Overview of this book

Big Data Analytics book aims at providing the fundamentals of Apache Spark and Hadoop. All Spark components – Spark Core, Spark SQL, DataFrames, Data sets, Conventional Streaming, Structured Streaming, MLlib, Graphx and Hadoop core components – HDFS, MapReduce and Yarn are explored in greater depth with implementation examples on Spark + Hadoop clusters. It is moving away from MapReduce to Spark. So, advantages of Spark over MapReduce are explained at great depth to reap benefits of in-memory speeds. DataFrames API, Data Sources API and new Data set API are explained for building Big Data analytical applications. Real-time data analytics using Spark Streaming with Apache Kafka and HBase is covered to help building streaming applications. New Structured streaming concept is explained with an IOT (Internet of Things) use case. Machine learning techniques are covered using MLLib, ML Pipelines and SparkR and Graph Analytics are covered with GraphX and GraphFrames components of Spark. Readers will also get an opportunity to get started with web based notebooks such as Jupyter, Apache Zeppelin and data flow tool Apache NiFi to analyze and visualize data.

Introducing GraphFrames


While the GraphX framework is based on the RDD API, GraphFrames is an external Spark package built on top of the DataFrames API. It inherits the performance advantages of DataFrames using the catalyst optimizer. It can be used in the Java, Scala, and Python programming languages. GraphFrames provides additional functionalities over GraphX such as motif finding, DataFrame-based serialization, and graph queries. GraphX does not provide the Python API, but GraphFrames exposes the Python API as well.

It is easy to get started with GraphFrames. On a Spark 2.0 cluster, let's start a Spark shell with the packages option using the same data used to create the graph in the Creating a graph section of this chapter:

$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell --packages graphframes:graphframes:0.2.0-spark2.0-s_2.11

import org.graphframes._

val vertex = spark.createDataFrame(List(
    ("1","Jacob",48),
    ("2","Jessica",45),
    ("3","Andrew",25),
    ("4","Ryan",53),
    ("5","Emily",22)...
