Course Summary: Advanced Data Analytics with Spark

Our Advanced Data Analytics with Spark cohort is a 4 week evening course.

Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. Spark was developed as an alternative to the traditional MapReduce processing paradigm. By using in memory storage, Spark can achieve up to 100X the speed of Hadoop MapReduce and is 10X faster when running on disk. Spark is preferred for iterative processing, which is being done by many machine learning algorithms.

Sparks runs on top of Hadoop, as a standalone platform or in the cloud. It is easy to use, fast and has a powerful stack of libraries including SQL and Dataframes. Our course will require that you have some experience programming in python.
