Spark scala running - scala

Question

Hi I am new to spark and scala. I am running scala code in spark scala prompt. The program is fine, it's showing "defined module MLlib" but its not printing anything on screen. What have I done wrong? Is there any other way to run this program spark in scala shell and get the output?
import org.apache.spark.{SparkConf, SparkContext}
import org.apache.spark.mllib.classification.LogisticRegressionWithSGD
import org.apache.spark.mllib.feature.HashingTF
import org.apache.spark.mllib.regression.LabeledPoint
object MLlib {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName(s"Book example: Scala")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
// Load 2 types of emails from text files: spam and ham (non-spam).
// Each line has text from one email.
val spam = sc.textFile("/home/training/Spam.txt")
val ham = sc.textFile("/home/training/Ham.txt")
// Create a HashingTF instance to map email text to vectors of 100 features.
val tf = new HashingTF(numFeatures = 100)
// Each email is split into words, and each word is mapped to one feature.
val spamFeatures = spam.map(email => tf.transform(email.split(" ")))
val hamFeatures = ham.map(email => tf.transform(email.split(" ")))
// Create LabeledPoint datasets for positive (spam) and negative (ham) examples.
val positiveExamples = spamFeatures.map(features => LabeledPoint(1, features))
val negativeExamples = hamFeatures.map(features => LabeledPoint(0, features))
val trainingData = positiveExamples ++ negativeExamples
trainingData.cache() // Cache data since Logistic Regression is an iterative algorithm.
// Create a Logistic Regression learner which uses the LBFGS optimizer.
val lrLearner = new LogisticRegressionWithSGD()
// Run the actual learning algorithm on the training data.
val model = lrLearner.run(trainingData)
// Test on a positive example (spam) and a negative one (ham).
// First apply the same HashingTF feature transformation used on the training data.
val posTestExample = tf.transform("O M G GET cheap stuff by sending money to ...".split(" "))
val negTestExample = tf.transform("Hi Dad, I started studying Spark the other ...".split(" "))
// Now use the learned model to predict spam/ham for new emails.
println(s"Prediction for positive test example: ${model.predict(posTestExample)}")
println(s"Prediction for negative test example: ${model.predict(negTestExample)}")
sc.stop()
}
}

A couple of things:
You defined your object in the the Spark shell, so the main class won't get called immediately. You'll have to call it explicitly after you define the object:
MLlib.main(Array())
In fact, if you continue to work on the shell/REPL you can do away with the object altogether; you can define the function directly. For example:
import org.apache.spark.{SparkConf, SparkContext}
import org.apache.spark.mllib.classification.LogisticRegressionWithSGD
import org.apache.spark.mllib.feature.HashingTF
import org.apache.spark.mllib.regression.LabeledPoint
def MLlib {
//the rest of your code
}
However, you shouldn't initialize SparkContext it within the shell. From the documentation:
In the Spark shell, a special interpreter-aware SparkContext is
already created for you, in the variable called sc. Making your own
SparkContext will not work
So, you have to either remove that bit from your code, or compile it into a jar and run it using spark-submit
