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.

Adding external dependencies to Zeppelin


Sooner or later, we will be depending on external libraries than that don't come bundled with Zeppelin. For instance, we might need, a library for CSV or import or RDBMS data import. Let's see how to load a MySQL database driver and visualize data from a table.

In order to load a mysql connector Java driver, we just need to specify the group ID, artifact ID, and version number, and the JAR gets downloaded from the Maven repository. %dep indicates that the paragraph adds a dependency, and the z implicit variable represents the Zeppelin context:

The only thing that we need to watch out for while using %dep is that the dependency paragraph should be used before using the libraries that are being loaded. So it is generally advised to load the dependencies at the top of the Notebook.

Once we have loaded the dependencies, we need to construct the options required to connect to the MySQL database:

We use the connection to create a DataFrame:
