Event Description
Introduction to Spark
Presented by Carol McDonald, MapR Technologies
Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. In contrast to Hadoop's two-stage disk-based MapReduce paradigm, Spark's in-memory primitives provide performance up to 100 times faster for certain applications.
The Spark software stack includes a core data-proccessing engine, an interface for interactive querying, Sparkstreaming for streaming data analysis, and growing libraries for machine-learning and graph analysis. Spark is quickly establishing itself as a leading environment for doing fast, iterative in-memory and streaming analysis.
This talk will give an introduction the Spark stack, explain how Spark has lighting fast results, and how it complements Apache Hadoop.
