hadoop - How do I run graphx with Python / pyspark?

Question

I am attempting to run Spark graphx with Python using pyspark. My installation appears correct, as I am able to run the pyspark tutorials and the (Java) GraphX tutorials just fine. Presumably since GraphX is part of Spark, pyspark should be able to interface it, correct?

Here are the tutorials for pyspark: http://spark.apache.org/docs/0.9.0/quick-start.html http://spark.apache.org/docs/0.9.0/python-programming-guide.html

Here are the ones for GraphX: http://spark.apache.org/docs/0.9.0/graphx-programming-guide.html http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/big-data-mini-course/graph-analytics-with-graphx.html

Can anyone convert the GraphX tutorial to be in Python?

Answer 1

It looks like the python bindings to GraphX are delayed at least to Spark 1.4 1.5 ∞. It is waiting behind the Java API.

You can track the status at SPARK-3789 GRAPHX Python bindings for GraphX - ASF JIRA
