It would be so much help if I could be pointed to some good books on Spark and MLib? Further, does MLib support any algorithms for B2B cross sell/ upsell or customer retention (out of the box preferably) that I could run on my Sales force data? I am currently using Collaborative filtering but that’s essentially B2C. Thanks in advance!!
