WARNING: This course includes activities that involve Twitter integration, using anAPITwitter has recently disabled. Following along hands-on is no longer possible for these activities, but you can still learn about streaming from watching the videos.“Big Data” analysis is a hot and highly valuable skill. Thing is, “big data"never stops flowing! Spark Streaming is a new and quickly developing technology for processing massive data sets as they are created - why wait for some nightly analysis to run when you can constantly update your analysis in real time, all the time? Whether it’s clickstream data from a big website, sensor data from a massive “Internet of Things” deployment, financial data, or something else - Spark Streaming is a powerful technology for transforming and analyzingthat data right when it is created, all the time. You’ll be learning from an ex-engineer and senior manager from Amazon and IMDb. This course gets your hands on to some real live Twitter data, simulated streams of Apache access logs, and even data used to train machine learning models! You’ll write and run real Spark Streaming jobs right at home on your own PC, and toward the end of the course, we’ll show you how to take those jobs to a real Hadoop cluster and run them in a production environment too. Across over 30 lectures and almost 6 hours of video content, you’ll: Get a crash course in the Scala programming languageLearn how ApacheSpark operates on a clusterSet up discretized streams withSpark Streaming and transform them as data is receivedUse structured streaming to stream into dataframes in real-timeAnalyze streaming data over sliding windows of timeMaintain stateful information across streams of dataConnectSparkStreaming with highly scalable sources of data, including Kafka, Flume, and KinesisDump streams of data in real-time to NoSQL databases such as CassandraRun SQL queries on streamed data in real timeTrain machine learning models in real time with streaming data, and use them to make predictions that keep getting better over timePackage, deploy, and run self-contained Spark Streaming code to a real Hadoop cluster using Amazon ElasticMapReduce. This course is filled with achievableactivities and exercises to reinforce your learning. By the end of this course, you’ll be confidently creating Spark Streaming scripts in Scala, and be prepared to tackle massive streams of data in a whole new way. You’ll be surprised at how easy Spark Streaming makes it!
