I would like to know which language they are using with Spark: Python, Java or Scala. I have experience with both python and java and while python works very well for prototyping new Spark flows, once a flow becomes too complex I fall back to Java because of generics in RDDs.
- noelwelsh 12y agoI don't think that is relevant to the post, but from what I know of Netflix they use Java and increasingly Scala. I would guess Scala for Spark; the API is a lot nicer.
- lmm 12y agoI'd really recommend looking at Scala - IMO it combines the best parts of both. The syntax is often just as clear and concise as Python, but you also get full static type safety.
