Advanced analytics with Spark : patterns for learning from data at scale
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The authors bring Spark, statistical methods, and real-world data sets together to teach you how to approach analytics problems by presenting examples and a set of self-contained patterns for performing large-scale data analysis with Spark. You'll start with an introduction to Spark and its ecosystem, and then dive into patterns that apply common techniques-classification, collaborative filtering, and anomaly detection among others-to fields such as genomics, security, and finance. If you have an entry-level understanding of machine learning and statistics, and you program in Java, Python, or Scala, you'll find these patterns useful for working on your own data applications.
