单Windows机器上的多个Spark Worker

Question

I am trying to teach myself Spark through Scala using Intellij on Windows. I'm doing this on a single machine, and I would like to start multiple workers on the single machine to simulate a cluster. I read this page where it says that

"The launch scripts do not currently support Windows. To run a Spark cluster on Windows, start the master and workers by hand."

I don't know what it means to start the masters and workers by hand. Could anyone help? Many thanks for any help/suggestions.

Answer 1

To manually start Spark Master, run below command from %SPARK_HOME%\\bin

spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master

Above command will also print master URL like spark://ip:port
Master UI can be accessed at localhost:8080

To start Spark Worker, run

spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://ip:port

Now if you refresh Master UI, you can see the new worker listed under Workers section.
Repeat the command to add multiple workers to the same master.
