Sensors, satellites, mobile devices, social media, e-commerce, and the Internet, among others, saturate us with data. The Internet of Things, in particular, enables massive amounts of data to be generated more quickly. The Internet of Things is a term that describes the process of connecting computers, smart devices, and other data-generating equipment to a network and transmitting data. As a result, data is produced and updated on a regular basis to reflect changes in all areas and activities. As a consequence of this exponential growth of data, a new term and idea known as big data have been coined. Big data is required to illuminate the relationships between things, forecast future trends, and provide more information to decision-makers. The major problem at present, however, is how to effectively collect and evaluate massive amounts of diverse and complicated data. In some sectors or applications, machine learning models are the most frequently utilized methods for interpreting and analyzing data and obtaining important information. On their own, traditional machine learning methods are unable to successfully handle large data problems. This article gives an introduction to Spark architecture as a platform that machine learning methods may utilize to address issues regarding the design and execution of large data systems. This article focuses on three machine learning types, including regression, classification, and clustering, and how they can be applied on top of the Spark platform.
