Introduction

So far, the entire book has concentrated a little around Breeze and a lot around Spark, specifically DataFrames and machine learning. However, there are a whole lot of other libraries, both in Java and Scala that could be leveraged while analyzing data from Scala. This chapter goes a little more into Spark's other components, streaming and GraphX. Note that each recipe in this chapter feeds into the next recipe.
