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.

Chapter 3. Data Visualization

It's easier to analyze your data once you can view it. Viewing data requires putting your data points in charts or graphs that you can visualize and figure out the various details. You can also generate charts/graphs after running your analytic logic. This way you can visualize your analytical results as well. As a Java developer you have lots of open source tools at your disposal that you can use for visualizing your data and the results.

In this chapter we will cover:

  • Six types of charts and their general use and concepts

  • Sample datasets used in building the charts

  • Brief JFreeChart introduction

  • An example of each type of chart using the JFreeChart and Apache Spark API on big data
