Overview
This one-day Spark training is an introduction to the foundations of Spark and how to use it on the Databricks environment. Spark is a unified computing engine and a set of libraries for parallel processing of big data. Companies like Netflix, Yahoo and eBay have used Spark to achieve lightning-fast processing for large scale data, and more and more companies are implementing the tool.
