Re: Java 8 vs Scala

If you takes time to actually learn Scala starting from its fundamental
concepts AND quite importantly get familiar with general  functional
programming concepts, you'd immediately realize the things that you'd
really miss going back to Java (8).

IMHO only Scala is an option. Once you're familiar with it you just cant
even look at java code.

I struggle lots in Scala , almost 10 days n0 improvement , but when i switch to 
Java 8 , things are so smooth , and I used Data Frame with Redshift and Hive 
all are looking good .if you are very good In Scala the go with Scala otherwise 
Java is best fit  .
This is just my openion because I am Java guy.

Re: Java 8 vs Scala

2015-07-15 Thread Gourav Sengupta
Why would you create a class and then instantiate it to store data and
change the class every time you have to add a new element? In OOPS
terminology a class represents an object, and an object has states - does
it not?

Purely from a data warehousing perspective - one of the fundamental
principles in delivering a DW system is to ensure a Single Version of Truth
and that is what a Functional way of thinking naturally supports.

We can say by extension that data analytics algorithms are quite in tune
with functional way of thinking and therefore Scala, whereas object
oriented way of thinking needs to adapt itself to be functional. Of course
we can use OOPS concept for delivering data solutions just like we can
implement OOPS concept in C.

Java is good for solving certain things which require OOPS rigor and Scala
mostly in problems that can use functional way of problem solving - purely
from a data processing perspective.

Those who are using performance timings to compare these two languages
should start coding in Machine Level Language and then see the performance
gains in terms of Java and MLL and should switch over to MLL. Of course MLL
is a bit more verbose than Java just as Java is a bit more verbose than
Scala and Python - but who's complaining.

Of course, these are my personal thoughts and I may be completely wrong and
will be grateful if someone could illustrate how.

Gourav

Re: Java 8 vs Scala

We have a complex application that runs productively for couple of 
months and heavily uses spark in scala.


Just to give you some insight on complexity - we do not have such a huge 
source data (only about 500'000 complex elements), but we have more than 
a billion transformations and intermediate data elements we do with our 
machine learning algorithms.
Our current spark/mesos cluster consists of 120 CPUs, 190 GB RAM and 
plenty of HDD space.


Now regarding your question:

- scala is just a beautiful language itself, it has nothing to do with 
spark;


- spark api fits very naturally into scala semantics because of the 
map/reduce transformations are written more or less identicaly for local 
collections and RDDs;


- as with any religious topic, there is controverse discussion on what 
language is better and most of the times (I have read quite a lot of 
blog/forum topics on this) argumentation is based on what religion one 
belongs to (e.g. Java vs Scala vs Python)


- we have checked supposed performance issues and limitations of scala 
described here: (http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/11/yammer-scala) by 
re-factoring to "best practices" described in the article and have 
observed both performance increase in some places and, at the same time, 
performance decrease in other places. Thus I would say there is no 
noticeable performance difference between scala vs java in our use case 
(of course there are and always will be applications where one or other 
language performs better);


hope I could help

We have had excellent results operating on RDDs using Java 8 with Lambdas.
It’s slightly more verbose than Scala, but I haven’t found this an issue,
and haven’t missed any functionality.

The new DataFrame API makes the Spark platform even more language agnostic.
