Overview of this book

Apache Spark is an in-memory, cluster-based data processing system that provides a wide range of functionalities such as big data processing, analytics, machine learning, and more. With this Learning Path, you can take your knowledge of Apache Spark to the next level by learning how to expand Spark's functionality and building your own data flow and machine learning programs on this platform. You will work with the different modules in Apache Spark, such as interactive querying with Spark SQL, using DataFrames and datasets, implementing streaming analytics with Spark Streaming, and applying machine learning and deep learning techniques on Spark using MLlib and various external tools. By the end of this elaborately designed Learning Path, you will have all the knowledge you need to master Apache Spark, and build your own big data processing and analytics pipeline quickly and without any hassle. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Apache Spark 2.x by Romeo Kienzler • Scala and Spark for Big Data Analytics by Md. Rezaul Karim, Sridhar Alla • Apache Spark 2.x Machine Learning Cookbook by Siamak Amirghodsi, Meenakshi Rajendran, Broderick Hall, Shuen MeiCookbook

Using the Scala Breeze library to do graphics in Spark 2.0


In this recipe, we will use the functions scatter() and plot() from the Scala Breeze linear algebra library (part of) to draw a scatter plot from a two-dimensional data. Once the results are computed on the Spark cluster, either the actionable data can be used in the driver for drawing or a JPEG or GIF can be generated in the backend and pushed forward for efficiency and speed (popular with GPU-based analytical databases such as MapD)

How to do it...

  1. First, we need to download the necessary ScalaNLP library. Download the JAR from the Maven repository available at https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scalanlp/breeze-viz_2.11/0.12/breeze-viz_2.11-0.12.jar.
  1. Place the JAR in the C:\spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7\examples\jars directory on a Windows machine:
  2. In macOS, please put the JAR in its correct path. For our setting examples, the path is /Users/USERNAME/spark/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7/examples/jars/.
  3. The following is the sample screenshot...
