Book Description

Spark is one of the most widely-used large-scale data processing engines and runs extremely fast. It is a framework that has tools that are equally useful for application developers as well as data scientists.

This book starts with the fundamentals of Spark 2 and covers the core data processing framework and API, installation, and application development setup. Then the Spark programming model is introduced through real-world examples followed by Spark SQL programming with DataFrames. An introduction to SparkR is covered next. Later, we cover the charting and plotting features of Python in conjunction with Spark data processing. After that, we take a look at Sparks stream processing, machine learning, and graph processing libraries. The last chapter combines all the skills you learned from the preceding chapters to develop a real-world Spark application.

By the end of this book, you will have all the knowledge you need to develop efficient large-scale applications using Apache Spark.

Preface

The data processing framework named Spark was first built to prove that, by re-using the data sets across a number of iterations, it provided value where Hadoop MapReduce jobs performed poorly. The research paper Mesos: A Platform for Fine-Grained Resource Sharing in the Data Center talks about the philosophy behind the design of Spark. A very simplistic reference implementation built to test Mesos by the University of California Berkeley researchers has grown far and beyond to become a full blown data processing framework later became one of the most active Apache projects. It is designed from the ground up to do distributed data processing on clusters such as Hadoop, Mesos, and in standalone mode. Spark is a JVM-based data processing framework and hence it works on most operating systems that support JVM-based applications. Spark is widely installed on UNIX and Mac OS X, platforms and Windows adoption is increasing.

Spark provides a unified programming model using the programming languages Scala, Java, Python and R. In other words, irrespective of the language used to program Spark applications, the API remains almost the same in all the languages. In this way, organizations can adopt Spark and develop applications in their programming language of choice. This also enables fast porting of Spark applications from one language to another without much effort, if there is a need. Most of Spark is developed using Scala and because of that the Spark programming model inherently supports functional programming principles. The most basic Spark data abstraction is the resilient distributed data set (RDD), based on which all the other libraries are built. The RDD-based Spark programming model is the lowest level where developers can build data processing applications.
