broadcast

官方文档描述:

Broadcast a read-only variable to the cluster, returning a 
[[org.apache.spark.broadcast.Broadcast]] object for reading it in distributed functions.
The variable will be sent to each cluster only once.

函数原型:

def broadcast[T](value: T): Broadcast[T]

广播变量允许程序员将一个只读的变量缓存在每台机器上,而不用在任务之间传递变量。广播变量可被用于有效地给每个节点一个大输入数据集的副本。Spark还尝试使用高效地广播算法来分发变量,进而减少通信的开销。 Spark的动作通过一系列的步骤执行,这些步骤由分布式的洗牌操作分开。Spark自动地广播每个步骤每个任务需要的通用数据。这些广播数据被序列化地缓存,在运行任务之前被反序列化出来。这意味着当我们需要在多个阶段的任务之间使用相同的数据,或者以反序列化形式缓存数据是十分重要的时候,显式地创建广播变量才有用。

源码分析:

def broadcast[T: ClassTag](value: T): Broadcast[T] = {  
  assertNotStopped()  
  if (classOf[RDD[_]].isAssignableFrom(classTag[T].runtimeClass)) {    
    // This is a warning instead of an exception in order to avoid breaking user programs that    
    // might have created RDD broadcast variables but not used them:    
    logWarning("Can not directly broadcast RDDs; instead, call collect() and "      
      + "broadcast the result (see SPARK-5063)")  
  }  
  val bc = env.broadcastManager.newBroadcast[T](value, isLocal)  
  val callSite = getCallSite  
  logInfo("Created broadcast " + bc.id + " from " + callSite.shortForm)  
  cleaner.foreach(_.registerBroadcastForCleanup(bc))  
  bc
}

实例:

List<Integer> data = Arrays.asList(5, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 2);
JavaRDD<Integer> javaRDD = javaSparkContext.parallelize(data,5);
final Broadcast<List<Integer>> broadcast = javaSparkContext.broadcast(data);
JavaRDD<Integer> result = javaRDD.map(new Function<Integer, Integer>() {    
  List<Integer> iList = broadcast.value();    
  @Override    
  public Integer call(Integer v1) throws Exception {        
    Integer isum = 0;        
    for(Integer i : iList)            
      isum += i;        
    return v1 + isum;    
  }
});
System.out.println(result.collect());

accumulator

官方文档描述:

  Create an [[org.apache.spark.Accumulator]] variable of a given type, which tasks can “add” 
  values to using the add method. Only the master can access the accumulator’s value.

函数原型:

def accumulator[T](initialValue: T, accumulatorParam: AccumulatorParam[T]): Accumulator[T]
def accumulator[T](initialValue: T, name: String, accumulatorParam: AccumulatorParam[T])   
   : Accumulator[T]

累加器是仅仅被相关操作累加的变量,因此可以在并行中被有效地支持。它可以被用来实现计数器和sum。Spark原生地只支持数字类型的累加器,开发者可以添加新类型的支持。如果创建累加器时指定了名字,可以在Spark的UI界面看到。这有利于理解每个执行阶段的进程(对于Python还不支持) 。 
累加器通过对一个初始化了的变量v调用SparkContext.accumulator(v)来创建。在集群上运行的任务可以通过add或者”+=”方法在累加器上进行累加操作。但是,它们不能读取它的值。只有驱动程序能够读取它的值,通过累加器的value方法。

源码分析:

def accumulator[T](initialValue: T, name: String)(implicit param: AccumulatorParam[T])  
  : Accumulator[T] = {  
  val acc = new Accumulator(initialValue, param, Some(name))  
  cleaner.foreach(_.registerAccumulatorForCleanup(acc))  
  acc
}

实例:

class VectorAccumulatorParam implements AccumulatorParam<Vector> {    
  @Override    
  //合并两个累加器的值。
  //参数r1是一个累加数据集合
  //参数r2是另一个累加数据集合
  public Vector addInPlace(Vector r1, Vector r2) {
    r1.addAll(r2);
    return r1;    
  }    
  @Override 
  //初始值   
  public Vector zero(Vector initialValue) {        
     return initialValue;    
  }    
  @Override
  //添加额外的数据到累加值中
  //参数t1是当前累加器的值
  //参数t2是被添加到累加器的值    
  public Vector addAccumulator(Vector t1, Vector t2) {        
      t1.addAll(t2);        
      return t1;    
  }
}
List<Integer> data = Arrays.asList(5, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 2);
JavaRDD<Integer> javaRDD = javaSparkContext.parallelize(data,5);

final Accumulator<Integer> accumulator = javaSparkContext.accumulator(0);
Vector initialValue = new Vector();
for(int i=6;i<9;i++)    
  initialValue.add(i);
//自定义累加器
final Accumulator accumulator1 = javaSparkContext.accumulator(initialValue,new VectorAccumulatorParam());
JavaRDD<Integer> result = javaRDD.map(new Function<Integer, Integer>() {    
  @Override    
  public Integer call(Integer v1) throws Exception {        
    accumulator.add(1);        
    Vector term = new Vector();        
    term.add(v1);        
    accumulator1.add(term);        
    return v1;    
  }
});
System.out.println(result.collect());
System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" + accumulator.value());
System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" + accumulator1.value());
