Introduction to Big Data analysis with Spark

The main abstraction Spark provides is a resilient distributed dataset (RDD), which is the fundamental and backbone data type of this engine. This chapter introduces RDDs and shows how RDDs can be created and executed using RDD Transformations and Actions.

Abstracting Data with RDDs

RDDs from Parallelized collections

RDDs from External Datasets

Partitions in your data

Basic RDD Transformations and Actions

Map and Collect

Filter and Count

Pair RDDs in PySpark

ReduceBykey and Collect

SortByKey and Collect

Advanced RDD Actions

CountingBykeys

Create a base RDD and transform it

Remove stop words and reduce the dataset

Print word frequencies

Programming in PySpark RDD’s

In this chapter, you'll learn about Spark SQL which is a Spark module for structured data processing. It provides a programming abstraction called DataFrames and can also act as a distributed SQL query engine. This chapter shows how Spark SQL allows you to use DataFrames in Python.

Negli ultimi anni si è parlato molto di Big Data, e ormai sono entrati nel mainstream per molte aziende. Ma cosa sono davvero i Big Data? Questo corso copre i fondamenti dei Big Data tramite PySpark. Spark è un framework di "lightning fast cluster computing" per i Big Data. Fornisce un motore generale per l’elaborazione dei dati e ti permette di eseguire programmi fino a 100 volte più veloci in memoria, o 10 volte più veloci su disco, rispetto a Hadoop. Userai PySpark, un pacchetto Python per programmare in Spark, e le sue potenti librerie di livello superiore come SparkSQL, MLlib (per il Machine Learning), ecc. Esplorerai le opere di William Shakespeare, analizzerai i dati dei Mondiali Fifa 2018 ed eseguirai il clustering su insiemi di dati genomici. Al termine del corso, avrai una comprensione approfondita di PySpark e della sua applicazione all’analisi generale dei Big Data.
