Examples for High Performance Spark
We are in the progress of updata this for Spark 3.5+ and the 2ed edition of our book!
Most of the examples can be built with sbt, the C and Fortran components depend on gcc, g77, and cmake.
The full test suite depends on having the C and Fortran components built as well as a local R installation available.
The most "accuate" way of seeing how we run the tests is to look at the .github workflows
The history server can be a great way to figure out what's going on.
By default the history server writes to /tmp/spark-events so you'll need to create that directory if not setup with
mkdir -p /tmp/spark-events
The scripts for running the examples generally run with the event log enabled.
You can set the SPARK_EVENTLOG=true before running the scala tests and you'll get the history server too!
e.g.
SPARK_EVENTLOG=true sbt test
If you want to run just a specific test you can run testOnly
Then to view the history server you'll want to launch it using the ${SPARK_HOME}/sbin/start-history-server.sh then you can go to your local history server
