This document provides an overview of real-time analytics with Apache Cassandra and Apache Spark. It discusses how Spark can be used for stream processing over Cassandra for storage. Spark Streaming ingests real-time data from sources like Kafka and processes it using Spark transformations and actions. The processed data can be stored in Cassandra for querying. Cassandra is well suited for high write throughput and storing large amounts of data, while Spark enables fast in-memory processing and machine learning capabilities. Together, Spark and Cassandra provide a scalable solution for real-time analytics and querying of large datasets.

- 33. Apache Spark Streaming – Core concepts Discretized Stream (DStream) • Core Spark Streaming abstraction • micro batches of RDD’s • Operations similar to RDD Input DStreams • Represents the stream of raw data received from streaming sources • Data can be ingested from many sources: Kafka, Kinesis, Flume, Twitter, ZeroMQ, TCP Socket, Akka actors, etc. • Custom Sources can be easily written for custom data sources Operations • Same as Spark Core + Additional Stateful transformations (window, reduceByWindow)
