Book Review: Learning Spark: Lightning-Fast Big Data Analytics by Holden Karau, Andy Konwinski, and Matei Zaharia: Publisher- O'Reilly: ISBN- 13: 978-1449358624
Learning
Spark: Lightning – Fast Big Data Analytics is still in Early Release phase and
will be available in Feb 2015. I have
reviewed first seven chapters of the book which are still raw but coming neat
and clean.
This
book is very good introduction for newbies to Spark which is rage in Big Data
domain. Book almost all samples in three languages – Java, Scala and Python
which makes easier for lots of people to try them out and learn Spark.
The
first chapter is just gives introduction while second chapter onward real fun
starts. Chapter 2 lets you to install Spark on your laptop. Chapters 3 to 6 talk about programming
aspects of Spark. Chapter 7 is about Spark cluster.
I
am expecting book will be good one.
