Fast Data Processing with Spark - Second Edition

📖 The Scoop

Perform real-time analytics using Spark in a fast, distributed, and scalable way In Detail Spark is a framework used for writing fast, distributed programs. Spark solves similar problems as Hadoop MapReduce does, but with a fast in-memory approach and a clean functional style API. With its ability to integrate with Hadoop and built-in tools for interactive query analysis (Spark SQL), large-scale graph processing and analysis (GraphX), and real-time analysis (Spark Streaming), it can be interactively used to quickly process and query big datasets. Fast Data Processing with Spark - Second Edition covers how to write distributed programs with Spark. The book will guide you through every step required to write effective distributed programs from setting up your cluster and interactively exploring the API to developing analytics applications and tuning them for your purposes. What You Will Learn Install and set up Spark on your cluster Prototype distributed applications with Spark's interactive shell Learn different ways to interact with Spark's distributed representation of data (RDDs) Query Spark with a SQL-like query syntax Effectively test your distributed software Recognize how Spark works with big data Implement machine learning systems with highly scalable algorithms.
