             Summary: Adding new Manning book "Spark in Action" to the official Spark Webpage
                 Key: SPARK-7209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7209
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Aleksandar Dragosavljevic
            Priority: Minor


Manning Publications is developing a book Spark in Action written by Marko Bonaci and Petar Zecevic (http://www.manning.com/bonaci) and it would be great if the book could be added to the list of books at the official Spark Webpage (https://spark.apache.org/documentation.html).

This book teaches readers to use Spark for stream and batch data processing. It starts with an introduction to the Spark architecture and ecosystem followed by a taste of Spark's command line interface. Readers then discover the most fundamental concepts and abstractions of Spark, particularly Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) and the basic data transformations that RDDs provide. The first part of the book also introduces you to writing Spark applications using the the core APIs. Next, you learn about different Spark components: how to work with structured data using Spark SQL, how to process near-real time data with Spark Streaming, how to apply machine learning algorithms with Spark MLlib, how to apply graph algorithms on graph-shaped data using Spark GraphX, and a clear introduction to Spark clustering.

The book is already available to the public as a part of our Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) where we deliver chapters to the public as soon as they are written. We believe it will offer significant support to the Spark users and the community.
