IBM Machine Learning brings Spark to the mainframe ZDNet

New York City's historical buildings, businesses and sensibilities - some of them decades old - have been under siege for the past few years. One of the latest victims is the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel, which is closing in less than a week for renovations, possibly not to reopen for three years. Reportedly, 300-500 hotel rooms will remain, but the vast majority of the property will be converted to luxury condos. Wouldn't it be better to onboard the new condo "workload," without stripping away so much of the Waldorf's legacy hotel functionality? There's a data and analytics angle here, I promise.
