Fast Data Processing with Spark: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Fast Data Processing with Spark" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Spark is a framework for writing fast, distributed programs. Spark solves similar problems as Hadoop MapReduce does but with a fast in-memory approach and a clean functional style API. With its ability to integrate with Hadoop and inbuilt tools for interactive query analysis (Shark), large-scale graph processing and analysis (Bagel), and real-time analysis (Spark Streaming), it can be interactively used to quickly process and query big data sets. Fast Data Processing with Spark covers how to write distributed map reduce style programs with Spark. The book will guide you through every step required to write effective distributed programs from setting up your cluster and interactively exploring the API, to deploying your job to the cluster, and tuning it for your purposes.

About the Reviewers

Andrea Mostosi is a passionate software developer. He started software development in 2003 at high school with a single-node LAMP stack and grew with it by adding more languages, components, and nodes. He graduated in Milan and worked on several web-related projects. He is currently working with data, trying to discover information hidden behind huge datasets.

I would like to thank my girlfriend, Khadija, who lovingly supports me in everything I do, and the people I collaborated withfor fun or for workfor everything they taught me. I'd also like to thank Packt Publishing and its staff for the opportunity to contribute to this book.

Reynold Xin is an Apache Spark committer and the lead developer for Shark and GraphX, two computation frameworks built on top of Spark. He is also a co-founder of Databricks which works on transforming large-scale data analysis through the Apache Spark platform. Before Databricks, he was pursuing a PhD in the UC Berkeley AMPLab, the birthplace of Spark.

Aside from engineering open source projects, he frequently speaks at Big Data academic and industrial conferences on topics related to databases, distributed systems, and data analytics. He also taught Palestinian and Israeli high-school students Android programming in his spare time.

Preface

As programmers, we are frequently asked to solve problems or use data that is too much for a single machine to practically handle. Many frameworks exist to make writing web applications easier, but few exist to make writing distributed programs easier. The Spark project, which this book covers, makes it easy for you to write distributed applications in the language of your choice: Scala, Java, or Python.

What this book covers

, Installing Spark and Setting Up Your Cluster , covers how to install Spark on a variety of machines and set up a clusterranging from a local single-node deployment suitable for development work to a large cluster administered by a Chef to an EC2 cluster.

, Using the Spark Shell , gets you started running your first Spark jobs in an interactive mode. Spark shell is a useful debugging and rapid development tool and is especially handy when you are just getting started with Spark.

, Building and Running a Spark Application , covers how to build standalone jobs suitable for production use on a Spark cluster. While the Spark shell is a great tool for rapid prototyping, building standalone jobs is the way you will likely find most of your interaction with Spark to be.

, Creating a SparkContext , covers how to create a connection a Spark cluster. SparkContext is the entry point into the Spark cluster for your program.

, Loading and Saving Your Data , covers how to create and save RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets). Spark supports loading RDDs from any Hadoop data source.

, Manipulating Your RDD , covers how to do distributed work on your data with Spark. This chapter is the fun part.

, Using Spark with Hive , talks about how to set up Sharka HiveQL-compatible system with Sparkand integrate Hive queries into your Spark jobs.
