Hi, You can take a look at the Spark Kernel project: https://github.com/ibm-et/spark-kernel
The Spark Kernel's goal is to serve as the foundation for interactive applications. The project provides a client library in Scala that abstracts connecting to the kernel (containing a Spark Context), which can be embedded into a web application. We demonstrated this at StataConf when we embedded the Spark Kernel client into a Play application to provide an interactive web application that communicates to Spark via the Spark Kernel (hosting a Spark Context). A getting started section can be found here: https://github.com/ibm-et/spark-kernel/wiki/Getting-Started-with-the-Spark-Kernel If you have any other questions, feel free to email me or communicate over our mailing list: spark-ker...@googlegroups.com https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spark-kernel Signed, Chip Senkbeil IBM Emerging Technology Software Engineer From: olegshirokikh <o...@solver.com> To: user@spark.apache.org Date: 01/16/2015 01:32 PM Subject: Creating Apache Spark-powered “As Service” applications The question is about the ways to create a Windows desktop-based and/or web-based application client that is able to connect and talk to the server containing Spark application (either local or on-premise cloud distributions) in the run-time. Any language/architecture may work. So far, I've seen two things that may be a help in that, but I'm not so sure if they would be the best alternative and how they work yet: Spark Job Server - https://github.com/spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver - defines a REST API for Spark Hue - http://gethue.com/get-started-with-spark-deploy-spark-server-and-compute-pi-from-your-web-browser/ - uses item 1) Any advice would be appreciated. Simple toy example program (or steps) that shows, e.g. how to build such client for simply creating Spark Context on a local machine and say reading text file and returning basic stats would be ideal answer! -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/Creating-Apache-Spark-powered-As-Service-applications-tp21193.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
