Anyone who is using Spark (or is planning to) will benefit from this book. The book assumes you have a basic knowledge of Scala as a programming language.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall and configure Apache Spark with various cluster managers \u0026amp; on AWS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up a development environment for Apache Spark including Databricks Cloud notebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how to operate on data in Spark with schemas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet to grips with real-time streaming analytics using Spark Streaming \u0026amp; Structured Streaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster supervised learning and unsupervised learning using MLlib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild a recommendation engine using MLlib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraph processing using GraphX and GraphFrames libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop a set of common applications or project types, and solutions that solve complex big data problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eWhile Apache Spark 1.x gained a lot of traction and adoption in the early years, Spark 2.x delivers notable improvements in the areas of API, schema awareness, Performance, Structured Streaming, and simplifying building blocks to build better, faster, smarter, and more accessible big data applications. This book uncovers all these features in the form of structured recipes to analyze and mature large and complex sets of data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with installing and configuring Apache Spark with various cluster managers, you will learn to set up development environments. Further on, you will be introduced to working with RDDs, DataFrames and Datasets to operate on schema aware data, and real-time streaming with various sources such as Twitter Stream and Apache Kafka. You will also work through recipes on machine learning, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning \u0026amp; recommendation engines in Spark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast but not least, the final few chapters delve deeper into the concepts of graph processing using GraphX, securing your implementations, cluster optimization, and troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis book is packed with intuitive recipes supported with line-by-line explanations to help you understand Spark 2.x's real-time processing capabilities and deploy scalable big data solutions.
