If you're interested in messing around with apache spark and scala, databricks has a free community edition.

Unfortunately, databricks configures the spark cluster to their own specs, so optimizing lower level stuff is out of the question :(

I use it at work and I wish we'd bit the bullet and configured it ourselves. The shell access is a little borked and exploring the filesystem is a pain too. That being said, getting a handle on spark pays dividends - it's really fascinating all the things you can do.

Does anyone here have ideas for scala projects for learning the language better? I do webdev and ETLs at work and I really did not like the Play framework.
