Course Description

Learn the fundamentals of streaming data with Apache Spark. During this course, you will discover the differences between batch and streaming data. Observe the types of streaming data sources. Learn about how to process streaming data, transform the stream, and materialize the results. Decouple a streaming application from the data sources with a message transport. Next, learn about techniques used in Spark 1.x to work with streaming data and how it contrasts with processing batch data; how structured streaming in Spark 2.x is able to ease the task of stream processing for the app developer; and how streaming processing works in both Spark 1.x and 2.x. Finally, learn how triggers can be set up to periodically process streaming data; and the key aspects of working with structured streaming in Spark
