SparkHub: A Community Site for Apache Spark
The start of a community site for Apache Spark.
I say the “start of” because under videos you will find only Spark Summit 2015 and Spark Summit East 2015.
No promises on accuracy but searching for “Apache Spark” at YouTube results in 4,900 “hits” as of today (10 July 2015).
Make no mistake, Databricks (the force behind SparkHub) has a well deserved and formidable reputation when it comes to Spark.
And the site was just released today, but still, one would expect more diverse content than is found on the site today.
Given the widespread interest in Spark, widespread if mailing list traffic is any indication of interest, a curated site that does more than list videos, articles and post by title would be a real community asset.
Think of a Spark site that identifies issues by time marks in videos and links those snippets to bug/improvement issues and any discussion.
Make Spark discussions a seamless web as opposed to a landscape of dead-ends, infinitely deep potholes and diamonds, diamonds that once discovered, are covered back up again.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
