A Big Data processing engine and a Visual Analytics tool are two key ingredients that enterprises need today to make sense of their data deluge. While having a fast engine to access a variety of humongous data is necessary, that data still need to be explored and presented visually to provide value. One of the crucial things that has been missing in the Big Data landscape is an easy and fast way for analysts to visualize their big data. The good news is there is now an easy way!
In this meetup, we will learn how Spark SQL can speed up your data analytics process. Through a demo, you will learn how to connect your favorite BI tools (such as Tableau, Spotfire or even Excel) to Big Data using Spark.
This possibility should greatly simplify the life of data scientists and analysts as NO Python, Java or Scala programming will be necessary.
