What is Spark?

Apache Spark, Spark, Apache, and the Spark logo are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.

In short, Spark is the future of

open-source MapReduce

Current Hadoop stack is heterogeneous

Spark = Fully integrated analytics suite and cluster

computing framework

On the surface, very similar to Hadoop

• Relies on HDFS

• Runs on Yarn, Mesos, or standalone

• MapReduce + General cluster computing

2. Better resource utilizationDisk is slow. Memory is fast. Several levels of persistence.

Key differences with usual stack

Read blocks

from disk

Cache aggregates

in memory

Platform

Key differences with usual stack

2. Better resource utilizationMore cores > more machines. Resource locality.

Each node x each core

/ each local block
