Description
Summary
Spark GraphX in Action starts out with an overview of Apache Spark and the GraphX graph processing API. This example-based tutorial then teaches you configure GraphX and use it interactively. Along the way, You can collect practical techniques for enhancing applications and applying machine learning algorithms to graph data.
Purchase of the print book features a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
GraphX is a powerful graph processing API for the Apache Spark analytics engine that permits you to draw insights from large datasets. GraphX will give you unprecedented speed and capacity for running massively parallel and machine learning algorithms.
About the Book
Spark GraphX in Action begins with the big picture of what graphs can be utilized for. This example-based tutorial teaches you use GraphX interactively. You can start with a crystal-clear introduction to building big data graphs from regular data, and then explore the problems and probabilities of implementing graph algorithms and architecting graph processing pipelines. Along the way, You can collect practical techniques for enhancing applications and applying machine learning algorithms to graph data.
