Welcome to Spark Streaming!

I’m Jacek Laskowski, an independent consultant who is passionate about Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Scala, sbt (with some flavour of Apache Mesos, Hadoop YARN, and DC/OS). I lead Warsaw Scala Enthusiasts and Warsaw Spark meetups in Warsaw, Poland.

Contact me at [email protected] or @jaceklaskowski to discuss Apache Spark opportunities, e.g. courses, workshops, mentoring or application development services.

If you like the Apache Spark notes you should seriously consider participating in my own, very hands-on Spark Workshops.

This collections of notes (what some may rashly call a "book") serves as the ultimate place of mine to collect all the nuts and bolts of using Apache Spark. The notes aim to help me designing and developing better products with Apache Spark. It is also a viable proof of my understanding of Apache Spark. I do eventually want to reach the highest level of mastery in Apache Spark.

The collection of notes serves as the study material for my trainings, workshops, videos and courses about Apache Spark. Follow me on twitter @jaceklaskowski to know it early. You will also learn about the upcoming events about Apache Spark.

Expect text and code snippets from Spark’s mailing lists, the official documentation of Apache Spark, StackOverflow, blog posts, books from O’Reilly, press releases, YouTube/Vimeo videos, Quora, the source code of Apache Spark, etc. Attribution follows.
