[SOLVED] Dsci553  assignment 2 in this assignment, you will implement the son algorithm using the spark framework.

In this assignment, you will implement the SON Algorithm using the Spark Framework. You will develop a program to find frequent itemsets in two datasets, one simulated dataset and one real-world generated dataset. The goal of this assignment is to apply the algorithms you have learned in class on large datasets more efficiently in a distributed environment.2.1 Programming Requirements a. You must use Python to implement all tasks. You can only use standard python libraries (i.e., external libraries like numpy or pandas are not allowed). There will be a 10% bonus for each task if you also submit a Scala implementation and both your Python and Scala implementations are correct. b. You are required to only use Spark RDD in order to understand Spark operations. You will not get any points if you use Spark DataFrame or DataSet. c. Python standard library set : https://docs.python.org/3/library/2.2 Programming Environment Python 3.6, JDK 1.8, Scala 2.12, and Spark 3.1.2 We will use these library versions to compile and test your code. There will be no point if we cannot run your code on Vocareum. On Vocareum, you can call `spark-submit` located at `/opt/spark/spark-3.1.2-binhadoop3.2/bin/spark-submit`. (Do not use the one at /usr/local/bin/spark-submit). We use `–executor-memory 4G –driver-memory 4G` on Vocareum for grading.2.3 Write your own code Do not share code with other students!! For this assignment to be an effective learning experience, you must write your own code! We emphasize this point because you will be able to find Python implementations of some of the required functions on the web. Please do not look for or at any such code! TAs will combine all the code we can find from the web (e.g., Github) as well as other students’ code from this and other (previous) sections for plagiarism detection. We will report all detected plagiarism. We will report all detected plagiarism and severe penalties will be given for the students whose submissions are plagiarized.2.4 What you need to turn in We will grade all submissions on Vocareum and the submissions on the blackboard will be ignored. Vocareum produces a submission report after you click the “Submit” button (It takes a while since Vocareum needs to run your code in order to generate the report). Vocareum will only grade Python scripts during the submission phase and it will grade both Python and Scala during the grading phase. a. Two Python scripts, named: (all lowercase) task1.py, task2.py b. [OPTIONAL] hw2.jar and two Scala scripts, named: (all lowercase) hw2.jar, task1.scala, task2.scala c. You don’t need to include your results or the datasets. We will grade your code with our testing data (data will be in the same format). d. Students can submit an unlimited number of times. Only the latest submission will be accepted and graded.In this assignment, you will use one simulated dataset and one real-world dataset. In task 1, you will build and test your program with a small simulated CSV file that has been provided to you. Then in task2 you need to generate a subset using the Ta Feng dataset with a structure similar to the simulated data. Figure 1 shows the file structure of task1 simulated csv, the first column is user_id and the second column is business_id. Figure 1: Input Data FormatIn this assignment, you will implement the SON Algorithm to solve all tasks (Task 1 and 2) on top of Spark Framework. You need to find all the possible combinations of the frequent itemsets in any given input file within the required time. You can refer to Chapter 6 from the Mining of Massive Datasets book and concentrate on section 6.4 – Limited-Pass Algorithms. (Hint: you can choose either A-Priori, MultiHash, or PCY algorithm to process each chunk of the data)4.1 Task 1: Simulated data (3 pts) There are two CSV files (small1.csv and small2.csv) in Vocareum under ‘../resource/asnlib/publicdata’. The small1.csv is just a test file that you can use to debug your code. For task1, we will only test your code on small2.csv. In this task, you need to build two kinds of market-basket models. Case 1 (1.5 pts): You will calculate the combinations of frequent businesses (as singletons, pairs, triples, etc.) that are qualified as frequent given a support threshold. You need to create a basket for each user containing the business ids reviewed by this user. If a business was reviewed more than once by a reviewer, we consider this product was rated only once. More specifically, the business ids within each basket are unique.The generated baskets are similar to: user1: [business11, business12, business13, …] user2: [business21, business22, business23, …] user3: [business31, business32, business33, …] Case 2 (1.5 pts): You will calculate the combinations of frequent users (as singletons, pairs, triples, etc.) that are qualified as frequent given a support threshold. You need to create a basket for each business containing the user ids that commented on this business. Similar to case 1, the user ids within each basket are unique. The generated baskets are similar to: business1: [user11, user12, user13, …] business2: [user21, user22, user23, …] business3: [user31, user32, user33, …] Input format: 1. Case number: Integer that specifies the case. 1 for Case 1 and 2 for Case 2. 2. Support: Integer that defines the minimum count to qualify as a frequent itemset. 3. Input file path: This is the path to the input file including path, file name and extension.4. Output file path: This is the path to the output file including path, file name and extension. Output format: 1. Runtime: the total execution time from loading the file till finishing writing the output file You need to print the runtime in the console with the “Duration” tag, e.g., “Duration: 100”. 2. Output file: (1) Intermediate result You should use “Candidates:” as the tag. For each line you should output the candidates of frequent itemsets you found after the first pass of SON Algorithm followed by an empty line after each combination.The printed itemsets must be sorted in lexicographical order (Both user_id and business_id are types of string). (2) Final result You should use “Frequent Itemsets:”as the tag. For each line you should output the final frequent itemsets you found after finishing the SON Algorithm. The format is the same with the intermediate results. The printed itemsets must be sorted in lexicographical order. Here is an example of the output file: Both the intermediate results and final results should be saved in ONE output result file. Command line Format: Python: spark-submit task1.py Scala: spark-submit –class task1 hw2.jar Command line Example: /opt/spark/spark-3.1.2-bin-hadoop3.2/bin/spark-submit –executor-memory 4G — driver-memory 4G task1.py 1 4 ../resource/asnlib/publicdata/small1.csv task1_output.txt4.2 Task 2: Ta Feng data (4 pts) In task 2, you will explore the Ta Feng dataset to find the frequent itemsets (only case 1). You will use data found here from Kaggle (https://bit.ly/2miWqFS) to find product IDs associated with a given customer ID each day. Aggregate all purchases a customer makes within a day into one basket. In other words, assume a customer purchases at once all items purchased within a day. The data file is provided at ../resource/asnlib/publicdata/ta_feng_all_months_merged.csv Note: Be careful when reading the csv file as spark can read the product id numbers with leading zeros.You can manually format Column F (PRODUCT_ID) to numbers (with zero decimal places) in the csv file before reading it using spark. SON Algorithm on Ta Feng data: You will create a data pipeline where the input is the raw Ta Feng data, and the output is the file described under “output file”. You will pre-process the data, and then from this pre-processed data, you will create the final output. Your code is allowed to output this pre-processed data during execution, but you should NOT submit homework that includes this pre-processed data. (1) Data preprocessing You need to generate a dataset from the TaFeng dataset with following steps: 1. Find the date of the purchase (column TRANSACTION_DT), such as December 1, 2000 (12/1/00) 2. At each date, select “CUSTOMER_ID” and “PRODUCT_ID”. 3. We want to consider all items bought by a consumer each day as a separate transaction (i.e., “baskets”). For example, if consumer 1, 2, and 3 each bought oranges December 2, 2000, and consumer 2 also bought celery on December 3, 2000, we would consider that to be 4 separate transactions. An easy way to do this is to rename each CUSTOMER_ID as “DATE-CUSTOMER_ID”. For example, if CUSTOMER_ID is 12321, and this customer bought apples November 14, 2000, then their new ID is “11/14/00-12321” 4. Make sure each line in the CSV file is “DATE-CUSTOMER_ID1, PRODUCT_ID1”.5. The header of CSV file should be “DATE-CUSTOMER_ID, PRODUCT_ID” You need to save the dataset in CSV format. Figure below shows an example of the output file (please note DATE-CUSTOMER_ID and PRODUCT_ID are strings and integers, respectively) Figure: customer_product file Do NOT submit the output file of this data preprocessing step, but your code is allowed to create this file. (2) Apply SON Algorithm The requirements for task 2 are similar to task 1. However, you will test your implementation with the large dataset you just generated. For this purpose, you need to report the total execution time. For this execution time, we take into account the time from reading the file till writing the results to the output file. You are asked to find the candidate and frequent itemsets (similar to the previous task) using the file you just generated.The following are the steps you need to do: 1. Reading the customer_product CSV file in to RDD and then build the case 1 market-basket model 2. Find out qualified customers-date who purchased more than k items. (k is the filter threshold); 3. Apply the SON Algorithm code to the filtered market-basket model; Input format: 1. Filter threshold: Integer that is used to filter out qualified users 2. Support: Integer that defines the minimum count to qualify as a frequent itemset. 3. Input file path: This is the path to the input file including path, file name and extension.4. Output file path: This is the path to the output file including path, file name and extension. Output format: 1. Runtime: the total execution time from loading the file till finishing writing the output file You need to print the runtime in the console with the “Duration” tag, e.g., “Duration: 100”. 2. Output file The output file format is the same with task 1. Both the intermediate results and final results should be saved in ONE output result file. Command line Format: Python: spark-submit task2.py Scala: spark-submit –class task2 hw2.jar Command line Example: /opt/spark/spark-3.1.2-bin-hadoop3.2/bin/spark-submit –executor-memory 4G –driver-memory 4G task2.py 20 50 ../resource/asnlib/publicdata/ta_feng_all_months_merged.csv task2_output.txt 6. Evaluation Metric Task 1: Input File Case Support Runtime (sec) small1.csv 1 4 <=200 small2.csv 2 9 <=100Task 2: Input File Filter Threshold Support Runtime (sec) ta_feng_all_months_merg ed.csv 20 50 <=5005. Grading Criteria (% penalty = % penalty of possible points you get) 1. You can use your free 5-day extension separately or together a. https://forms.gle/edH8jw1mJjrLFRcm8 b. This form will record the number of late days you use for each assignment. We will not count late days if no request is submitted. Remember to submit the request BEFORE the deadline. 2. There will be a 10% bonus if you use both Scala and Python. 3. We will combine all the code we can find from the web (e.g., Github) as well as other students’ code from this and other (previous) sections for plagiarism detection. If plagiarism is detected, there will be no point for the entire assignment and we will report all detected plagiarism. 4.All submissions will be graded on the Vocareum. Please strictly follow the format provided, otherwise you can’t get the point even though the answer is correct.5. If the outputs of your program are unsorted or partially sorted, there will be a 50% penalty. 6. If you use Spark DataFrame, DataSet, sparksql, there will be a 20% penalty. 7. We can regrade your assignments within seven days once the scores are released. No argument after one week. 8. There will be a 20% penalty for late submission within a week and no point after a week. 9. Only when your results from Python are correct, the bonus of using Scala will be calculated. There is no partial point for Scala.See the example below: Example situations Task Score for Python Score for Scala Total (10% of previous column if correct) Task1 Correct: 3 points Correct: 3 * 10% 3.3 Task1 Wrong: 0 point Correct: 0 * 10% 0.0 Task1 Partially correct: 1.5 points Correct: 1.5 * 10% 1.65 Task1 Partially correct: 1.5 points Wrong: 0 1.56. Common problems causing fail submission on Vocareum/FAQ (If your program runs seems successfully on your local machine but fail on Vocareum, please check these) 1. Try your program on Vocareum terminal. Remember to set python version as python3.6, And use the latest Spark 2. Check the input command line format. 3. Check the output format, for example, the header, tag, typo. 4. Check the requirements of sorting the results. 5. Your program scripts should be named as task1.py task2.py. 6. Check whether your local environment fits the assignment description, i.e. version, configuration.7. If you implement the core part in python instead of spark, or implement it in a high time complexity way (e.g. search an element in a list instead of a set), your program may be killed on the Vocareum because it runs too slow. 8. You are required to only use Spark RDD in order to understand Spark operations more deeply. You will not get any points if you use Spark DataFrame or DataSet. Don’t import sparksql. 9. Do not use Vocareum for debugging purposes, please debug on your local machine. Vocareum can be very slow if you use it for debugging.10. Vocareum is reliable in helping you to check the input and output formats, but its function on checking the code correctness is limited. It can not guarantee the correctness of the code even with a full score in the submission report. 11. Some students encounter an error like: the output rate …. has exceeded the allowed value ….bytes/s; attempting to kill the process. To resolve this, please remove all print statements and set the Spark logging level such that it limits the logs generated – that can be done using sc.setLogLevel . Preferably, set the log level to either WARN or ERROR when submitting your code.
