Building a real-time big data pipeline 9: Spark MLlib, Regression, Python

Apache Spark expresses parallelism by three sets of APIs – DataFrames, DataSets and RDDs (Resilient Distributed Dataset).Originally, spark was designed to read and write data from and to Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). A Hadoop cluster is composed of a network of master, worker and client nodes that orchestrate and execute the various jobs across
