Workshop: Hands on with Apache Spark
Location:
- Seacliff A
Key takeaways
Prerequisites
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, graph processing as well as complex iterative data processing. Apache Spark provides a nice abstraction of large data sets with the concept of Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDD) and elegant APIs to easily manipulate these large data sets.
This workshop will cover the core concepts in Apache Spark and will include hands on exercises with using RDD APIs to solve common data processing problems. The exercises will be done using Apache Spark Scala APIs and therefore this workshop will also cover the essential parts of Scala that are relevant to the exercises.
