This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to the Spark Java API. Experienced Java developers will use object-oriented programming (OOP) principles to apply theory to Apache Spark and big data practice.

You’ll learn the basic components and architecture of Spark, a leading framework for building big data applications, before implementing them in Java. You’ll also explore data transformations like grouping, sorting, and joining. Further, you’ll learn to support SQL operations in the database and create a big data and batch template application with Java.

By the end of the course, you’ll be familiar with Apache Spark and know how to integrate big data with Java environments through the Spark Java API. You’ll wrap up by learning about monitoring and support functions for a live Spark Java environment.

Combining a leading big data framework with a leading programming language, this course will empower you to work efficiently with large volumes of data, and process at scale and speed.

Mastering Big Data with Apache Spark and Java

This lesson follows the project embedded in the widget below. 

It is recommended that we follow the explanations in tandem with the code, and run the project to see the results. It’s also helpful to change parts of the code and detour a bit from the code base to experiment and see the results live.


Let’s examine the first couple of fundamental transformations through code examples and visual representations.
