"Good book for overview features of Spark, but I think it is not enough as main book for learning Spark, only as secondary,"
"However, the book tends to gloss over examples, providing the same, or similar, snippets to what's on the web site instead of providing full, working examples. Also, the book presents Scala, Java, and Python snippets throughout the early chapters, which is very distracting."
"Having said that, there aren't many Spark books out there and it does a good job with the writing in terms of describing the platform and maybe not as good a job with the code examples. I happened to like the way the Scala vs Python vs Java breakdown is presented, as some things are not available typically in Python, and it's useful to see the variations (or similarities) in how things are done in the respective languages. Therefore there is a good chance I'm going to like the book that I read next, and in turn give it a good review - I have no desire to read bad books (if someone paid me, maybe I would do it). More than likely I will not finish the book in which case I won't review it (I only review books which I read all the way through)."
"Good intro - but having 3 examples of everything was a bit much, but helpful when trying something for a particular language."
"This book is a great overview of Apache Spark."
"Good book for all beginners, who want to learn Apache Spark."
