Scala and the JVM as a Big Data Platform Lessons from Apache Spark
Dean Wampler (Big Data Architect, Lightbend)
The success of Apache Spark is bringing developers to Scala.

In this talk, we'll see what we've learned from Spark, ongoing improvements, and what we should do to improve Scala and the JVM for Big Data.
