Summary: Adding new Manning book "Spark in Action" to the official
Spark Webpage
Key: SPARK-7209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7209
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Task
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Aleksandar Dragosavljevic
Priority: Minor
Manning Publications is developing a book Spark in Action written by Marko
Bonaci and Petar Zecevic (http://www.manning.com/bonaci) and it would be great
if the book could be added to the list of books at the official Spark Webpage
(https://spark.apache.org/documentation.html).
This book teaches readers to use Spark for stream and batch data processing. It
starts with an introduction to the Spark architecture and ecosystem followed by
a taste of Spark's command line interface. Readers then discover the most
fundamental concepts and abstractions of Spark, particularly Resilient
Distributed Datasets (RDDs) and the basic data transformations that RDDs
provide. The first part of the book also introduces you to writing Spark
applications using the the core APIs. Next, you learn about different Spark
components: how to work with structured data using Spark SQL, how to process
near-real time data with Spark Streaming, how to apply machine learning
algorithms with Spark MLlib, how to apply graph algorithms on graph-shaped data
using Spark GraphX, and a clear introduction to Spark clustering.
The book is already available to the public as a part of our Manning Early
Access Program (MEAP) where we deliver chapters to the public as soon as they
are written. We believe it will offer significant support to the Spark users
and the community.
