Spark Documentation
Setup instructions, programming guides, and other documentation are available for each version of Spark below:
Read these documents to get started with Spark. In addition, this page lists a few other external resources for learning Spark.
Video Tutorials
Hands-On Exercises
- Hands-on exercises are available online. These exercises let you launch a small EC2 cluster, load a dataset, and query it with Spark, Shark, Spark Streaming, and MLLib.
AMP Camp Slides and Videos
- The AMPLab regularly hosts two-day training camps on Spark and related "big data" components.
Slides and videos from each camp are posted online:
AMP Camp Three Big Data Bootcamp Berkeley (August 2013)
AMP Camp Two Big Data Bootcamp Strata (February 2013)
AMP Camp One Big Data Bootcamp Berkeley (August 2012)
