Configuring IntelliJ to work with Spark and run Spark ML sample codes
We need to run some configurations to ensure that the project settings are correct before being able to run the samples that are provided by Spark or any of the programs listed this book.
Getting ready
We need to be particularly careful when configuring the project structure and global libraries. After we set everything up, we proceed to run the sample ML code provided by the Spark team to verify the setup. Sample code can be found under the Spark directory or can be obtained by downloading the Spark source code with samples.
How to do it...
The following are the steps for configuring IntelliJ to work with Spark MLlib and for running the sample ML code provided by Spark in the examples directory. The examples directory can be found in your home directory for Spark. Use the Scala samples to proceed:
- Click on the
