/    /  Spark – Installation

Spark Installation:

For installing Spark, we just need to download a stable release of the Spark from the official Spark downloads page and unpack the tarball in a suitable location.

% tar xzf spark-x.y.z-bin-abc.tgz

It’s convenient to put the Spark binaries on your path as follows:

% export SPARK_HOME=~/sw/spark-x.y.z-bin-abc

% export PATH=$PATH:$SPARK_HOME/bin

You use the commands spark-shell.cmd and pyspark.cmd to run Spark Shell using Scala and Python respectively.

 We can start spark-shell like

hdadmin@ubuntu:~$ cd spark-2.0.1-bin-hadoop2.4/

hdadmin@ubuntu:~/spark-2.0.1-bin-hadoop2.4$ bin/spark-shell

Using Spark's default log4j profile: org/apache/spark/log4j-defaults.properties

Setting default log level to "WARN".

To adjust logging level use sc.setLogLevel(newLevel).
