Please try val parsedData3 = data3.repartition(12).map(_.split("\t")).map(_.toDouble).cache() and check the storage and driver/executor memory in the WebUI. Make sure the data is fully cached. -Xiangrui On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 5:09 AM, Ravishankar Rajagopalan wrote: > Hi Xiangrui, > > Yes I a

Hi Xiangrui, Yes I am using Spark v0.9 and am not running it in local mode. I did the memory setting using "export SPARK_MEM=4G" before starting the Spark instance. Also previously, I was starting it with -c 1 but changed it to -c 12 since it is a 12 core machine. It did bring down the time tak

Is it v0.9? Did you run in local mode? Try to set --driver-memory 4g and repartition your data to match number of CPU cores such that the data is evenly distributed. You need 1m * 50 * 8 ~ 400MB to storage the data. Make sure there are enough memory for caching. -Xiangrui On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 1

Speeding up K-Means Clustering

2014-07-17 Thread Ravishankar Rajagopalan
I am trying to use MLlib for K-Means clustering on a data set with 1 million rows and 50 columns (all columns have double values) which is on HDFS (raw txt file is 28 MB) I initially tried the following: val data3 = sc.textFile("hdfs://...inputData.txt") val parsedData3 = data3.map( _.split('\t')
