Control IoT Devices Using Scala on Databricks (Based on ML Model Output)

Featured

A few weeks ago I did a talk at AI Bootcamp here in Melbourne on how we can build a serverless solution on Azure that would take us one step closer to powering industrial machines with AI, using the same technology stack that is typically used to deliver IoT analytics use cases. I demoed a … Continue reading Control IoT Devices Using Scala on Databricks (Based on ML Model Output)

Stream IoT sensor data from Azure IoT Hub into Databricks Delta Lake

Featured

IoT devices produce a lot of data very fast. Capturing data from all those devices, which could be at millions, and managing them is the very first step in building a successful and effective IoT platform. Like any other data solution, an IoT data platform could be built on-premise or on cloud. I'm a huge … Continue reading Stream IoT sensor data from Azure IoT Hub into Databricks Delta Lake

How to import spark.implicits._ in Spark 2.2: error “value toDS is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD”

I wrote about how to import implicits in spark 1.6 more than 2 years ago. But things have changed in Spark 2.2: the first thing you need to do when coding in Spark 2.2 is to set up an SparkSession object. SparkSession is the entry point to programming Spark with DataSet and DataFrame. Like Spark … Continue reading How to import spark.implicits._ in Spark 2.2: error “value toDS is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD”

Spark Error “java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Size exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE” in Spark 1.6

RDDs are the building blocks of Spark and what make it so powerful: they are stored in memory for fast processing. RDDs are broken down into partitions (blocks) of data, a logical piece of distributed dataset. The underlying abstraction for blocks in Spark is a ByteBuffer, which limits the size of the block to 2 … Continue reading Spark Error “java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Size exceeds Integer.MAX_VALUE” in Spark 1.6

Spark Error CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Driver disassociated! Shutting down: Spark Memory & memoryOverhead

Another common error we saw in yarn application logs was this: 17/08/31 15:58:07 WARN CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: An unknown (datanode-022:43969) driver disconnected. 17/08/31 15:58:07 ERROR CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend: Driver 10.1.1.111:43969 disassociated! Shutting down. Googling this error suggests increasing spark.yarn.driver.memoryOverhead or spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverhead or both. That has apparently worked for a lot of people. Or at least those who were smart enough to understand … Continue reading Spark Error CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend Driver disassociated! Shutting down: Spark Memory & memoryOverhead

Spark Error: Failed to Send RPC to Datanode

This past week we had quite few issues with users not being able to run Spark jobs running in YARN Cluster mode. Particularly a team that was on tight schedule used to get errors like this all the time: java.io.IOException: Failed to send RPC 8277242275361198650 to datanode-055: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException Mostly accompanied by error messages like: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Error … Continue reading Spark Error: Failed to Send RPC to Datanode

How to import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext.implicits in Spark 1.6: error “value toDF is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD”

Note: If you're using Spark 2.2, please read this post I am doing a mini project for my company using Spark/Scala and have been stuck with the error mentioned in the title for a couple of days. Googling that error suggested to import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext.implicits, and that's what I did: import org.apache.spark.SparkContext import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._ import org.apache.spark.sql._ import … Continue reading How to import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext.implicits in Spark 1.6: error “value toDF is not a member of org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD”
