DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://nosql2015.dataversity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=90&proposalid=7870\nApache Spark is emerging as the next Big Data platform. Compared to Hadoop MapReduce, Spark is easier to use and offers a flexible compute model. Spark’s popularity is due the fact that it excels in in-memory computations (many times faster than MapReduce). Spark’s stream processing capability also makes it a very good fit for processing ‘Connected Devices or Internet of Things (IoT)’ data.\nThis workshop will introduce Spark concepts and teach how to use Spark by working on hands-on labs. The intended audience is developers and technical architects.\nStudents will be provided a Spark environment running on cloud for the duration of class.   If students want to keep working on Spark on their own, it is highly recommended that they bring their own Spark environment.\nDownload Spark from here : http://spark.apache.org/
