Updated Spark Streaming Programming Guide
Here is the updated version of the Spark Streaming Programming Guide. This is still a work in progress, but the major changes are in place. So feedback is most welcome.
In general, I have tried to make the guide to easier to understand even if the reader does not know much about Spark. The updated website is hosted here -
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tdas/spark_docs/streaming-programming-guide.html
The major changes are:
- Overview illustrates the usecases of Spark Streaming - various input sources and various output sources
- An example right after overview to quickly give an idea of what Spark Streaming program looks like
- Made Java API and examples a first class citizen like Scala by using tabs to show both Scala and Java examples (similar to AMPCamp tutorial's code tabs)
- Highlighted the DStream operations updateStateByKey and transform because of their powerful nature
- Updated driver node failure recovery text to highlight automatic recovery in Spark standalone mode
- Added information about linking and using the external input sources like Kafka and Flume
- In general, reorganized the sections to better show the Basic section and the more advanced sections like Tuning and Recovery.
Todos:
- Links to the docs of external Kafka, Flume, etc
- Illustrate window operation with figure as well as example.

Update Spark Streaming Programming Guide.
We've used camel case in other Spark methods so it felt reasonable to
keep using it here and make the code match Scala/Java as much as
possible. Note that parameter names matter in Python because it allows
passing optional parameters by name.
- Added a Python wrapper for Naive Bayes
- Updated the Scala Naive Bayes to match the style of our other
algorithms better and in particular make it easier to call from Java
(added builder pattern, removed default value in train method)
- Updated Python MLlib functions to not require a SparkContext; we can
get that from the RDD the user gives
- Added a toString method in LabeledPoint
- Made the Python MLlib tests run as part of run-tests as well (before
they could only be run individually through each file)
