Overview of this book

Big Data Analytics book aims at providing the fundamentals of Apache Spark and Hadoop. All Spark components – Spark Core, Spark SQL, DataFrames, Data sets, Conventional Streaming, Structured Streaming, MLlib, Graphx and Hadoop core components – HDFS, MapReduce and Yarn are explored in greater depth with implementation examples on Spark + Hadoop clusters. It is moving away from MapReduce to Spark. So, advantages of Spark over MapReduce are explained at great depth to reap benefits of in-memory speeds. DataFrames API, Data Sources API and new Data set API are explained for building Big Data analytical applications. Real-time data analytics using Spark Streaming with Apache Kafka and HBase is covered to help building streaming applications. New Structured streaming concept is explained with an IOT (Internet of Things) use case. Machine learning techniques are covered using MLLib, ML Pipelines and SparkR and Graph Analytics are covered with GraphX and GraphFrames components of Spark. Readers will also get an opportunity to get started with web based notebooks such as Jupyter, Apache Zeppelin and data flow tool Apache NiFi to analyze and visualize data.

Introducing Hivemall


Hivemall is a scalable machine learning library built on top of Apache Hive and Hadoop. It is a collection of machine learning algorithms that are created as User Defined Functions (UDFs) and User Defined Table Functions (UDTFs). Hivemall offers the following benefits:

  • Easy to use: Existing users of Hive can implement machine learning algorithms using the well-known Hive QL language. There is no need to compile programs and create executable jars as in MLlib or H2O. Just add UDFs or UDTFs and execute Hive queries.

  • Scalability: It provides the scalability benefits of Hadoop and Hive with additional features to provide scalability to any number of training and testing instances and also any number of features.

  • It offers a variety of algorithms including Classification, Regression, K-Means, Recommendation, Anomaly Detection, and Feature engineering.
