Thanks for using Cascading.
Cascading 3 includes a few major changes and additions from prior major releases:
- Complete re-write of the platform query planner and improvements to the planner API
- Addition of Apache Tez as a supported runtime platform
- Changes to the Tap/Scheme generic type signatures to support portability
These changes hope to simplify the creation of new bindings to new platform implementations and to improve the performance of resulting applications.
For project documentation and community support, visit: cascading.org
To download a pre-built distribution, visit http://cascading.org/downloads/, or use Maven (described below).
The project includes nine Cascading jar files:
cascading-core-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Core class filescascading-xml-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading XML operations class filescascading-expression-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Janino expression operations class filescascading-local-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Local in-memory mode class filescascading-hadoop-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Hadoop 1.x MapReduce mode class filescascading-hadoop2-io-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Hadoop 2.x HDFS and IO related class filescascading-hadoop2-mr1-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Hadoop 2.x MapReduce mode class filescascading-hadoop2-tez-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Hadoop 2.x Tez mode class filescascading-hadoop2-tez-stats-x.y.z.jar- all Cascading Tez YARN timeline server class files
These class jars, along with, tests, source and javadoc jars, are all available via the Conjars.org Maven repository.
Hadoop 1.x mode is where the Cascading application should run on a Hadoop MapReduce cluster.
Hadoop 2.x MR1 mode is the same as above but for Hadoop 2.x releases.
Hadoop 2.x Tez mode is where the Cascading application should run on an Apache Tez DAG cluster.
Local mode is where the Cascading application will run locally in memory without any Hadoop dependencies or cluster distribution. This implementation has minimal to no robustness in low memory situations, by design.
As of Cascading 3.x, all above jar files are built against Java 1.7. Prior versions of Cascading are built against Java 1.6.
There are a number of projects based on and extensions to Cascading available.
Visit the Cascading Extensions page for a current list.
Or download the Cascading SDK which includes many pre-built binaries.
Of note are three top level projects:
- Fluid - A fluent Java API for Cascading that is compatible with the default API.
- Lingual - ANSI SQL and JDBC on Cascading
- Pattern - Machine Learning scoring and PMML support with Cascading
And alternative languages:
And a third-party computing platform:
- Apache Flink - Faster than MapReduce cluster computing
Cascading stable releases are always of the form x.y.z, where z is the current maintenance release.
x.y.z releases are maintenance releases. No public incompatible API changes will be made, but in an effort to fix
bugs, remediation may entail throwing new Exceptions.
x.y releases are minor releases. New features are added. No public incompatible API changes will be made on the
core processing APIs (Pipes, Functions, etc), but in an effort to resolve inconsistencies, minor semantic changes may be
necessary.
It is important to note that we do reserve to make breaking changes to the new query planner API through the 3.x releases. This allows us to respond to bugs and performance issues without issuing new major releases. Cascading 4.0 will keep the public query planner APIs stable.
The source and tags for all stable releases can be found here: https://github.com/Cascading/cascading
WIP (work in progress) releases are fully tested builds of code not yet deemed fully stable. On every build by our continuous integration servers, the WIP build number is increased. Successful builds are then tagged and published.
The WIP releases are always of the form x.y.z-wip-n, where x.y.z will be the next stable release version the WIP
releases are leading up to. n is the current successfully tested build.
The source, working branches, and tags for all WIP releases can be found here: https://github.com/cwensel/cascading
Or downloaded from here: http://cascading.org/wip/
When a WIP is deemed stable and ready for production use, it will be published as a x.y.z release, and made
available from the http://cascading.org/downloads/ page.
Comprehensive tests should be written against the cascading.PlatformTestCase.
When running tests built against the PlatformTestCase, the local cluster can be disabled (if enabled by the test) by setting:
-Dtest.cluster.enabled=false
From Gradle, to run a single test case:
> gradle :cascading-hadoop2-mr1:platformTest --tests=*.FieldedPipesPlatformTest -i
or a single test method:
> gradle :cascading-hadoop2-mr1:platformTest --tests=*.FieldedPipesPlatformTest.testNoGroup -i
The new 3.0 planner has a much improved debugging framework.
When running tests, set the following
-Dtest.traceplan.enabled=true
If you are on Mac OS X and have installed GraphViz, dot files can be converted to pdf on the fly. To enable, set:
-Dutil.dot.to.pdf.enabled=true
Optionally, for stand alone applications, statistics and tracing can be enabled selectively with the following properties:
cascading.planner.stats.path- outputs detailed statistics on time spent by the plannercascading.planner.plan.path- basic planner informationcascading.planner.plan.transforms.path- detailed information for each rule
See CONTRIBUTING.md at https://github.com/Cascading/cascading.
It is strongly recommended developers pull Cascading from our Maven compatible jar repository Conjars.org.
You can find the latest public and WIP (work in progress) releases here:

When creating tests, make sure to add any of the relevant above dependencies to your test scope or equivalent
configuration along with the cascading-platform dependency.
Note the cascading-platform compile dependency has no classes, you must pull the tests dependency with the
tests classifier.
See http://cascading.org/downloads/#maven for example Maven pom dependency settings.
Source and Javadoc artifacts (using the appropriate classifier) are also available through Conjars.
Note that cascading-hadoop, cascading-hadoop2-mr1, and cascading-hadoop2-tez have a provided dependency on the
Hadoop jars so that it won't get sucked into any application packaging as a dependency, typically.
For most cases, building Cascading is unnecessary as it has been pre-built, tested, and published to our Maven repository (above).
To build Cascading, run the following in the shell:
> git clone https://github.com/cascading/cascading.git
> cd cascading
> gradle buildCascading requires at least Gradle 2.7 and Java 1.7 to build.
To use an IDE like IntelliJ, run the following to create IntelliJ project files:
> gradle ideaSimilarly for Eclipse:
> gradle eclipseFirst confirm you are using a supported version of Apache Hadoop by checking the Compatibility page.
To use Cascading with Hadoop, we suggest stuffing cascading-core and cascading-hadoop2-mr1, jar files and all
third-party libs into the lib folder of your job jar and executing your job via
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop jar your.jar <your args>.
For example, your job jar would look like this (via: jar -t your.jar)
/<all your class and resource files>
/lib/cascading-core-x.y.z.jar
/lib/cascading-hadoop2-mr1-x.y.z.jar
/lib/cascading-hadoop2-io-x.y.z.jar
/lib/cascading-expression-x.y.z.jar
/lib/<cascading third-party jar files>Hadoop will unpack the jar locally and remotely (in the cluster) and add any libraries in lib to the classpath. This
is a feature specific to Hadoop.
