This is working very well, thanks Russ!
For anyone ever stuck in this predicament, using the WholeRowIterator, I
was able to get the same Iterator<Map.Entry<Key,Value>> that I can get
similarly to the AccumuloRowInputFormat as follows:
...
IteratorSetting iteratorSetting =newIteratorSetting(1, WholeRowIterator.class);
AccumuloInputFormat.addIterator(job, iteratorSetting);
// setup RDD
JavaPairRDD<Key, Value> pairRDD =
sparkContext.newAPIHadoopRDD(job.getConfiguration(),
AccumuloInputFormat.class,
Key.class, Value.class);
JavaRDD<List<MyResult>> result = pairRDD
.map(newFunction<Tuple2<Key, Value>, List<MyResult>>() {
@Override
publicList<MyResult> call(Tuple2<Key, Value>
keyValueTuple2)throwsException {
SortedMap<Key, Value> wholeRow =
WholeRowIterator.decodeRow(keyValueTuple2._1, keyValueTuple2._2);
MyObject o = getMyObject(wholeRow.entrySet().iterator());
*...*
}
});
Previously, I was doing this approach, which required an additional stage of
Spark calculations as well as a shuffle phase, and wasn't nearly as quick, and
also needed a helper class (AccumuloRowMapEntry, very basic Map.Entry
implementation):
JavaRDD<List<MyResult>> result = pairRDD
.mapToPair(newPairFunction<Tuple2<Key, Value>, Text, Map.Entry<Key,
Value>>() {
@Override
publicTuple2<Text, Map.Entry<Key, Value>> call(Tuple2<Key, Value>
keyValueTuple2)throwsException {
return newTuple2<Text, Map.Entry<Key,
Value>>(keyValueTuple2._1.getRow(),newAccumuloRowMapEntry(keyValueTuple2._1,
keyValueTuple2._2));
}
})
.groupByKey()
.map(newFunction<Tuple2<Text, Iterable<Map.Entry<Key, Value>>>,
List<MyResult>>() {
@Override
publicList<MyResult> call(Tuple2<Text, Iterable<Map.Entry<Key,
Value>>> textIterableTuple2)throwsException {
MyObject o = getMyObject(textIterableTuple2._2.iterator());
*...*
}
});
Thanks again for all the help.

Yeah, exactly. When you put the WholeRowIterator on the scan,
instead of seeing all the Key,Value pairs that make up a row you'll
see a single Key,Value pair. The only part of the Key that matters
is the row id. The Value is an encoded map of the Key,Value pairs
that constitute the row. Call the static method
WholeRowIterator.decodeRow to get at this map.
The decoded Keys have all the CF, CQ, timestamp and visibility data
populated. I'm not sure if they have the row ID populated; either
way, they all belong to the same row that was present in the
original Key.

Hi Russ,
How exactly would this work regarding column qualifiers, etc, as
those are part of the key? I apologize but I'm not as familiar
with the WholeRowIterator use model, does it consolidate based
on the rowkey, and then return some Key+Value "value" which has
all the original information serialized?
My rows aren't gigantic but they can occasionally get into the
10s of MB.

Hi, Marc,
If your rows are small you can use the WholeRowIterator to
get all the values with the key in one consuming function.
If your rows are big but you know up-front that you'll only
need a small part of each row, you could put a filter in
front of the WholeRowIterator.
I expect there's a performance hit (I haven't done any
benchmarks myself) because of the extra
serialization/deserialization but it's a very convenient way
of working with Rows in Spark.

Has anyone done any testing with Spark and
AccumuloRowInputFormat? I have no problem doing this for
AccumuloInputFormat:
JavaPairRDD<Key, Value> pairRDD =
sparkContext.newAPIHadoopRDD(job.getConfiguration(),
AccumuloInputFormat.class,
Key.class, Value.class);
But I run into a snag trying to do a similar thing:
JavaPairRDD<Text, PeekingIterator<Map.Entry<Key, Value>>>
pairRDD = sparkContext.newAPIHadoopRDD(job.getConfiguration(),
AccumuloRowInputFormat.class,
Text.class, PeekingIterator.class);
The compilation error is (big, sorry):
Error:(141, 97) java: method newAPIHadoopRDD in class

I've tried a few things, the signature of the function is:
public<K, V, Fextendsorg.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.InputFormat<K, V>> JavaPairRDD<K,
V> newAPIHadoopRDD(Configuration conf, Class<F> fClass, Class<K> kClass, Class<V> vClass)
I guess it's having trouble with the format extending
InputFormatBase with its own additional generic parameters (the Map.Entry
inside PeekingIterator).
This may be an issue to chase with Spark vs Accumulo, unless
something can be tweaked on the Accumulo side or I could wrap the InputFormat
with my own somehow.
Accumulo 1.6.1, Spark 1.3.1, JDK 7u71.
Stopping short of this, can anyone think of a good way to use
AccumuloInputFormat to get what I'm getting from the Row version in a
performant way? It doesn't necessarily have to be an iterator approach, but I'd
need all my values with the key in one consuming function. I'm looking into
ways to do it in spark functions but trying to avoid any major performance hits.
Thanks,
Marc
p.s. The summit was absolutely great, thank you all for having
it!
