Apache Spark for Data Science Cookbook

By: Padma Priya Chitturi

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.

Preface

Installing CaffeOnSpark


Caffe is a fully open source deep learning framework which provides access to deep architectures. The code is written in C++ with CUDA used for GPU computation and supports bindings to Python/NumPy and MATLAB. In Caffe, multimedia scientists and practitioners have an orderly and extensible toolkit for state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. It provides a complete toolkit for training, testing, fine-tuning and deploying models. It offers expressive architecture, modularity, Python and MATLAB bindings. Caffe also provides reference models for visual tasks.

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.

How to do it…

  1. Before installing CaffeOnSpark, install the caffe prerequisites as follows:

          sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev
          libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler
          sudo apt-get install...
