Machine Learning Part 6

In this this blog we will see -

  • Spark Graph Frames
  • Use of Graph Frames in Machine Learning to execute algorithms like - Page Rank
A graph is made up of vertices and edges that connect them.
  • 1.      Vertices are Objects
  • 2.      Edges are relationships

A regular graph is a graph where each vertex has the same number of edges.
A directed graph is a graph where the edges have a direction associated with them.
Example –
  • 1.      Facebook friends – A is friend of B, and so is B friend of A.
  • 2.      Instagram followers- A, B, C are followers of D. But, D may not be follower of either A, B, or C
  • 3.      Websites – Every page is a node and every linking page is an edge. Page rank Algorithm measures the importance of a page by number of links to a page and number of links to each linking page.
  • 4.      Recommendation Engines - Recommendation algorithms can use graphs where the nodes are the users and products, and their respective attributes and the edges are the ratings or purchases of the products by users. Graph algorithms can calculate weights for how similar users rated or purchased similar products.
  • 5.      Fraud - Graphs are useful for fraud detection algorithms in banking, healthcare, and network security. Example – Connection between Doctor, patient and pharmacy


We will explore the same flight dataset, as used in @http://querydb.blogspot.com/2019/12/machine-learning-part-2.html with Graph Frames


Sparks GrpahX api is an implementation of Google's Pregel which was a paper published in 2010 - http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~dell/teaching/cc/paper/sigmod10/p135-malewicz.pdf

Its an iterative processing model, GraphFrames aggregateMessages, sends messages between vertices and aggregates message values from the neighboring edges and vertices of each vertex.



In the example, we see how to use aggregated messages.

Spark MongoDB Connector Not leading to correct count or data while reading

  We are using Scala 2.11 , Spark 2.4 and Spark MongoDB Connector 2.4.4 Use Case 1 - We wanted to read a Shareded Mongo Collection and copy its data to another Mongo Collection. We noticed that after Spark Job successful completion. Output MongoDB did not had many records. Use Case 2 -  We read a MongoDB collection and doing count on dataframe lead to different count on each execution. Analysis,  We realized that MongoDB Spark Connector is missing data on bulk read as a dataframe. We tried various partitioner, listed on page -  https://www.mongodb.com/docs/spark-connector/v2.4/configuration/  But, none of them worked for us. Finally, we tried  MongoShardedPartitioner  this lead to constant count on each execution. But, it was greater than the actual count of records on the collection. This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector. But,  MongoShardedPartitioner  seemed closest possible solution to this kind of situation. But, it per...

MongoDB Chunk size many times bigger than configure chunksize (128 MB)

  Shard Shard_0 at Shard_0/xyz.com:27018 { data: '202.04GiB', docs: 117037098, chunks: 5, 'estimated data per chunk': '40.4GiB', 'estimated docs per chunk': 23407419 } --- Shard Shard_1 at Shard_1/abc.com:27018 { data: '201.86GiB', docs: 116913342, chunks: 4, 'estimated data per chunk': '50.46GiB', 'estimated docs per chunk': 29228335 } Per MongoDB-  Starting in 6.0.3, we balance by data size instead of the number of chunks. So the 128MB is now only the size of data we migrate at-a-time. So large data size per chunk is good now, as long as the data size per shard is even for the collection. refer -  https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/chunk-size-many-times-bigger-than-configure-chunksize-128-mb/212616 https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v6.0/release-notes/6.0/#std-label-release-notes-6.0-balancing-policy-changes




AWS EMR Spark – Much Larger Executors are Created than Requested

  Starting EMR 5.32 and EMR 6.2 you can notice that Spark can launch much larger executors that you request in your job settings. For example - We started a Spark Job with  spark.executor.cores  =   4 But, one can see that the executors with 20 cores (instead of 4 as defined by spark.executor.cores) were launched. The reason for allocating larger executors is that there is a AWS specific Spark option spark.yarn.heterogeneousExecutors.enabled (exists in EMR only, does not exist in Open Source Spark) that is set to true by default that combines multiple executor creation requests on the same node into a larger executor container. So as the result you have fewer executor containers than you expected, each of them has more memory and cores that you specified. If you disable this option (--conf "spark.yarn.heterogeneousExecutors.enabled=false"), EMR will create containers with the specified spark.executor.memory and spark.executor.cores settings and will not co...




Hive Count Query not working

Hive with Tez execution engine -  count(*) not working , returning 0 results.  Solution -  set hive.compute.query.using.stats=false Refer -  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties hive.compute.query.using.stats Default Value:  false Added In: Hive 0.13.0 with  HIVE-5483 When set to true Hive will answer a few queries like min, max, and count(1) purely using statistics stored in the metastore. For basic statistics collection, set the configuration property  hive.stats.autogather   to true. For more advanced statistics collection, run ANALYZE TABLE queries.
