[jira] [Created] (SPARK-7209) Adding new Manning book Spark in Action to the official Spark Webpage

Aleksandar Dragosavljevic created SPARK-7209:


 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.
