Please help me get started on Apache Spark

Friends,

I am pretty new to Spark as much as to Scala, MLib and the entire Hadoop stack!! It would be so much help if I could be pointed to some good books on Spark and MLib?

Further, does MLib support any algorithms for B2B cross sell/ upsell or customer retention (out of the box preferably) that I could run on my Sales force data? I am currently using Collaborative filtering but that's essentially B2C.

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,
Saurabh Agrawal

For Spark,
You can start with a new book like :
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/learning-spark/9781449359034/ch01.html
I think the paper book is out now,

You can also have a look on tutorials documentation guide available on :
https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/mllib-guide.html

There is a lot of good tutorials (google), but I think the best manner
remain to get a case study

Cheers

Take a look at the O'Reilly Learning Spark (Early Release) book.  I've found this very useful.
