Spark can help. It is a processing system designed specifically for distributed data. It provides easy-to-use interfaces, along with the performance you need for production-quality analytics and machine learning. Spark 2 also adds improved programming APIs, better performance, and countless other upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpark in Action\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you the theory and skills you need to effectively handle batch and streaming data using Spark. You'll get comfortable with the Spark CLI as you work through a few introductory examples. Then, you'll start programming Spark using its core APIs. Along the way, you'll work with structured data using Spark SQL, process near-real-time streaming data, apply machine learning algorithms, and munge graph data using Spark GraphX. For a zero-effort startup, you can download the preconfigured virtual machine ready for you to try the book's code. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated for Spark 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-life case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark DevOps with Docker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples in Scala, and online in Java and Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for experienced programmers with some background in big data or machine learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePetar Zečević\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eMarko Bonaći\u003c\/b\u003e are seasoned developers heavily involved in the Spark community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePART 1 - FIRST STEPS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Apache Spark \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark fundamentals \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting Spark applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Spark API in depth \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePART 2 - MEET THE SPARK FAMILY \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eSparkling queries with Spark SQL \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngesting data with Spark Streaming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting smart with MLlib \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eML: classification and clustering \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting the dots with GraphX \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePART 3 - SPARK OPS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eRunning Spark \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning on a Spark standalone cluster \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning on YARN and Mesos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePART 4 - BRINGING IT TOGETHER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003eCase study: real-time dashboard \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep learning on Spark with H2O \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Manning Publications Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057718345968,"sku":"9781617292606","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781617292606_p0.jpg?v=1763852668","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781617292606","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
