Geet's Handy Links and Notes

Some code snippets

Docker

• Nice flow to get a scalable Spark+HDFS workbench using Docker. Could work nicely with Swarm. https://www.big-data-europe.eu/scalable-sparkhdfs-workbench-using-docker/. Associated Github page: https://github.com/big-data-europe/docker-hadoop-spark-workbench
• Nice flow for JupyterHub + Swarm. Could connect nicely with the Spark + HDFS above. https://developer.rackspace.com/blog/deploying-jupyterhub-for-education/. Associated Github page: https://github.com/compmodels/
• Handy stacks: https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks

Programming Languages

• Some of my experimentation using the Nim language: https://github.com/geetduggal/nim-stash, https://geetduggal.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/consider-nimrod/
• Some of my experimentation with Scala: http://growcode.net/, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ckingsf/software/starfish/

• Some handy scripts to plot a schedule of jobs on a set of nodes. These are really basic and I have more complex versions, but I wanted to keep the snippets of code for my reference (config file). An example of a schedule plot:
