Geni (/gÉśni/ or "gurney" without the r) is a Clojure dataframe library that runs on Apache Spark. The name means "fire" in Javanese.
Geni provides an idiomatic Spark interface for Clojure without the hassle of Java or Scala interop. Geni uses Clojure's -> threading macro as the main way to compose Spark's Dataset and Column operations in place of the usual method chaining in Scala. It also provides a greater degree of dynamism by allowing args of mixed types such as columns, strings and keywords in a single function invocation. See the docs section on Geni semantics for more details.
All examples below use the Statlib California housing prices data available for free on Kaggle.

Install the geni script to /usr/local/bin with:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zero-one-group/geni/develop/scripts/geni
chmod a+x geni
sudo mv geni /usr/local/bin/The command geni downloads the latest Geni uberjar and places it in ~/.geni/geni-repl-uberjar.jar, and runs it with java -jar.
Download the latest Geni REPL uberjar from the release page. Run the uberjar as follows:
java -jar <uberjar-name>The uberjar app prints the default SparkSession instance, starts an nREPL server with an .nrepl-port file for easy text-editor connection and steps into a Clojure REPL(-y).
Use Leiningen to create a template of a Geni project:
lein new geni <project-name>cd into the project directory and do lein run. The templated app runs a Spark ML example, and then steps into a Clojure REPL-y with an .nrepl-port file.

Add the following to your project.clj dependency:
You would also need to add Spark as provided dependencies. For instance, have the following key-value pair for the :profiles map:

When the optional dependencies are not present, the vars to the corresponding functions (such as ml/xgboost-classifier) will be left unbound.
