Overview of this book

This book covers case studies such as sentiment analysis on a tweet dataset, recommendations on a movielens dataset, customer segmentation on an ecommerce dataset, and graph analysis on actual flights dataset. This book is an end-to-end guide to implement analytics on big data with Java. Java is the de facto language for major big data environments, including Hadoop. This book will teach you how to perform analytics on big data with production-friendly Java. This book basically divided into two sections. The first part is an introduction that will help the readers get acquainted with big data environments, whereas the second part will contain a hardcore discussion on all the concepts in analytics on big data. It will take you from data analysis and data visualization to the core concepts and advantages of machine learning, real-life usage of regression and classification using Naïve Bayes, a deep discussion on the concepts of clustering,and a review of simple neural networks on big data using deepLearning4j or plain Java Spark code. This book is a must-have book for Java developers who want to start learning big data analytics and want to use it in the real world.

Massive graphs on big data


Big data comprises a huge amount of data distributed across a cluster of thousands (if not more) of machines. Building graphs based on this massive data has different challenges. Due to the vast amount of data involved, the data for the graph is distributed across a cluster of machines. Hence, in actuality, it's not a single node graph, and we have to build a graph that spans across a cluster of machines. A graph that spans across a cluster of machines would have vertices and edges spread across different machines, and this data in a graph won't fit into the memory of one single machine. Consider your friend's list on Facebook; some of your friend's data in your Facebook friend list graph might lie on different machines, and this data may just be tremendous in size. Look at an example diagram of a graph of 10 Facebook friends and their network, shown as follows:

As you can see in the preceding diagram, for just 10 friends the data can be huge, and here, since the...
