Solving Analytical Problems using Apache Spark and Cassandra
This talk will explore why Spark is the most prominent solution compared to Hadoop. We will look at MapReduce and how Spark makes the creation of Big Data algorithms simple and faster. Next, we will explore Spark Context and how Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) helps establish Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG); Transformations using map and filter; Actions using collect, count, and reduce. Later we will explore the Spark Cassandra connector. We will look at Spark API and Spark SQL.
Key takeaways from this talk will be for a developer and architect to understand how Apache Spark and Apache Cassandra help implement enterprise-level analytical solutions. It is 100x faster than Hadoop!
The key takeaways from this talk will be for a developer and architects to understand:
- Start using Spark to solve computation problems like a pro
- Understand how companies are using Spark and Cassandra combination
- How Apache Spark and Apache Cassandra help in implementing enterprise-level analytical solutions.
