SPARK-1173. Improve scala streaming docs.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Clarify imports to add implicit conversions to DStream and
fix other small typos in the streaming intro documentation.

Tested by inspecting output via a local jekyll server, c&p'ing the scala commands into a spark terminal.

First, we import the names of the Spark Streaming classes, and some implicit
conversions from StreamingContext into our environment, to add useful methods to
other classes we need (like DStream).

First, we create a
[StreamingContext](api/streaming/index.html#org.apache.spark.streaming.StreamingContext) object,
which is the main entry point for all streaming
functionality. Besides Spark's configuration, we specify that any DStream will be processed

If you plan to run the Scala code for Spark Streaming-based use cases in the Spark
shell, you should start the shell with the SparkConfiguration pre-configured to
discard old batches periodically:

{% highlight bash %}
$ SPARK_JAVA_OPTS=-Dspark.cleaner.ttl=10000 bin/spark-shell
{% endhighlight %}

... and create your StreamingContext by wrapping the existing interactive shell
SparkContext object, `sc`:

{% highlight scala %}
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sc, Seconds(1))
{% endhighlight %}

When working with the shell, you may also need to send a `^D` to your netcat session
to force the pipeline to print the word counts to the console at the sink.
