Technical requirements

With the exception of the last section of the chapter, this chapter is more focused on specific examples rather than code snippets, but if you want to try performing the same tests as the examples, you'll need the following:

• An internet-connected computer.
• A single- or multiple-node Apache Spark cluster also running Jupyter. Docker is the easiest way to set this up, which is what we'll use in this chapter.

Let's begin!
