Streaming machine learning with Spark and Kafka

Kafka is a real-time streaming message hub. Combined with Kafka, Databrick's ability to ingest streams and perform machine learning on them in real time allows you to perform powerful machine learning in near real time. In this recipe, we are going to use  Confluent. Confluent is the company that was founded by the creators of Kafka. They have a cloud offering on Azure, GCP, and AWS. We are also going to use Databricks, which is available on Azure, GCP, and AWS.
