Spark Core is the foundation of the overall project. It provides distributed task dispatching, scheduling, and basic I/O functionalities, exposed through an application programming interface (for Java, Python, Scala, .NET [16] and R) centered on the RDD abstraction (the Java API is available for other JVM languages, but is also usable for some other non-JVM languages that can connect to the ...
It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD), e.g. the BSD getcwd [1] function, or just current directory. [2] When a process refers to a file using a path that does not begin with a / (forward slash), the path is interpreted as relative to the process's working directory.
The shuffle sort [6] is a variant of bucket sort that begins by removing the first 1/8 of the n items to be sorted, sorts them recursively, and puts them in an array. This creates n/8 "buckets" to which the remaining 7/8 of the items are distributed. Each "bucket" is then sorted, and the "buckets" are concatenated into a sorted array.
A bidirectional variant of selection sort (called double selection sort or sometimes cocktail sort due to its similarity to cocktail shaker sort) finds both the minimum and maximum values in the list in every pass. This requires three comparisons per two items (a pair of elements is compared, then the greater is compared to the maximum and the ...
The difference between pigeonhole sort and counting sort is that in counting sort, the auxiliary array does not contain lists of input elements, only counts: 3: 1; 4: 0; 5: 2; 6: 0; 7: 0; 8: 1; For arrays where N is much larger than n, bucket sort is a generalization that is more efficient in space and time.
procedure heapsort(a, count) is input: an unordered array a of length count (Build the heap in array a so that largest value is at the root) heapify(a, count) (The following loop maintains the invariants that a[0:end−1] is a heap, and every element a[end:count−1] beyond end is greater than everything before it, i.e. a[end:count−1] is in ...
Related problems include approximate sorting (sorting a sequence to within a certain amount of the correct order), partial sorting (sorting only the k smallest elements of a list, or finding the k smallest elements, but unordered) and selection (computing the kth smallest element). These can be solved inefficiently by a total sort, but more ...
A comparison sort cannot use less than log 2 (n!) comparisons on average to sort n items (as explained in the article Comparison sort) and in case of large n, Stirling's approximation yields log 2 (n!) ≈ n(log 2 n − log 2 e), so quicksort is not much worse than an ideal comparison sort. This fast average runtime is another reason for ...
