Advanced Data Science on Spark-(Reza Zadeh, Stanford)Spark Summit
The document provides an overview of Spark and its machine learning library MLlib. It discusses how Spark uses resilient distributed datasets (RDDs) to perform distributed computing tasks across clusters in a fault-tolerant manner. It summarizes the key capabilities of MLlib, including its support for common machine learning algorithms and how MLlib can be used together with other Spark components like Spark Streaming, GraphX, and SQL. The document also briefly discusses future directions for MLlib, such as tighter integration with DataFrames and new optimization methods.
Optimizations in Spark; RDD, DataFrameKnoldus Inc.
Developing Apache Spark Jobs is the easier part of the process but the difficult portion comes in while executing them under full load as each job is unique when it comes to performance. Spark programs often face bottlenecks in terms of CPU, network bandwidth, memory usage which stems from Spark’s basic nature of in-memory computations.
In this webinar, we will deal with the problem of how optimally you can perform your job operations in Apache Spark. We will address common performance problems including -
~ Inadequate transformations when working with RDD API as optimization is the developer’s responsibility, unlike in SQL querying language.
~ Proper partitioning of data so that Spark can perform tasks optimally
~ Why DataFrames have better performance than RDD?
Here’s the agenda of the webinar -
~ Spark Execution Model
~ Optimizing Shuffle Operations
~ Optimizing Functions
~ SQL VS RDD
~ Logical & Physical Plan
~ Optimizing Joins

Top 5 mistakes when writing Spark applicationshadooparchbook
This document discusses common mistakes people make when writing Spark applications and provides recommendations to address them. It covers issues related to executor configuration, application failures due to shuffle block sizes exceeding limits, slow jobs caused by data skew, and managing the DAG to avoid excessive shuffles and stages. Recommendations include using smaller executors, increasing the number of partitions, addressing skew through techniques like salting, and preferring ReduceByKey over GroupByKey and TreeReduce over Reduce to improve performance and resource usage.
Spark Streaming and IoT by Mike FreedmanSpark Summit
This document discusses using Spark Streaming for IoT applications and the challenges involved. It notes that while Spark simplifies programming across different processing intervals from batch to stream, programming models alone are not sufficient as IoT data streams can have varying rates and delays. It proposes a unified data infrastructure with abstractions like data series that support joining real-time and historical data while handling delays transparently. It also suggests approaches for Spark Streaming to better support processing many independent low-volume IoT streams concurrently and improving resource utilization for such applications. Finally, it introduces the Device-Model-Infra framework for addressing these IoT analytics challenges through combined programming models and data abstractions.

Extending Spark Streaming to Support Complex Event ProcessingOh Chan Kwon
In this talk, we introduce the extensions of Spark Streaming to support (1) SQL-based query processing and (2) elastic-seamless resource allocation. First, we explain the methods of supporting window queries and query chains. As we know, last year, Grace Huang and Jerry Shao introduced the concept of “StreamSQL” that can process streaming data with SQL-like queries by adapting SparkSQL to Spark Streaming. However, we made advances in supporting complex event processing (CEP) based on their efforts. In detail, we implemented the sliding window concept to support a time-based streaming data processing at the SQL level. Here, to reduce the aggregation time of large windows, we generate an efficient query plan that computes the partial results by evaluating only the data entering or leaving the window and then gets the current result by merging the previous one and the partial ones. Next, to support query chains, we made the result of a query over streaming data be a table by adding the “insert into” query. That is, it allows us to apply stream queries to the results of other ones. Second, we explain the methods of allocating resources to streaming applications dynamically, which enable the applications to meet a given deadline. As the rate of incoming events varies over time, resources allocated to applications need to be adjusted for high resource utilization. However, the current Spark's resource allocation features are not suitable for streaming applications. That is, the resources allocated will not be freed when new data are arriving continuously to the streaming applications even though the quantity of the new ones is very small. In order to resolve the problem, we consider their resource utilization. If the utilization is low, we choose victim nodes to be killed. Then, we do not feed new data into the victims to prevent a useless recovery issuing when they are killed. Accordingly, we can scale-in/-out the resources seamlessly.
The exponential growth of data is not a problem but processing/managing the huge diversity of data is a concern. In this session, we are gonna discuss about one of the most popular big data distributed processing framework "Spark" where we'll be developing API using "Scala", a gained prominence amid big data developers.

Building Intelligent Applications, Experimental ML with Uber’s Data Science W...Databricks
In this talk, we will explore how Uber enables rapid experimentation of machine learning models and optimization algorithms through the Uber’s Data Science Workbench (DSW). DSW covers a series of stages in data scientists’ workflow including data exploration, feature engineering, machine learning model training, testing and production deployment. DSW provides interactive notebooks for multiple languages with on-demand resource allocation and share their works through community features.
It also has support for notebooks and intelligent applications backed by spark job servers. Deep learning applications based on TensorFlow and Torch can be brought into DSW smoothly where resources management is taken care of by the system. The environment in DSW is customizable where users can bring their own libraries and frameworks. Moreover, DSW provides support for Shiny and Python dashboards as well as many other in-house visualization and mapping tools.
In the second part of this talk, we will explore the use cases where custom machine learning models developed in DSW are productionized within the platform. Uber applies Machine learning extensively to solve some hard problems. Some use cases include calculating the right prices for rides in over 600 cities and applying NLP technologies to customer feedbacks to offer safe rides and reduce support costs. We will look at various options evaluated for productionizing custom models (server based and serverless). We will also look at how DSW integrates into the larger Uber’s ML ecosystem, e.g. model/feature stores and other ML tools, to realize the vision of a complete ML platform for Uber.
Spark Tuning For Enterprise System Administrators, Spark Summit East 2016Anya Bida
by Anya Bida and Rachel Warren from Alpine Data
https://spark-summit.org/east-2016/events/spark-tuning-for-enterprise-system-administrators/
Spark offers the promise of speed, but many enterprises are reluctant to make the leap from Hadoop to Spark. Indeed, System Administrators will face many challenges with tuning Spark performance. This talk is a gentle introduction to Spark Tuning for the Enterprise System Administrator, based on experience assisting two enterprise companies running Spark in yarn-cluster mode. The initial challenges can be categorized in two FAQs. First, with so many Spark Tuning parameters, how do I know which parameters are important for which jobs? Second, once I know which Spark Tuning parameters I need, how do I enforce them for the various users submitting various jobs to my cluster? This introduction to Spark Tuning will enable enterprise system administrators to overcome common issues quickly and focus on more advanced Spark Tuning challenges. The audience will understand the “cheat-sheet” posted here: http://techsuppdiva.github.io/ Key takeaways: FAQ 1: With so many Spark Tuning parameters, how do I know which parameters are important for which jobs? Solution 1: The Spark Tuning cheat-sheet! A visualization that guides the System Administrator to quickly overcome the most common hurdles to algorithm deployment. [1]http://techsuppdiva.github.io/ FAQ 2: Once I know which Spark Tuning parameters I need, how do I enforce them at the user level? job level? algorithm level? project level? cluster level? Solution 2: We’ll approach these challenges using job & cluster configuration, the Spark context, and 3rd party tools – of which Alpine will be one example. We’ll operationalize Spark parameters according to user, job, algorithm, workflow pipeline, or cluster levels.

Spark-on-Yarn: The Road Ahead-(Marcelo Vanzin, Cloudera)Spark Summit
Spark on YARN provides resource management and security features through YARN, but still has areas for improvement. Dynamic allocation in YARN allows Spark applications to grow and shrink executors based on task demand, though latency and data locality could be enhanced. Security supports Kerberos authentication and delegation tokens, but long-lived applications face token expiration issues and encryption needs improvement for control plane, shuffle files, and user interfaces. Overall, usability, security, and performance remain areas of focus.
The document discusses lessons learned from building a real-time data processing platform using Spark and microservices. Key aspects include:
- A microservices-inspired architecture was used with Spark Streaming jobs processing data in parallel and communicating via Kafka.
- This modular approach allowed for independent development and deployment of new features without disrupting existing jobs.
- While Spark provided batch and streaming capabilities, managing resources across jobs and achieving low latency proved challenging.
- Alternative technologies like Kafka Streams and Confluent's Schema Registry were identified to improve resilience, schemas, and processing latency.
- Overall the platform demonstrated strengths in modularity, A/B testing, and empowering data scientists, but faced challenges around

Scalable Monitoring Using Prometheus with Apache Spark Clusters with Diane F...Databricks
As Apache Spark applications move to a containerized environment, there are many questions about how to best configure server systems in the container world. In this talk we will demonstrate a set of tools to better monitor performance and identify optimal configuration settings. We will demonstrate how Prometheus, a project that is now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF: https://www.cncf.io/projects/), can be applied to monitor and archive system performance data in a containerized spark environment.
In our examples, we will gather spark metric output through Prometheus and present the data with Grafana dashboards. We will use our examples to demonstrate how performance can be enhanced through different tuned configuration settings. Our demo will show how to configure settings across the cluster as well as within each node.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

3. Agenda
01 Why and What is Spark?
02 Working of Spark
03 Operations in Spark
04 Task and Stages
05 DataFrame & DataSets
06 Demo
5. Why Spark? (Distributed Computing)
Traditional Enterprise Approach :
- Splitting the data to different systems
- Coding is required in all systems
- No Fault Tolerance
- Aggregation of data
- System A is unaware of the data stored
in System B and vice versa.
6. What is Spark?
The official definition of Apache Spark says that
“Apache Spark™ is a unified analytics engine
for large-scale data processing.” It is an
in-memory computation processing engine
where the data is kept in random access
memory (RAM) instead of some slow disk drives
and is processed in parallel.
8. Working of Spark
val number = spark.sparkContext.textFile("path_to_File1.txt", 3)
val result = number.flatMap(_.split("t")).map(_.toInt).filter(x => x < 10)
RDD result = Find values smaller then 10 from number RDD
Master => Driver
Slave => Executor
9. RDD
Spark RDD is a resilient, partitioned, distributed and immutable collection of
data.
We can create an RDD using two methods:
- Load some data from a source.
- Create an RDD by transforming another RDD.
11. Working of Spark
val number = spark.sparkContext.textFile("path_to_File1.txt", 3)
val result = number.flatMap(_.split("t")).map(_.toInt).filter(x => x < 10)
B1 → B4 => 5,6
B2 → B5 => 9, 2
B3 → B6 => 1, 5
B4, B5, B6 => Result RDD
12. Lineage
- When a new RDD is derived from an existing RDD, that new
RDD contains a pointer to the parent RDD and Spark
keeps track of all the dependencies between these RDDs
using a component called the Lineage.
- In case of data loss, this lineage is used to rebuild the
data.
- The SparkContext (Driver) maintains the Lineage.
- It is also known as Dependency Graph.
13. Operations in Spark
- Transformation:
- Creation of new RDD from existing RDD.
- Action:
- This leads to creation of non-RDD result and
gives result to User, i.e. it creates results in some
form of Java Collection.
val number = spark.sparkContext.textFile("path_to_File1.txt", 3)
val result = number.flatMap(_.split("t")).map(_.toInt).filter(x =>
x < 10)
result.collect() → Action
15. Working of Spark (Lazy Evaluation)
Till the time we do not hit an Action, none of the above operations
(transformations) will take place.
- RDDs are lazily evaluated.
- RDDs are immutable.
- The values of action are stored to drivers or to the external storage
system.
- It brings laziness of RDD into motion.
- An action is one of the ways of sending data from Executer to the Driver.
- Action kick offs a job to execute on a cluster.
20. ● Two kinds of operations:
1. Transformation
2. Action
● Dependency are divided into two types:
1. Narrow Dependency
2. Wide Dependency
● Stages
Spark Execution Model
26. Problem with RDD
- Focus on “How To” rather then “What To”.
- Not much optimized by Spark. Optimizing RDD is developer’s
responsibility.
- RDDs are low-level API.
- Inadveradent ineffecieincies.
