In this session, we will introduce Spark’s core concepts, explore the differences between RDD, DataFrame, and Dataset, and demonstrate how Spark can simplify complex data analytics tasks. Whether you are entirely new to Spark or looking to strengthen your big data skills, this talk will give you a clear and practical jump start into the world of distributed data processing. During this session, we are going to use the Scala programming language.
