Re: distributed computation of median
Do you know of any python implementation for the same? thanks pavan On 4/17/17, 9:54 AM, svjk24 wrote: Hello, Is there any interest in an efficient distributed computation of the median algorithm?

Re: distributed computation of median
Also q-tree is implemented in algebird, not hard to get it going in spark. That is another probabilistic data structure that is useful for this.

Re: distributed computation of median
The DataFrame API includes an approximate quartile implementation. If you ask for quantile 0.5, you will get approximate median.

Re: distributed computation of median
Have you looked at t-digests? Calculating percentiles (including medians) is something that is inherently difficult/inefficient to do in a distributed system. T-digests provide a useful probabilistic structure to allow you to compute any percentile with a known (and tunable) margin of error. https://github.com/tdunning/t-digest -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/distributed-computation-of-median-tp21356p21357.html Sent from the Apache Spark Developers List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org
distributed computation of median
Hello, Is there any interest in an efficient distributed computation of the median algorithm? A google search pulls some stackoverflow discussion but it would be good to have one provided. I have an implementation (that could be improved) from the paper " Fast Computation of the Median by Successive Binning": https://github.com/4d55397500/medianbinning Thanks-
