Book HDPSCD Hortonworks   Spark Scala Certification Guide

Download or read book HDPSCD Hortonworks Spark Scala Certification Guide written by Rashmi Shah and published by HadoopExam Learning Resources. This book was released on with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apache® Spark is one of the fastest growing technology in BigData computing world. It supports multiple programming languages like Java, Scala, Python and R. Hence, many existing and new framework started to integrate Spark platform as well in their platform e.g. Hadoop, Cassandra, EMR etc. While creating Spark certification material HadoopExam technical team found that there is no proper material and book is available for the Spark (version 2.x) which covers the concepts as well as use of various features and found difficulty in creating the material. Therefore, they decided to create full length book for Spark (HDPSCD Spark Scala Certification) and outcome of that is this book. In this book technical team try to cover both fundamental concepts of Spark 2.x topics which are part of the certification syllabus as well as add as many exercises as possible and in current version we have around 10 hands on exercises added which you can execute on the Hortonworks sandbox, as this book is focused on the Scala version of the certification, hence all the exercises and their solution provided in the Scala. We have divided the entire book in the 7 chapters, as you move ahead chapter by chapter you would be comfortable with the HDPSCD Spark Scala certification. All the exercises given in this book are written using Scala. However, concepts remain same even if you are using different programming language.

  • Pages : 471 pages

Download or read book Hadoop in Action written by Chuck Lam and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadoop in Action teaches readers how to use Hadoop and write MapReduce programs. The intended readers are programmers, architects, and project managers who have to process large amounts of data offline. Hadoop in Action will lead the reader from obtaining a copy of Hadoop to setting it up in a cluster and writing data analytic programs. The book begins by making the basic idea of Hadoop and MapReduce easier to grasp by applying the default Hadoop installation to a few easy-to-follow tasks, such as analyzing changes in word frequency across a body of documents. The book continues through the basic concepts of MapReduce applications developed using Hadoop, including a close look at framework components, use of Hadoop for a variety of data analysis tasks, and numerous examples of Hadoop in action. Hadoop in Action will explain how to use Hadoop and present design patterns and practices of programming MapReduce. MapReduce is a complex idea both conceptually and in its implementation, and Hadoop users are challenged to learn all the knobs and levers for running Hadoop. This book takes you beyond the mechanics of running Hadoop, teaching you to write meaningful programs in a MapReduce framework. This book assumes the reader will have a basic familiarity with Java, as most code examples will be written in Java. Familiarity with basic statistical concepts (e.g. histogram, correlation) will help the reader appreciate the more advanced data processing examples. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

In training we have created concepts as well as practicals by creating simple and complex problems with the use of Spark framework API. While publishing this book there are 32 modules available, which are in-line with Spark technology to be used on Hadoop Framework.As you know, Spark is one the most popular computing framework used and very well integrate with the Hadoop framework. You can see previously professionals were using MapReduce framework as a computing engine, but since Spark developed it is almost replaced by Spark engine, because Spark can give you rich API as well as it do most of the time data processing by having data in memory. Having data in-memory can save lot of disk I/O and drastically improve the performanced of submitted application. If you see now a days IOT and Machine learning are catching up and most of the professional started using higher level API created using Spark framework like MLib, Graphx etc. Spark technology is now a days an exclusive skill, which most of developer want to learn.
