Its latest analytics offering, Stream Analytics, allows you to process and get actionable insights from different kinds of data in real-time.This book is your guide to understanding the basics of how Azure Stream Analytics works, and building your own analytics solution using its capabilities. You will start with understanding what Stream Analytics is, and why it is a popular choice for getting real-time insights from data. Then, you will be introduced to Azure Stream Analytics, and see how you can use the tools and functions in Azure to develop your own Streaming Analytics. Over the course of the book, you will be given comparative analytic guidance on using Azure Streaming with other Microsoft Data Platform resources such as Big Data Lambda Architecture integration for real time data analysis and differences of scenarios for architecture designing with Azure HDInsight Hadoop clusters with Storm or Stream Analytics. The book also shows you how you can manage, monitor, and scale your solution for optimal performance.By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in using Azure Stream Analytics to develop an efficient analytics solution that can work with any type of data.Style and approachA comprehensive guidance on developing real-time event processing with Azure Stream Analysis

Create scalable machine learning applications to power a modern data-driven business using Spark 2.xAbout This BookGet to the grips with the latest version of Apache SparkUtilize Spark's machine learning library to implement predictive analyticsLeverage Spark's powerful tools to load, analyze, clean, and transform your dataWho This Book Is ForIf you have a basic knowledge of machine learning and want to implement various machine-learning concepts in the context of Spark ML, this book is for you. You should be well versed with the Scala and Python languages.What You Will LearnGet hands-on with the latest version of Spark MLCreate your first Spark program with Scala and PythonSet up and configure a development environment for Spark on your own computer, as well as on Amazon EC2Access public machine learning datasets and use Spark to load, process, clean, and transform dataUse Spark's machine learning library to implement programs by utilizing well-known machine learning modelsDeal with large-scale text data, including feature extraction and using text data as input to your machine learning modelsWrite Spark functions to evaluate the performance of your machine learning modelsIn DetailThis book will teach you about popular machine learning algorithms and their implementation. You will learn how various machine learning concepts are implemented in the context of Spark ML. You will start by installing Spark in a single and multinode cluster. Next you'll see how to execute Scala and Python based programs for Spark ML. Then we will take a few datasets and go deeper into clustering, classification, and regression. Toward the end, we will also cover text processing using Spark ML.Once you have learned the concepts, they can be applied to implement algorithms in either green-field implementations or to migrate existing systems to this new platform. You can migrate from Mahout or Scikit to use Spark ML.By the end of this book, you will acquire the skills to leverage Spark's features to create your own scalable machine learning applications and power a modern data-driven business.Style and approachThis practical tutorial with real-world use cases enables you to develop your own machine learning systems with Spark. The examples will help you combine various techniques and models into an intelligent machine learning system.
