Suhass, When I referred to interactive shells, I was referring the the Scala & Python interactive language shells. Both Python & Scala come with respective interacive shells. By just typing “python” or “scala” (assume the installation bin directory is in your $PATH), it will put fire up the she

Re: Recommendation for a good book on Spark, beginner to moderate knowledge

In my opinion the best way to learn something is trying it on the spot. As suggested if you have Hadoop, Hive and Spark installed and you are OK with SQL then you will have to focus on Scala and Spark pretty much. Your best bet is interactive work through Spark shell with Scala, understanding RDD

Re: Recommendation for a good book on Spark, beginner to moderate knowledge

Most of the books are outdated (don't include DataFrames or Spark ML and focus on RDDs and MLlib). The one I particularly liked is "*Learning Spark*". It starts from the basics, but has lots of useful tips on caching, serialization etc. The online docs
