Hands-on Introduction to Spark & Zeppelin

Join us for an intro and overview of Apache Spark (http://spark.apache.org/), SparkSQL and Spark Streaming using Apache Zeppelin notebooks.

We will briefly cover Spark RDDs and then focus on Spark SQL DataFrames. We will use an interactive Zeppelin notebook to analyze and visualize an airline dataset with Spark SQL. Finally, we will write and run a simple Spark Streaming application.

We will use basic Scala syntax in our Spark SQL applications. If you would like to learn more about Scala here's an excellent resource: http://www.dhgarrette.com/nlpclass/scala/basics.html
