Big Data Processing with Apache Spark: Scala or Java?

Tweet

Session abstract

As the de facto standard for large-scale data processing in the Java world, Apache Spark is the logical choice when you want to investigate big data processing. Unfortunately, most resources online refer to the Scala API that is exposed by Spark. What to do if you and your company are much more comfortable with Java than the Scala language? This session discusses whether it makes sense to learn and introduce an entirely new language just for your big data processing.
