Summary

In this chapter, we took a whirlwind tour of graph processing in Spark. Specifically, we installed the Java Development Kit, a prebuilt version of Spark and the SBT tool. Furthermore, you were introduced to graph abstraction and operations in Spark by creating a social network in the Spark shell and also in a standalone program.

In the next chapter, you will learn more about how to build and explore graphs in Spark.
