Anyone knows how to build and spark on jdk9?

[Zhang, Liyun]

Hi all:
1.   I want to build spark on jdk9 and test it with Hadoop on jdk9 env. I 
search for jiras related to JDK9. I only found 
SPARK-13278.  This means now 
spark can build or run successfully on JDK9 ?

It probably depends on the Scala version we use in Spark supporting Java 9
first.

[Zhang, Liyun]

Thanks your suggestion, seems that scala 2.12.4 support jdk9


Scala 2.12.4<https://github.com/scala/scala/releases/tag/v2.12.4> is now 
available.

Our 
benchmarks<https://scala-ci.typesafe.com/grafana/dashboard/db/scala-benchmark?var-branch=2.12.x&from=1501580691158&to=1507711932006>
 show a further reduction in compile times since 2.12.3 of 5-10%.

Improved Java 9 friendliness, with more to come!

Don't know about spark itself, but I do know that getting Hadoop on JDK9 is 
still a WiP, primarily because they've locked it down so much (good) including 
the things hadoop gets at to make things like kerberos auth work (bad)

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11123

A large part of the issues are with moving its dependencies to Java 9 
compatible ones (Log4J, mockito, JUnit) —all of those which only surface in 
testing and in the build itself won't be relevant for Spark standalone. Other 
than that, YARN doesn't work

Most of the work has been done by one person (Akira @ NEC); if there are other 
people willing to help, including building & testing Spark against (locally 
built) JDK9 Hadoop artifacts life would be better. We could maybe build & 
release some alpha-quality Hadoop 3.1.x-alpha-JDK9 artifacts if that would help

FWIW, there's long been some background chatter between the old Sun JDK team & 
the ASF big data stack devs; modules is something wonderful which will kill the 
need for shading and reduce/eliminate classpath hell. Earlier on there was some 
discussion about having proper 2d arrays & direct memory access of some 
structures, but that's not in this version. Give it time.

Oracle are being aggressive about retiring Java 8: by Sept 2018 they plan to 
not provide public updates for it. Which means building against Java 9 dev time 
is here for everyone

If someone else is looking how to try jdk9, you can just pass your own
JAVA_HOME environment variables:

spark.yarn.appMasterEnv.JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0

spark.executorEnv.JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0

Scala 2.12 is not yet supported on Spark - this means also not JDK9:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/SPARK-14220

If you look at the Oracle support then jdk 9 is anyway only supported for 6 
months. JDK 8 is Lts (5 years) JDK 18.3 will be only 6 months and JDK 18.9 is 
lts (5 years).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

I do not think Spark should support non-lts releases. Especially for JDK9 I do 
not see a strong technical need, but maybe I am overlooking something. Of 
course http2 etc would be nice for the web interfaces, but currently not very 
urgent.

Certainly, Scala 2.12 support precedes Java 9 support. A lot of the work is
in place already, and the last issue is dealing with how Scala closures are
now implemented quite different with lambdas / invokedynamic. This affects
the ClosureCleaner. For the interested, this is as far as I know the main
remaining issue:

Despite the odd naming, all of these versions of Java are successors to
Java 9. Supporting any of them is probably the same thing, so, the work is
still for now getting it working on Java 9.

Whereas Java has been very backwards-compatible in the past, the new module
structure is almost certain to break something in Spark or its
dependencies. Removing JAXB from the JDK alone causes issues. Getting it to
run at all on Java 9 may require changes, whereas compatibility with new
Java major releases in the past generally came for free. It'll be worth
trying to make that happen soonish. I'm guessing for Spark 3.x in first
half of next year?

But, first things first. Scala 2.12 support.

it is going to be traumatic across the stack, but it's probably best starting 
it as a background activity, just to be aware of what's going to work and where 
the trouble is(*).

Oracle's new retirement strategy is "odd": it'll essentially be killing java 0 
updates before java 8, and retiring java 8 as the same time as the march '18 
release. Like you say, not very motiviational for an update.

At the same time: Java 8 is going away, and at some point the move to the new 
versions will be needed, even if the new version isn't JDK9 itself. It's 
generally helpful to be a bit proactive, especially getting all the 
dependencies bumped up, sorting out build & test. The real enemy is any 
incompatible change needed in the code, or something which breaks public/stable 
APIs. That and some dependency on a library which is not compatible with java 9 
and which lacks a replacement. Either you take on the maintenance yourself 
(bad),  or you do the migration.




(*) I predict "Kerberos". it's always Kerberos. A move to a "per-app JRE will 
complicate enabling full length bit encryption", as the ASF isn't going to be 
able to ship the extended crypto JAR needed for Kerberos ad 256 bit keys.
