About

Sparkit-learn aims to provide scikit-learn functionality and API on PySpark. The main goal of the library is to create an API that stays close to sklearn’s.

The driving principle was to “Think locally, execute distributively.” To accomodate this concept, the basic data block is always an array or a (sparse) matrix and the operations are executed on block level.

Quick start

Sparkit-learn introduces two important distributed data format:

• ArrayRDD:

  A numpy.array like distributed array

  from splearn.rdd import ArrayRDD
  
  data = range(20)
  # PySpark RDD with 2 partitions
  rdd = sc.parallelize(data, 2) # each partition with 10 elements
  # ArrayRDD
  # each partition will contain blocks with 5 elements
  X = ArrayRDD(rdd, block_size=5) # 4 blocks, 2 in each partition

  Basic operations:

  len(X) # 4 - number of blocks
  X.shape # (20,) - the shape of the whole dataset
  
  X # returns an ArrayRDD
  # <class 'splearn.rdd.ArrayRDD'> from PythonRDD...
  
  X.collect() # get the dataset
  # [array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]),
  #  array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
  #  array([10, 11, 12, 13, 14]),
  #  array([15, 16, 17, 18, 19])]
  
  X[1].collect() # indexing
  # [array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9])]
  
  X[1] # also returns an ArrayRDD!
  
  X[1::2].collect() # slicing
  # [array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
  #  array([15, 16, 17, 18, 19])]
  
  X[1::2] # returns an ArrayRDD as well
  
  X.tolist() # returns the dataset as a list
  # [0, 1, 2, ... 17, 18, 19]
  X.toarray() # returns the dataset as a numpy.array
  # array([ 0,  1,  2, ... 17, 18, 19])
  
  # pyspark.rdd operations will still work
  X.numPartitions() # 2 - number of partitions

• DictRDD:

  A column based data format, each column is a numpy.array.

  from splearn.rdd import DictRDD
  
  X = range(20)
  y = range(2) * 10
  # PySpark RDD with 2 partitions
  X_rdd = sc.parallelize(data_X, 2) # each partition with 10 elements
  y_rdd = sc.parallelize(data_y, 2) # each partition with 10 elements
  zipped_rdd = X_rdd.zip(y_rdd) # zip the two rdd's together
  # DictRDD
  # each partition will contain blocks with 5 elements
  Z = DictRDD(zipped_rdd, columns=('X', 'y'),  block_size=5) # 4 blocks, 2/partition
  
  # or:
  import numpy as np
  
  data = np.array([range(20), range(2)*10]).T
  rdd = sc.parallelize(data, 2)
  Z = DictRDD(rdd, columns=('X', 'y'),  block_size=5)

  Basic operations:

  len(Z) # 4 - number of blocks
  Z.shape # (20,2) - the shape of the whole dataset
  Z.columns # returns ('X', 'y')
  
  Z # returns a DictRDD
  #<class 'splearn.rdd.DictRDD'> from PythonRDD...
  
  Z.collect()
  # [(array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]), array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0])),
  #  (array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1])),
  #  (array([10, 11, 12, 13, 14]), array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0])),
  #  (array([15, 16, 17, 18, 19]), array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1]))]
  
  Z[:, 'y'] # column select - returns an ArrayRDD
  Z[:, 'y'].collect()
  # [array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0]),
  #  array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1]),
  #  array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0]),
  #  array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1])]
  
  Z[:-1, ['X', 'y']] # slicing - DictRDD
  Z[:-1, ['X', 'y']].collect()
  # [(array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]), array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0])),
  #  (array([5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), array([1, 0, 1, 0, 1])),
  #  (array([10, 11, 12, 13, 14]), array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0]))]
