Tutorial: Hands on with Apache Spark

Apache Spark is a new and exciting open source data processing engine and it is deemed as the next-generation successor of MapReduce. It was designed from the ground up to support streaming data processing as well as complex iterative algorithms. Apache Spark provides a nice abstraction of large sets with the concept of Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDD) and provides elegant APIs to easily manipulate these data sets. This tutorial will introduce the core concepts in Apache Spark and will include hands on exercises for using RDD APIs to solve common data processing problems. Target Audience: Architect and software engineers interested in big data processing
