PySpark Recipes (eBook)

Raju Mishra has strong interests in data science and systems that have the capability of handling large amounts of data and operating complex mathematical models through computational programming. He was inspired to pursue an M. Tech in computational sciences from Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India. Raju primarily works in the areas of data science and its different applications. Working as a corporate trainer he has developed unique insights that help him in teaching and explaining complex ideas with ease. Raju is also a data science consultant solving complex industrial problems. He works on programming tools such as R, Python, scikit-learn, Statsmodels, Hadoop, Hive, Pig, Spark, and many others.
