I am currently working in Informatica as a Senior Software Engineer. I had started experimenting with Scala in mid 2015, and fell in love with it, and now I have immersed myself into functional programming in order to build highly scalable systems. Apart from the day job, I am also hacking at my hobby project, namely Nestash, built completely on Scala stack.

Functional Programming with Spark
20 Mins
Demonstration
Beginner
Spark is a general purpose distributed computing platform, designed to handle both batch and streaming applications. It extends on the map reduce paradigm initially coined by the Google in it's 2004 research paper. It leverages functional programming paradigm for doing the transformations on the datasets residing in cluster's memory.
Matei Zaharia, creator of Spark mentioned the importance of using functional programming language - " At the time we started, I really wanted a PL that supports a language-integrated interface (where people write functions inline, etc) because I thought that was the way people would want to program these applications after seeing research systems that had it ..
