An introductory edX MOOC from UC Berkeley (CS100.1x) on big data processing with Apache Spark. It covers distributed data analysis with Spark, including assignments that build a recommender on the MovieLens dataset.

Commenters recommend it as a way to get started with Spark and big data, and one points to its MovieLens recommender assignment.

    If this is interesting then I recommend (ha!) the EdX Spark course[1]. One assignment shows how to build a recommender on the MovieLens dataset mentioned in this article.
