Base Vagrant file
00:28

Here we make sure that we are all on the same page. We boot up a vanilla virtual machine. Good grasp of basic Vagrant commands are essential.

Quick Overview of your Vagrant Environment
17:33

Here I show you have to simply modify your Vagrant file to switch to a graphical Centos (RHEL) Linux Virtual Machine. We will navigate briefly within this Virtual Machine. This is the image we will be configuring. Amazing that you have a Graphical O/S in under 1.2GB!

Boot up a Vanilla Centos Desktop on your own Desktop or Laptop
16:29

Here we tune the Development Virtual Machine by configuring the clock (sync with external servers), hostname, firewall and some O/S low level settings.

Java has already been configured to be installed. Here we add maven to the picture.

Automate the Installation of Maven. The Java Build Tool
15:05

Here, the Scala programming language will be installed. 

Automate the installation of Scala. It's like the Java that should have been!
11:09

At last! We install the Eclipse tool for Scala and show that the same development environment that you know and love on Windows/Mac, is that same on Centos. Oh yes, you can still code in Java!

Automate the Installation of ScalaIDE. Eclipse for Scala!
16:47

Scala has already been configured to be installed. Here we add sbt to the picture.

Automate the Installation of sbt. The Scala Build Tool
16:01

We go through downloading the Spark binaries and adding the automation and configuration of Spark within Vagrant.

Automate the Installation of Spark. You get to choose. 1.6.2 or 2.0.1
18:13

Here we add a working Spark example. This example uses a combination of tools. sbt, sbt-eclipse, ScalaIDE and Spark.

Automate the Installation of a Spark 1.6.2 Example.

+ – Build our Virtual Machine Image
1 lecture 17:51

Here we perform some cosmetic changes. Change keyboard layout as well as create a link to the ScalaIDE and then generate our final development Virtual Machine. All the hard work above will be contained in a ~ 2.3GB vagrant box file.

Build the Final Development Environment

Hard to believe... This new environment will now boot up in under 2.5 minutes (On my machine anyway!) We also execute the Spark example within the ScalaIDE. Ensuring everything works. You can now give this final box and vagrant file to your colleague and they can have a Spark Environment up and running in under 2.5 minutes.

Boot up the Spark Environment in under 2.5 minutes!!

Requirements
  • Basic programming or scripting experience is required.
  • You will need a desktop PC and an Internet connection. The course is created with Windows in mind.
  • The software needed for this course is freely available
  • This Course is based on top of my previous course - "Real World Vagrant For Distributed Computing"
  • You will require a computer with a Virtualization chipset support - VT-x. Most computers purchased over the last five years should be good enough
  • Optional : Some exposure to Linux and/or Bash shell environment
  • 64-bit Windows operating system required (Would recommend Windows 7 or above)
  • This course is not recommened if you have no desire to work with/in distributed computing
Description

Note : This course is built on top of the "Real World Vagrant For Distributed Computing - Toyin Akin" course

This course enables you to package a complete Spark Development environment into your own custom 2.3GB vagrant box.

Once built you no longer need to manipulate your Windows machine in order to get a fully fledged Spark environment to work. With the final solution, you can boot up a complete Apache Spark environment in under 3 minutes!!

Install any version of Spark you prefer. We have codified for 1.6.2 or 2.0.1. but it's pretty easy to extend this for a new version.

Why Apache Spark ...

Apache Spark run programs up to 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce in memory, or 10x faster on disk.
Apache Spark has an advanced DAG execution engine that supports cyclic data flow and in-memory computing.
Apache Spark offers over 80 high-level operators that make it easy to build parallel apps. And you can use it interactively from the Scala, Python and R shells.
Apache Spark can combine SQL, streaming, and complex analytics.


Apache Spark powers a stack of libraries including SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX, and Spark Streaming. You can combine these libraries seamlessly in the same application.

Who this course is for:
  • Software engineers who want to expand their skills into the world of distributed computing
  • Developers who want to write/test their code against Scala / Spark
