Apache Spark

Large scale data processing performed at super-fast speed by this unified analytics engine

Take your business forward with APACHE SPARK

Apache Spark is a cluster computing system. It is quick and its general purpose is to offer high level APIs in Java, Scala and Python. It also provides an optimized engine capable of supporting general execution graphs.

WHY USE APACHE SPARK

Speed

Apache Spark is quick. Equipped with state-of-the-art DAG scheduler, a query optimizer, and a physical execution engine both batch and streaming data can be done at hundred times faster speed.

Easy Use

Apps for Spark can be written extremely quickly in Java, Scala, Python, R, and SQL. With more than 80 high-level operators, Spark makes building parallel apps simple and it can be used interactively from the Scala, Python, R, and SQL shells.

Generality

Sparks offers a powerful combination of streaming, analytics and SQL. It provides a wide range of libraries which include:

SQL
DataFrames
MLlib for machine learning
GraphX
Spark Streaming

Compatibility

Versatility is guaranteed by the fact that Spark works equally well with a wide range of tools. These include open-source frameworks such as Hadoop and Mesos, and it works equally well either in the cloud or as a standalone tool. It can also access data from the likes of Cassandra, HBase, HDFS, R and S3 quickly and simply.
