Description:

Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster computing system which makes parallel jobs easy to write. Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed frameworks. Both open source projects are foundational for the emerging "Berkeley Stack" for analytics at scale. This tutorial shows a simple way to launch a Mesos cluster in the cloud, how to configure run Spark on Mesos, then how to run jobs in Spark.

This webcast tutorial will show you:

  • A simple way to launch a Mesos cluster in the cloud
  • How to configure and run Spark on Mesos
  • How to run jobs in Spark

This webcast material is a preview for the Mesos tutorial at Strata SC 2014 led by Paco Nathan.
