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

Transforming RDDs with Spark 2.0 using the filter() API


In this recipe, we explore the filter() method of RDD which is used to select a subset of the base RDD and return a new filtered RDD. The format is similar to map(), but a lambda function selects which members are to be included in the resulting RDD.

How to do it...

  1. Start a new project in IntelliJ or in an IDE of your choice. Make sure the necessary JAR files are included.
  1. Set up the package location where the program will reside:
package spark.ml.cookbook.chapter3
  1. Import the necessary packages:
import breeze.numerics.pow 
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession 
import Array._
  1. Import the packages for setting up the logging level for log4j. This step is optional, but we highly recommend it (change the level appropriately as you move through the development cycle).
import org.apache.log4j.Logger 
import org.apache.log4j.Level 
  1. Set up the logging level to warning and error to cut down on output. See the previous step for package requirements...
