If you were to give recommendations to your "little brother/sister" on things that they need to do to become a data scientist, what would those things be?

I think the "Data Science Venn Diagram" (http://drewconway.com/zia/2013/3/26/the-data-science-venn-diagram) is a great place to start. You need three things to be a good data scientist:

  • Statistical knowledge
  • Programming/hacking skills
  • Domain expertise

Statistical knowledge

This example uses Scala. Please see the MLlib documentation for a Java example.
Try running this code in the Spark shell. It may produce different topics each time (since LDA includes some randomization), but it should give topics similar to those listed above.
