Abstract
This two-day course introduces experienced developers and architects to Apache Spark™. Developers will be enabled to build real-world, high-speed, real-time analytics systems. This course has extensive hands-on examples. The idea is introduce key concepts that make Apache Spark™ such an important technology. This course should prepare architects, development managers, and developers to understand the possibilities with Apache Spark™.

Apache Spark is a fast growing library and framework that enables advances data analytics with its open source cluster computing system. Apache Spark's rapid success is due to its power and simplicity. It is productive and much faster than the typical MapReduce based analysis. It puts the power of Hadoop, BigData and realtime analytics into the hands of mere mortal developers.

Spark supports Scala, Java and Python. The course will have examples in all three environments including using REPL for Python and Scala. In addition of full labs in Scala, Java and Python. This course covers Spark SQL, Spark Streaming with and introduction to GraphX and ML. Spark is enabling the next generation of OLAP which includes realtime analytics at scale. Your company can't afford to left behind this critical advance in Information Technology.
Duration

2 days.
