An introduction to one of the most popular platforms for distributed messaging or streaming data.

The oldest known way to process data in Python is building up data in lists, dictionaries and other such data structures. Though such techniques work well in many cases, they cause major problems when dealing with large quantities of data. It's easy to find that your code is running painfully slowly or running out of memory. Generators and iterators help address this problem. These techniques have been around in Python for a while but are not well understood. Used properly, they can bring big data tasks down to size so that they don't require a huge hardware investment to complete.

Python's motto has always been "Batteries included," to highlight its extensive standard library. There are many well-kept secrets among the standard modules, including itertools, which is less well known in part because iterators and generators are less well known. This is a shame because the routines in itertools and related modules such as functools and operators can save developers many hours in developing big data operators. Learn by copious examples how to use itertools to address the most common MapReduce-style data science tasks.
