• Use different tools and techniques for big data analysis using PySpark.

This training provides a practical introduction to building scalable data processing and Machine Learning workflows using PySpark. Participants learn how Apache Spark operates within modern Big Data ecosystems and how to efficiently process large datasets using distributed computing principles.

This instructor-led, live training in Waterloo (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to set up and deploy Apache Spark system for processing very large amounts of data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Spark.
• Quickly process and analyze very large data sets.
• Understand the difference between Apache Spark and Hadoop MapReduce and when to use which.
• Integrate Apache Spark with other machine learning tools.

Apache Spark's learning curve is slowly increasing at the begining, it needs a lot of effort to get the first return. This course aims to jump through the first tough part. After taking this course the participants will understand the basics of Apache Spark , they will clearly differentiate RDD from DataFrame, they will learn Python and Scala API, they will understand executors and tasks, etc.  Also following the best practices, this course strongly focuses on cloud deployment, Databricks and AWS. The students will also understand the differences between AWS EMR and AWS Glue, one of the lastest Spark service of AWS.  

AUDIENCE:

Data Engineer, DevOps, Data Scientist

Spark SQL is Apache Spark's module for working with structured and unstructured data. Spark SQL provides information about the structure of the data as well as the computation being performed. This information can be used to perform optimizations. Two common uses for Spark SQL are:
- to execute SQL queries.
- to read data from an existing Hive installation.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to analyze various types of data sets using Spark SQL.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Spark SQL.
• Perform data analysis using Spark SQL.
• Query data sets in different formats.
• Visualize data and query results.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
