Ever wished Spark was a easy-to-use web service and could manage your Spark jobs? Ooyala's open-source Spark Job Server offers a RESTful API for managing Spark jobs, jars, and contexts, turning Spark into an easy-to-use service, and offering a uniform API for all jobs. I will talk about the job server, its APIs, current and upcoming features in much greater detail.

Learn how the Spark Job Server can turn Spark into a easy to use service for your organization. As a developer, learn how the job server can let you focus on the job algorithm instead of on nitty gritty infrastructure details.
