If you don’t do the extra credit exercise, you don’t need to submit anything, as the assignment itself is just here to let you know what to read and is worth zero points.
If you want to try for up to 5 points of extra credit, then do exercise 1 and submit your results. This exercise is a good thing to try if you want to get more hands on about streaming technology, especially if you are considering using spark streaming for your project.
Readings
