If you own a business, you need to know how to use data for your own marketing programs.

Avoiding a common pitfall in data science by enabling history mode.

In this last installment, we’ll discuss a demo application that uses PySpark.ML to make a classification model based off of training data stored in both Cloudera’s Operational Database (powered by Apache HBase) and Apache HDFS. Afterwards, this model is then scored and served through a simple Web Application. For more context, this demo is based on concepts discussed in this blog post How to deploy ML models to production.

In this installment, we’ll discuss how to do Get/Scan Operations and utilize PySpark SQL. Afterward, we’ll talk about Bulk Operations and then some troubleshooting errors you may come across while trying this yourself. Read the first blog here. Get/Scan Operations In this example, let’s load the table ‘tblEmployee’ that we made in the “Put Operations” in Part 1. I used the same exact catalog in order to load the table. Executing table.show() will give you:
