Databricks Spark Reference Applications

“Databricks Spark Reference Applications” The Introduction section of this blog covers the basics of Apache Spark and Databricks. Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster computing system, and Databricks is a platform that provides high-level APIs in Java, Scala, Python and R, as well as an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs.

Databricks also comes with a variety of workloads and includes additional open source libraries in the Databricks Runtime. It also supports Databricks SQL which is a powerful query language for interacting with data.

This blog post will look at how to get started writing Apache Spark applications on Databricks by introducing the Log Analysis reference application. Logs are a large and common data set that contain a rich set of information; this reference application will walk you through how to calculate log statistics using the streaming library.

Finally, the blog post will provide an overview of the anatomy of a physical Spark cluster and explain how it works. This blog post aims to serve as your definitive guide once you’ve become accustomed to using and leveraging Apache Spark with Databricks.
