What you need for this book

This book is based on Spark 2.2.0 (pre-built for Apache Hadoop 2.7 or later) and Scala 2.11.8. For one or two subsections, Spark 2.1.0 has also been used due to the unavailability of certain libraries and reported bugs (when used with Apache Spark 2.2). The hardware and OS specifications include minimum 8 GB RAM (16 GB strongly recommended), 100 GB HDD, and OS X 10.11.6 or later (or appropriate Linux versions recommended for Spark development).
