Topic

Internet of Complex Things Ad-hoc Analytics with Apache Cassandra and Apache Spark

Abstract

Learn how Apache Cassandra can be paired with Apache Spark to build a powerful OLAP solution for analyzing large scale operational data from Internet of Complex Things. Cassandra provides a scalable, flexible, and highly available data store. Spark provides a fast and scalable analytics framework. The two can be combined to build a powerful and flexible solution for analyzing IoT data. We will discuss what kind of analytics Cassandra can handle by itself and when Spark is required. We will also share some of the challenges and tradeoffs that are important to know.
