Spark in Action

The Spark distributed data processing platform provides an easy-to-implement tool for ingesting, streaming, and processing data from any source. In *Spark in Action, Second Edition*, you'll learn to take advantage of Spark's core features and incredible processing speed, with applications including real-time computation, delayed evaluation, and machine learning. Unlike many Spark books written for data scientists, *Spark in Action, Second Edition* is designed for data engineers and software engineers who want to master data processing using Spark without having to learn a complex new ecosystem of languages and tools. You'll instead learn to apply your existing Java and SQL skills to take on practical, real-world challenges. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
