Description

Apache Spark is amazing when the whole lot clicks. But when you haven’t seen the performance improvements you expected, or still don’t feel confident enough to make use of Spark in production, this practical book is for you. Authors Holden Karau and Rachel Warren demonstrate performance optimizations to lend a hand your Spark queries run faster and take care of larger data sizes, at the same time as the usage of fewer resources.

Ideal for software engineers, data engineers, developers, and system administrators working with large-scale data applications, this book describes techniques that may reduce data infrastructure costs and developer hours. Not only will you gain a more comprehensive understanding of Spark, you’ll also learn to make it sing.

With this book, you’ll explore:

  • How Spark SQL’s new interfaces toughen performance over SQL’s RDD data structure
  • The choice between data joins in Core Spark and Spark SQL
  • Techniques for getting the most out of standard RDD transformations
  • How to work around performance issues in Spark’s key/value pair paradigm
  • Writing high-performance Spark code without Scala or the JVM
  • How to test for functionality and performance when applying suggested improvements
  • Using Spark MLlib and Spark ML machine learning libraries
  • Spark’s Streaming components and external community packages
