 minPartitions - suggested minimum number of partitions for the resulting RDD
 
 km - (undocumented)
 
 vm - (undocumented)

 Load an RDD saved as a SequenceFile containing serialized objects, with NullWritable keys and BytesWritable values that contain a serialized partition. This is still an experimental storage format and may not be supported exactly as is in future Spark releases. It will also be pretty slow if you use the default serializer (Java serialization), though the nice thing about it is that there's very little effort required to save arbitrary objects.

```
public void stop()
```
 Shut down the SparkContext.
 - stop
```
public void stop(int exitCode)
```
 Shut down the SparkContext with exit code that will passed to scheduler backend. In client mode, client side may call SparkContext.stop() to clean up but exit with code not equal to 0. This behavior cause resource scheduler such as ApplicationMaster exit with success status but client side exited with failed status. Spark can call this method to stop SparkContext and pass client side correct exit code to scheduler backend. Then scheduler backend should send the exit code to corresponding resource scheduler to keep consistent.
 
 Parameters:
 
 exitCode - Specified exit code that will passed to scheduler backend in client mode.

 - cancelStage
```
public void cancelStage(int stageId,
 String reason)
```
 Cancel a given stage and all jobs associated with it.
 
 Parameters:
 
 stageId - the stage ID to cancel
 
 reason - reason for cancellation
 
 Note:
 
 Throws InterruptedException if the cancel message cannot be sent
 - cancelStage
```
public void cancelStage(int stageId)
```
 Cancel a given stage and all jobs associated with it.
 
 Parameters:
 
 stageId - the stage ID to cancel

 - killTaskAttempt
```
public boolean killTaskAttempt(long taskId,
 boolean interruptThread,
 String reason)
```
 Kill and reschedule the given task attempt. Task ids can be obtained from the Spark UI or through SparkListener.onTaskStart.
 
 Parameters:
 
 taskId - the task ID to kill. This id uniquely identifies the task attempt.
 
 interruptThread - whether to interrupt the thread running the task.
 
 reason - the reason for killing the task, which should be a short string. If a task is killed multiple times with different reasons, only one reason will be reported.
 
 Returns:
 
 Whether the task was successfully killed.
 - setCheckpointDir
```
public void setCheckpointDir(String directory)
```
 Set the directory under which RDDs are going to be checkpointed.

 directory - path to the directory where checkpoint files will be stored (must be HDFS path if running in cluster)
 - getCheckpointDir
```
public scala.Option<String> getCheckpointDir()
```
 - defaultParallelism
```
public int defaultParallelism()
```
 Default level of parallelism to use when not given by user (e.g. parallelize and makeRDD).
 - defaultMinPartitions
```
public int defaultMinPartitions()
```
 Default min number of partitions for Hadoop RDDs when not given by user Notice that we use math.min so the "defaultMinPartitions" cannot be higher than 2. The reasons for this are discussed in https://github.com/mesos/spark/pull/718
