ML vs MLLib

• Parts B and D (MLLib exercises) can be solved using either the Dataframe-based API (pyspark.ml) or the RDD-based API (pyspark.mllib). The corresponding templates for each have the suffix _ml and _mllib. Make sure you rename the python files corresopnding to parts B and D to part_b.py and part_d.py respectively before submitting them.

Execution instructions

• Each file can be executed by running spark-submit part_xxx.py
• You can alternatively run the following to get rid of spark logs spark-submit part_xxx.py 2> /dev/null
• Make sure that you have the given dataset in the directory you are running the given code from. The structure this repository is arranged in is recommended.
• While the extra argument for graphframes is not required for part b and part d, it is not necessary to remove it these parts
