Course Description
Get your data to fly using Sparkfor analytics, machine learning and data science
Lets parse that.
What's Spark?
If you are an analyst or a data scientist, you'reused to having multiple systems for working with data. SQL, Python, R, Java, etc. With Spark, you have a single engine where you can explore and play with large amounts of data, run machine learning algorithms and then use the same system to productionize your code.
Analytics:
Using Spark and Python you can analyze and explore your data in an interactive environment with fast feedback. The course will show how to leverage the power of RDDs and Dataframes to manipulate data with ease.
Machine Learning and Data Science:
Spark's core functionality and built-in libraries make it easy to implement complex algorithms like Recommendations with very few lines of code. We'll cover a variety of datasets and algorithms includingPageRank, MapReduceand Graph datasets.
What's Covered:
Lot's of cool stuff ..
Music Recommendations using Alternating Least Squares and the Audioscrobbler datasetDataframes and Spark SQL to work with Twitter dataUsingthe PageRank algorithm with Google web graph datasetUsing Spark Streaming for stream processingWorking with graph data using theMarvel Social network dataset
.. and of course all the Spark basic and advanced features:
Resilient Distributed Datasets, Transformations (map, filter, flatMap), Actions (reduce, aggregate)Pair RDDs , reduceByKey, combineByKeyBroadcast and Accumulator variablesSpark for MapReduceThe Java API for SparkSpark SQL, Spark Streaming, MLlib and GraphFrames (GraphX for Python)Who this course is for:
Yep! Analysts who want to leverage Spark for analyzing interesting datasetsYep! Data Scientists who want a single engine for analyzing and modelling data as well as productionizing it. Yep! Engineers who want to use a distributed computing engine for batch or stream processing or both
