Basic Apache Spark Setup
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’ve decided to move forward with Apache Spark and I’m looking for a straightforward, entry-level setup I can build on later. For now, I need:
• A concise working example that shows Spark installed and running locally or on a single cloud node.
• A clear, well-commented script (Scala or Python) that reads from a simple sample data source—CSV or JSON is fine—to demonstrate Spark’s core data-processing workflow.
• A short, step-by-step guide explaining how to swap that sample data source for my own once I decide what to use.
I’m unsure which database or storage layer I’ll ultimately connect, so keep the example generic and note any common integration points (HDFS, S3, JDBC, etc.) without going deep into them.
Deliverables should be lightweight: installation commands, the sample script, and the quick-start instructions in a single README. That’s it—no heavy cluster configuration needed at this stage.
