Spark (notable) use cases
That’s the place where I’m throwing things I’d love exploring further - technology- and business-centric.
Technology "things":
- 
Spark Streaming on Hadoop YARN cluster processing messages from Apache Kafka using the new direct API.
 - 
Parsing JSONs into Parquet and save it to S3
 
Business "things":
- 
IoT applications = connected devices and sensors
 - 
Predictive Analytics = Manage risk and capture new business opportunities with real-time analytics and probabilistic forecasting of customers, products and partners.
 - 
Anomaly Detection = Detect in real-time problems such as financial fraud, structural defects, potential medical conditions, and other anomalies.
 - 
Personalization = Deliver a unique experience in real-time that is relevant and engaging based on a deep understanding of the customer and current context.
 - 
data lakes, clickstream analytics, real time analytics, and data warehousing on Hadoop
