Apache Spark, a significant component in the Hadoop Ecosystem, is a cluster computing engine used in Big Data. Building on top of the Hadoop YARN and HDFS ecosystem, it offers order-of-magnitude faster processing for many in-memory computing tasks compared to Map/Reduce. It can be programmed in Java, Scala, Python, and R - the favorite languages of Data Scientists - along with SQL-based front ends. With advanced libraries like Mahout and MLib for Machine Learning, GraphX or Neo4J for rich data graph processing as well as access to other NOSQL data stores, Rule engines and other Enterprise components, Spark is a lynchpin in modern Big Data and Data Science computing.
Geared for experienced developers, Introduction to Apache Spark for Big Data & Machine Learning provides students with a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of enterprise-grade Spark programming, interacting with the significant components mentioned above to craft complete data science solutions. Students will leave this course armed with the skills they require to begin working with Spark in a practical, real world environment.
This course is offered in support of the Python programming language but can also be offered for R or Java with advance notice and planning. Our team will work with you to coordinate the languages, tools and environment that will work best for your organization and needs. Please inquire for details.
NOTE: Students wanting more depth and intermediate and beyond level Spark Developer for Big Data topics and labs might consider the TTSK7505 Developing with Spark for Big Data | Enterprise-Grade Spark Programming for the Hadoop & Big Data Ecosystem five day superset of this course.
This “skills-centric” course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core big data/ Spark development and use skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Throughout the course students will be led through a series of progressively advanced topics, where each topic consists of lecture, group discussion, comprehensive hands-on lab exercises, and lab review.
This course provides indoctrination in the practical use of the umbrella of technologies that are on the leading edge of data science development focused on Spark and related tools. Working in a hands-on learning environment, students will explore:
