If you’d like to build Spark from source, visit Building Spark. Spark runs on both Windows and UNIX-like systems (e.g. Linux, Mac OS), and it should run on any platform that runs a supported version of Java.
Spark Connect is a client-server architecture within Apache Spark that enables remote connectivity to Spark clusters from any application. PySpark provides the client for the Spark Connect server, allowing Spark to be used as a service.
There are more guides shared with other languages such as Quick Start in Programming Guides at the Spark documentation. There are live notebooks where you can try PySpark out without any other step:
Types of time windows Spark supports three types of time windows: tumbling (fixed), sliding and session. Tumbling windows are a series of fixed-sized, non-overlapping and contiguous time intervals. An input can only be bound to a single window.

Apache Spark’s ability to choose the best execution plan among many possible options is determined in part by its estimates of how many rows will be output by every node in the execution plan (read, filter, join, etc.).
Structured Streaming is a scalable and fault-tolerant stream processing engine built on the Spark SQL engine. You can express your streaming computation the same way you would express a batch computation on static data.
In this model, Spark is responsible for updating the Result Table when there is new data, thus relieving the users from reasoning about it. As an example, let’s see how this model handles event-time based processing and late arriving data.
