Is Apache Cassandra really the Database you need?

Big Data and Fast Data, Cassandra, Database, Java, NoSql, Scala, , , , , ,

Welcome back, everyone. It has been quite some time since I have been working with Cassandra. To be honest, it is a quite cool database. Its decentralized nature, as well as its ability to handle such a large volume of writes, is really commendable. But as we know nothing is perfect. So is the Cassandra Database. What I mean by this is that you cannot Continue Reading

Dependency Injection: The Core

Java, Scala, ,

We can define Dependency Injection as a technique where one object supplies the dependencies to other objects. But what actually does it mean? Well, there are many answers to this question and sometimes they are quite confusing and annoying. But in this blog, I’ll try to keep things quite straightforward and as simple as possible. A class has a dependency on another class if it Continue Reading

SCRUMming :Photosynthesis of SCRUM Teams

Agile, x

Photosynthesis is one of nature’s most sustainable production lines, the minuscule sugar/glucose Factory, by utilizing the energy of the Sun along with inputs of water and carbon dioxide Similarly doing SCRUM act as “working software” factories, with well defined/refined Product Backlog(derived from Vision/Strategies), along with right Agile cultural mindset and Enablers(Practices/Tools) Carbon is the chemical backbone of Photosynthesis, like Culture for SCRUM And Team gets Continue Reading

Functional Programming: A Paradigm

Functional Programming, Scala, , , , ,

It’s surprisingly hard to find a consistent definition of functional programming. But I think you can define FP with just two statements: 1. FP is about writing software applications using only pure functions. 2. When writing FP code you only use immutable values. Hence, Functional programming is a way of writing software applications using only pure functions and immutable values. Now, let us understand the Continue Reading

Back2Basics: Exception Handling – #4

Scala, Tutorial, , , , ,

In the previous series of blogs, we have seen how we can do error handling in Scala. In this blog, we will explore yet another way of handling exceptions using the functional style of programming. Scalactic is a library which provides an “Either with attitude” named Or, designed for functional error handling. Or gives you more convenient chaining of map and flatMap calls (and for Continue Reading

Scala constructor is used for creating an instance (object) of a class. Scala has two types of constructor. 1. Primary constructor 2. Auxiliary constructor In this blog, We will learn about primary constructor. A Scala class can contain one and only one primary constructor. Class definition class <class-name> (parameter-list) { } class keyword is used to create a class, with the class definition we have Continue Reading

Sorting in scala using sorted,sortBy and sortWith function

Scala

Sorting is arranging the data in ascending or descending order. Sorted data helps us searching easily. In mobile phone contacts are sorted in the alphabetic order it helps us to find easily a mobile number of any people. Scala usesTimSort, which is a hybrid of Merge Sort and Insertion Sort. Here is three sorting method of Scala. sorted Here is signature def sorted[B >: A](implicit Continue Reading

Back2Basics: Understanding Partially Applied Functions

Scala, , , , ,

In this blog, we are going to talk about Partially applied functions and its use case. Before starting, first, we will emphasize that though Partial functions and Partially applied functions sound similar they are different from each other. To understand Partial Functions refer. What is function application? Applying a function is called calling a function. When we pass all arguments of the function, we can Continue Reading

CuriosityX: RDDs – The backbone of Apache Spark

Apache Spark, HDFS, Java, Scala, Spark, , , , , ,

In our last blog, we tried to understand about using the spark streaming to transform and transport data between Kafka topics. After reading that many of the readers asked us to give a brief description of RDDs in Spark which we used. So, this blog is totally dedicated to the RDDs in Spark. So let’s start with the very basic question that comes to our mind Continue Reading
