This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore the core components of Apache Spark, its architecture, and its optimization. Youll become familiar with the Spark dataframe API and its components needed for data manipulation. Next, youll find out what Spark streaming is and why its important for modern data stacks, before learning about machine learning in Spark and its different use cases. Whats more, youll discover sample questions at the end of each section along with two mock exams to help you prepare for the certification exam. By the end of this book, youll know what to expect in the exam and how to pass it with enough understanding of Spark and its tools. Youll also be able to apply this knowledge in a real-world setting and take your skillset to the next level.
