Introduction to Machine Learning with Apache Cassandra® and Apache Spark™

Machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing decision-making processes in organizations across all sectors by accelerating innovation, reducing risks, and improving user experiences. ML involves feeding data into algorithms to make better decisions without directly programming knowledge into computers. It is being used for forecasting, detecting aberrations, classification, recommendation engines, navigation, and more. To support machine learning initiatives, strong technologies like Apache Cassandra® and Apache Spark™ are essential. Cassandra provides a high-availability, high-performance database with predictable linear scalability, while Spark is a fast in-memory data processing framework for large volumes of distributed data. Together, they offer the robust infrastructure needed to unlock the potential of machine learning.
