spark-submit & Application Deployment
How you actually run things in production: spark-submit flags, packaging, dependency management, and the operational mechanics of deploys.
Pass Day 5 to unlock this.
Each day of the study path opens after you score 80% or higher on the previous day's quiz. It's not gatekeeping — later days build directly on the ones before, and the quiz is the cheapest way to find out whether the foundation is in place.
Go to Day 5What you'll cover on Day 6
Once live, Day 6 runs roughly 70 minutes of reading paired with 3 interactive visualizations, followed by a 12-question self-check quiz. The reading is grounded in the official Apache Spark documentation — every claim cites the docs.
- spark-submit flags in depth
- Packaging applications and dependencies
- JARs, --py-files, archive distribution
- Resource configuration for production
- Logging and monitoring in deployed jobs
Why this day matters
By the end of Day 6 you'll be able to explain spark-submit & application deployment confidently — not just describe it, but reason about edge cases, predict performance, and read a Spark UI for the concepts it touches. That's the bar this study path aims for: not memorization, but the kind of working understanding that lets you debug real jobs.
