Overview of this book

Scala has been observing wide adoption over the past few years, especially in the field of data science and analytics. Spark, built on Scala, has gained a lot of recognition and is being used widely in productions. Thus, if you want to leverage the power of Scala and Spark to make sense of big data, this book is for you. The first part introduces you to Scala, helping you understand the object-oriented and functional programming concepts needed for Spark application development. It then moves on to Spark to cover the basic abstractions using RDD and DataFrame. This will help you develop scalable and fault-tolerant streaming applications by analyzing structured and unstructured data using SparkSQL, GraphX, and Spark structured streaming. Finally, the book moves on to some advanced topics, such as monitoring, configuration, debugging, testing, and deployment. You will also learn how to develop Spark applications using SparkR and PySpark APIs, interactive data analytics using Zeppelin, and in-memory data processing with Alluxio. By the end of this book, you will have a thorough understanding of Spark, and you will be able to perform full-stack data analytics with a feel that no amount of data is too big.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The next lines of code read the link and assign it to the to the BeautifulSoup function."

A block of code is set as follows:

package com.chapter11.SparkMachineLearning
import org.apache.spark.mllib.feature.StandardScalerModel
import org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.{ Vector, Vectors }
import org.apache.spark.sql.{ DataFrame }
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

val spark = SparkSession
.builder
.master("local[*]")
.config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "E:/Exp/")
.config("spark.kryoserializer.buffer.max", "1024m")
.appName("OneVsRestExample")
.getOrCreate()

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$./bin/spark-submit --class com.chapter11.RandomForestDemo \
--master spark://ip-172-31-21-153.us-west-2.compute:7077 \
--executor-memory 2G \
--total-executor-cores 2 \
file:///home/KMeans-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar \
file:///home/mnist.bz2

New termsand important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen."
