问题
I'm connected to the cluster using ssh
and I send the program to the cluster using
spark-submit --master yarn myProgram.py
I want to save the result in a text file and I tried using the following lines:
counts.write.json("hdfs://home/myDir/text_file.txt")
counts.write.csv("hdfs://home/myDir/text_file.csv")
However, none of them work. The program finishes and I cannot find the text file in myDir
. Do you have any idea how can I do this?
Also, is there a way to write directly to my local machine?
EDIT: I found out that home
directory doesn't exist so now I save the result as:
counts.write.json("hdfs:///user/username/text_file.txt")
But this creates a directory named text_file.txt
and inside I have a lot of files with partial results inside. But I want one file with the final result inside. Any ideas how I can do this ?
回答1:
Spark will save the results in multiple files since the computation is distributed. Therefore writing:
counts.write.csv("hdfs://home/myDir/text_file.csv")
means to save the data on each partition as a separate file in the folder text_file.csv
. If you want the data saved as a single file, use coalesce(1)
first:
counts.coalesce(1).write.csv("hdfs://home/myDir/text_file.csv")
This will put all the data into a single partition and the number of saved files will thus be 1. However, this could be a bad idea if you have a lot of data. If the data is very small then using collect()
is an alternative. This will put all data onto the driver machine as an array, which can then be saved as a single file.
回答2:
You can concatenate your results into one file from the command line:
hadoop fs -cat hdfs:///user/username/text_file.txt/* > path/to/local/file.txt
This should be faster than using coalesce
- in my experience all collect()
type operations are slow because all of the data is funneled through the master node. Furthermore, you can run into troubles with collect()
if your data exceeds the memory on your master node.
However, a potential pitfall with this approach is that you will have to explicitly remove the files from a previous run (since the current run may not produce exactly the same number of files). There may be a flag to do this with each run, but I am not sure.
To remove:
hadoop fs -rm -r hdfs:///user/username/text_file.txt/*

Do you get any error? Maybe you can check if you have the correct permissions to write/read from that folder.
Also think that Spark by default will create a folder called text_file.txt with some files inside, depending on the number of partitions that you have.
If you want to write in your local machine you can specify the path with file:///home/myDir/text_file.txt
. If you use a path like /user/hdfs/...
by default is wrote in HDFS
回答4:
To have a unique file (not named as you want) you need .repartition(1)
,look here, piped to your RDD.
I suppose that your hdfs path is wrong. In Spark HDFS for text file is the default and in Hadoop (by default) there is not a home dir in root dir, unless you have created it before.
If you want a csv/txt file (with this extention) the only way to write it, is without RDD or DF functions, but using the usual libraries of python csv and io, after you have collected, with .collect()
, your RDD in a martix (dataset has not be huge).
If you want to write directly on your filesystem (and not on HDFS) use
counts.write.csv("file:///home/myDir/text_file.csv")
But this won't write a single file with csv extension. It will create a folder with the part-m-0000n of the n partitions of your dataset.
