Chapter 1. Installing Spark and Setting Up Your Cluster
This chapter will detail some common methods to set up Spark. Spark on a single machine is excellent for testing or exploring small Datasets, but here you will also learn to use Spark's built-in deployment scripts with a dedicated cluster via Secure Shell (SSH). For Cloud deployments of Spark, this chapter will look at EC2 (both traditional and Elastic Map reduce). Feel free to skip this chapter if you already have your local Spark instance installed and want to get straight to programming. The best way to navigate through installation is to use this chapter as a guide and refer to the Spark installation documentation at http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/cluster-overview.html.
