Being able to interactively explore massive datasets is critical for data science, data engineering or even business intelligence. Databricks allows you to seamlessly query data and visualize results in a notebook environment in the language you prefer – whether it’s SQL, R, Python, or Scala.
The “Data Exploration on Databricks” jump start video below will show you how go from data source to visualization in a few easy steps. Specifically, you’ll see how to take semi-structured logs, easily extract and transform them, analyze and visualize the data using Spark SQL, so you can quickly understand your data.
