PySpark: next generation cluster computing engine - Wisely Chen

PySpark: next generation cluster computing engine

Wisely Chen /英語(米国)

Apache Spark™ is a lightning fast engine for large-scale data processing. It is an in-memory cluster computing framework, originally developed in UC Berkeley. Base on it's project page's evaluation, machine learning programming can run program 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce. And Spark can run on Hadoop 2's YARN cluster manager, and can read any existing Hadoop data. Currently, it supports Scala, Java and Python for writing spark programs. In this talk, I will introduce the General concept of Spark's infrastructure, What is RDD (Resilient Distributed Datasets) in Spark, Introduction on PySpark, Demo of PySpark's speed and power, Head-to-head comparison between two programs doing same work - one written in Hadoop MapReduce and the other written using PySpark I will also conclude about the companies currently using Spark's use cases.
