Now there's obviously a lot of different formats for these files, they can be in a text file format. It can be CSV. Sometimes you'll find Excel or JSON files as well. So when we locate a file, it's very important that we're comfortable enough loading that data into our Java programs so that we can actually get to the good part which is building models and performing actual data science on that data that we load.…
