Propagating ML Development Environments to your Production Spark Cluster with MLFlow

Objective

Python is not a strongly typed language like Java or C++. However as a language that evolved taking good amount of time and the easiness to manage it, Python definitely is a language of choice for many, especially in the field of machine learning. The vast availability of libraries for algorithms and visualization. Following are some of reasons why I like Python, though it’s not my favourite:

• Ease of Use. Python is one of the easiest languages to learn because the syntax is simple.
• Documentation. Python has excellent and extensive documentation. It’s also very well covered on StackOverflow, YouTube, etc.
• Libraries. Python has awesome libraries for web development, machine learning, big data analytics, data visualization, statistics, scientific computing, and so on. So it is very popular in many domains.
• Supports multiple programming paradigms — functional, object oriented, scripting, etc. It’s a handy language for very short scripts as well as full web apps.

If there is a need for me to experiment some machine learning apps, my first choice is definitely Python. The PYPL PopularitY of Programming Language Index is created by analyzing how often language…
