Apache
Spark is an Open Source and unified analytics engine for
large-scale data processing. Apache Spark is being used by
industry wide for programming clusters with implicit data
parallelism and fault tolerance. Spark is maintained by
Apache Software Foundation and its first release was done in May
2014 and since Spark 1.x to Spark 3.x there are various new
features got added to improve performance and usability. If you
have worked with Spark 1.x then you certainly had written your
program using RDD, which was a very complex read only data
structure. Now no programmer use RDD and it is advised to avoid
until and unless there is an absolute need. This particular
certification focuses Spark 3.x+ version and solving problem
statements using Scala programming language. Apache Spark can
run on all three platforms Windows, MacOs and Linux. Hence, you
can deploy on your local machine and within a couple of hours,
you can become productive. As part of training, you dont have to
setup Spark environment, rather you will be provided a Spark
Cluster Link, which you can use to Run all the exercises will go
through during training courses, and even required dataset also
provided. Hence, you dont have any burden of env setup, use
QuickTechie Lab for your exercise.
Apache
Spark has opened a Whole New world for the BigData and Stream
processing. Big industry giant already have started using Spark
(Scala) or PySpark and made it till production to process huge
volume of data in real time as well as in batch and applying
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithm on that.
Apache Spark calls for techies and individuals, whether
experienced or just embarking career and who want to build their
skills in this BigData, AI/ML, Data Engineering, Data Scientists
and Data Analytic ecosystem. This training cum certification
aims to provide a deeper understanding of the Apache Spark
Architecture as well as important programming construct and
writing end to end data pipeline using Apache Spark. Every
public Cloud provider supports the Apache Spark as well as your
organization can have setup in-house. Spark is also a part of
Cloudera CDP platform, Cloudera is one of the pioneer and
provider of Big Data solution Framework. This certification is
purely consider Apache Spark and vendor agnostic. So whatever,
you are going to learn in this certification will be helpful for
you to work on any vendor platform.
Successful
completion of this Apache Spark Developer Certification will
enable you to work in Big Data project more efficiently and give
you a significant advantages in this new world. Overall, you
will gain following key points
