3 best Self Study Materials on Spark Mlib

#Spark Overview with self study material:

Spark Overview: Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster computing system. It provides high-level APIs in Java, Scala and Python, and an optimized engine that supports general execution graphs. An execution graph describes the possible states of execution and the states between them. Spark also supports a set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and structured data processing, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming.

Review of Spark Machine Language Library (MLlib): MLlib is Spark's machine learning library, focusing on learning algorithms and utilities, including classification, regression, clustering, collaborative filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as underlying optimization primitives.
Why MLlib? It is built on Apache Spark, which is a fast and general engine for large scale processing. Supposedly, running times or up to 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce, or 10x faster on disk. Supports writing applications in Java, Scala, or Python.
