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.

Katharine Jarmul challenged five common AI security and privacy myths in her InfoQ Dev Summit Munich 2025 keynote: that guardrails will protect us, better model performance improves security, risk taxonomies solve problems, one-time red teaming suffices, and the next model version will fix current issues. She said that current approaches to AI safety rely too heavily on technical solutions.
