This book combines a language-agnostic introduction to foundational Spark concepts with extensive programming examples using the PySpark development environment. Author Jeffrey Aven covers all aspects of Spark development, from basic programming to SparkSQL, SparkR, Spark Streaming, Messaging, NoSQL and Hadoop integration. He also covers the management of all forms of data with Spark: streaming, structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. Concise topic overviews and extensive hands-on exercises prepare you to solve real problems.
