<h1 class="title">Spark Overview</h1>
<p>Spark is a MapReduce-like cluster computing framework designed for low-latency iterative jobs and interactive use from an interpreter.
It provides clean, language-integrated APIs in <a href="scala-programming-guide.html">Scala</a>, <a href="java-programming-guide.html">Java</a>, and <a href="python-programming-guide.html">Python</a>, with a rich array of parallel operators.
Spark can run on the Apache Mesos cluster manager, Hadoop YARN, Amazon EC2, or without an independent resource manager (&ldquo;standalone mode&rdquo;).</p>
<h1 id="downloading">Downloading</h1>
<p>Get Spark by visiting the <a href="http://spark-project.org/downloads.html">downloads page</a> of the Spark website. This documentation is for Spark version 0.7.2.</p>
<h1 id="building">Building</h1>
<p>Spark requires <a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/">Scala 2.9.3</a>. You will need to have Scala&rsquo;s <code>bin</code> directory in your <code>PATH</code>,
or you will need to set the <code>SCALA_HOME</code> environment variable to point
to where you&rsquo;ve installed Scala. Scala must also be accessible through one
of these methods on slave nodes on your cluster.</p>
<p>Spark uses <a href="http://www.scala-sbt.org">Simple Build Tool</a>, which is bundled with it. To compile the code, go into the top-level Spark directory and run</p>
<pre><code>sbt/sbt package
</code></pre>
<p>Spark also supports building using Maven. If you would like to build using Maven, see the <a href="building-with-maven.html">instructions for building Spark with Maven</a>.</p>
<h1 id="testing-the-build">Testing the Build</h1>
<p>Spark comes with a number of sample programs in the <code>examples</code> directory.
To run one of the samples, use <code>./run &lt;class&gt; &lt;params&gt;</code> in the top-level Spark directory
(the <code>run</code> script sets up the appropriate paths and launches that program).
For example, <code>./run spark.examples.SparkPi</code> will run a sample program that estimates Pi. Each of the
examples prints usage help if no params are given.</p>
<p>Note that all of the sample programs take a <code>&lt;master&gt;</code> parameter specifying the cluster URL
to connect to. This can be a <a href="scala-programming-guide.html#master-urls">URL for a distributed cluster</a>,
or <code>local</code> to run locally with one thread, or <code>local[N]</code> to run locally with N threads. You should start by using
<code>local</code> for testing.</p>
<p>Finally, Spark can be used interactively from a modified version of the Scala interpreter that you can start through
<code>./spark-shell</code>. This is a great way to learn Spark.</p>
<h1 id="a-note-about-hadoop-versions">A Note About Hadoop Versions</h1>
<p>Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported
storage systems. Because the HDFS protocol has changed in different versions of
Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.
You can change the version by setting the <code>HADOOP_VERSION</code> variable at the top
of <code>project/SparkBuild.scala</code>, then rebuilding Spark (<code>sbt/sbt clean compile</code>).</p>
