Hi folks, I've noticed some interest for a high-level cloud user interface to Spark / Shark / PySpark and the rest of the BDAS tools. We've been experimenting with this at Sense (https://senseplatform.com), a new cloud platform for data science we're building. We have managed to get PySpark cluster running from within our Python engine and have also built a basic Hive/Shark engine using our Engine API (https://github.com/SensePlatform/sense-engine). The experience is quite pleasurable but has the potential to be amazing.
If there's interest, it would be great to work with some Spark/Shark/PySpark gurus on this. I think a high-level user interface could open up the BDAS to a whole new set of users. If anybody is interested in this, I'd love to chat: [email protected] Thanks! Tristan -- Cofounder at Sense https://senseplatform.com https://twitter.com/tristanzajonc
