Select an input file for the Spark WordCount example. You can use any text file as input.

Upload the input file to HDFS. The following example uses log4j.properties as the input file:

su hdfs

cd /usr/hdp/current/spark-client/

hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /etc/hadoop/conf/log4j.properties /tmp/data

Run the Spark shell:

./bin/spark-shell --master yarn-client --driver-memory 512m --executor-memory 512m

You should see output similar to the following:

Submit the job. At the scala prompt, type the following commands, replacing node names, file name and file location with your own values:

val file = sc.textFile("/tmp/data")

val counts = file.flatMap(line => line.split(" ")).map(word => (word, 1)).reduceByKey(_ +_)

counts.saveAsTextFile("/tmp/wordcount")

To view the output from within the scala shell:

counts.toArray().foreach(println)
