Getting started

In order to get started, download the dataset from the ModernScalaProjects_Code folder and drop it into the root folder of your project.

Setting up prerequisite software

You may use your existing software setup from previous chapters. Apache Log4j 2 Scala API is the notable exception. This is a Scala wrapper over Log4j 2, which is an upgraded Logger implementation of Log4j version 1.x (the version provided by Spark).

Simply override the existing Log4j from Spark (version 1.6) with Log4j 2 Scala by adding in appropriate entries in the build.sbt file.

The following table lists two choices of prerequisite software:
