Codecov.io

This project is a sandbox and playground of mine for experimenting ideas and potential improvements to Spark SQL. It consists of:

  • A parser that parses a small SQL dialect into unresolved logical plans
  • A semantic analyzer that resolves unresolved logical plans into resolved ones
  • A query optimizer that optimizes resolved query plans into equivalent but more performant ones
  • A query planner that turns (optimized) logical plans into executable physical plans

Currently Spear only works with local Scala collections.

Build

Building Spear is as easy as:

$ ./build/sbt package

Run the REPL

Spear has an Ammonite-based REPL for interactive experiments. To start it:

$ ./build/sbt spear-repl/run

Let's create a simple DataFrame of numbers:

@ context range 10 show ()
╒══╕
│id│
├──┤
│ 0│
│ 1│
│ 2│
│ 3│
│ 4│
│ 5│
│ 6│
│ 7│
│ 8│
│ 9│
╘══╛

A sample query using the DataFrame API:

@ context.
    range(10).
    select('id as 'key, (rand(42) * 100) cast IntType as 'value).
    where('value % 2 === 0).
    orderBy('value.desc).
    show()
╒═══╤═════╕
│key│value│
├───┼─────┤
│  5│   90│
│  9│   78│
│  0│   72│
│  1│   68│
│  4│   66│
│  8│   46│
│  6│   36│
│  2│   30│
╘═══╧═════╛

Equivalent sample query using SQL:

@ context range 10 asTable 't // Registers a temporary table first

@ context.sql(
    """SELECT * FROM (
      |  SELECT id AS key, CAST(RAND(42) * 100 AS INT) AS value FROM t
      |) s
      |WHERE value % 2 = 0
      |ORDER BY value DESC
      |""".stripMargin
  ).show()
╒═══╤═════╕
│key│value│
├───┼─────┤
│  5│   90│
│  9│   78│
│  0│   72│
│  1│   68│
│  4│   66│
│  8│   46│
│  6│   36│
│  2│   30│
╘═══╧═════╛

We can also check the query plan using explain():

@ context.
    range(10).
    select('id as 'key, (rand(42) * 100) cast IntType as 'value).
    where('value % 2 === 0).
    orderBy('value.desc).
    explain(true)
