Taming Big Data with Apache Spark and Python – Hands On! - Apache Spark tutorial with 20+ hands-on examples of analyzing large data sets on your desktop or on Hadoop with Python!
New! Updated for Spark 3, more hands-on exercises, and a stronger focus on DataFrames and Structured Streaming. “Big data” analysis is a hot and highly valuable skill – and this course will teach you the hottest technology in big data: Apache Spark. Employers including Amazon, EBay, NASA JPL, and Yahoo all use Spark to quickly extract meaning from massive data sets across a fault-tolerant Hadoop cluster. You’ll learn those same techniques, using your own Windows system right at home. It’s easier than you might think. Learn and master the art of framing data analysis problems as Spark problems through over 20 hands-on examples, and then scale them up to run on cloud computing services in this course.
