About this Course

The speed, expanded versatility, and new access to powerful APIs and libraries make Apache Spark the undisputed new toolset for powering big data solutions with distributed cluster computing. Also, for the first time ever Spark gives applications the ability to support serious data science capabilities with R-type dataframes and big data streaming to overcome time constraints.

Audience Profile

Primary audience for this course are:

  • Developers and Team Leads
  • Software Engineers
  • Business Analysts
  • System Analysts
  • Data Analysts and Scientists
  • Data Scientists
  • Operations and DevOps Engineers
  • JAVA Developers
  • Big Data Engineers

At Course Completion

  • We will explore Apache Spark, how it came into existence, how it compares with Apache Hadoop – currently the de facto big data standard – and the new use cases that can be realized with Apache Spark as well as how your current use cases can be made more performant and powerful.
  • We will also look at Apache Spark’s Streaming Architecture which can help realize most of the real time-constrained needs of your business. We will also explore Apache Spark’s SQL Architecture which provides very fast migration from traditional slower analytical tools like Hive to SparkSQL.
  • We will spend some time on Apache Spark ML/ML Lib which provide a total integrated Architecture with both real-time and batch analytics.
  • Finally, we will also look at Apache Spark GraphX which deals with Graph Algorithms.

Prequisites

Labs can be accessed by everyone using the cloud environment set up by the instructor. Participation is not mandatory; if they prefer, attendees can simply observe the instructor perform the lab example. Scala/Python are a nice to have skill to better understand what is being done in the Labs.
