Overview of this book

Spark has emerged as the most promising big data analytics engine for data science professionals. The true power and value of Apache Spark lies in its ability to execute data science tasks with speed and accuracy. Spark’s selling point is that it combines ETL, batch analytics, real-time stream analysis, machine learning, graph processing, and visualizations. It lets you tackle the complexities that come with raw unstructured data sets with ease. This guide will get you comfortable and confident performing data science tasks with Spark. You will learn about implementations including distributed deep learning, numerical computing, and scalable machine learning. You will be shown effective solutions to problematic concepts in data science using Spark’s data science libraries such as MLLib, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and more. These simple and efficient recipes will show you how to implement algorithms and optimize your work.

Sampling data

In this recipe, we will see how to generate sample data from the entire population.

Getting ready

To step through this recipe, you need Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux flavor) installed on the machine. Also, have Apache Hadoop 2.6 and Apache Spark 1.6.0 installed. Readers are expected to have knowledge of sampling techniques.

How to do it…

Let's take an example of load prediction data. Here is what the sample data looks like:

Note

Download the data from the following location https://github.com/ChitturiPadma/datasets/blob/master/Loan_Prediction_Data.csv.

Here is the code for sampling data from a DataFrame:

      import org.apache.spark._ 
      import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext 
      import org.apache.spark.sql.types.{StructType,
      StringType,DoubleType, StructField} 
     
      object Sampling_Demo { 
        def main(args:Array[String]): Unit = { 
          val conf = new SparkConf() 
            .setMaster("spark://master:7077") 
    ...
