I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove and I’m not particularly interested in getting into a protracted discussion. Here is what you wrote: The architecture of Spark is to run on top of HDFS. I interpreted that as a statement implying that Spark has to run on HDFS which is definitely not

Hi Annabel I certainly did read your post. My point was that Spark can read from HDFS but is in no way tied to that storage layer . A very interesting use case that sounds very similar to Jia's (as mentioned by another poster) is contained in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10399. T

Thanks, Annabel, but I may need to clarify that I have no intention to write and run Spark UDF in C++, I'm just wondering whether Spark can read and write data to a C++ process with zero copy. Best Regards, Jia On Dec 7, 2015, at 12:26 PM, Annabel Melongo wrote: > My guess is that Jia want

My guess is that Jia wants to run C++ on top of Spark. If that's the case, I'm afraid this is not possible. Spark has support for Java, Python, Scala and R. The best way to achieve this is to run your application in C++ and used the data created by said application to do manipulation within Spark

Thanks, Dewful! My impression is that Tachyon is a very nice in-memory file system that can connect to multiple storages. However, because our data is also hold in memory, I suspect that connecting to Spark directly may be more efficient in performance. But definitely I need to look at Tachyon m

Hi, Robin, Thanks for your reply and thanks for copying my question to user mailing list. Yes, we have a distributed C++ application, that will store data on each node in the cluster, and we hope to leverage Spark to do more fancy analytics on those data. But we need high performance, that’s why

-dev, +user (this is not a question about development of Spark itself so you’ll get more answers in the user mailing list) First up let me say that I don’t really know how this could be done - I’m sure it would be possible with enough tinkering but it’s not clear what you are trying to achieve.

Shared memory between C++ process and Spark

2015-12-06 Thread Jia
Dears, for one project, I need to implement something so Spark can read data from a C++ process. To provide high performance, I really hope to implement this through shared memory between the C++ process and Java JVM process. It seems it may be possible to use named memory mapped files and JNI t
