Apache Spark™ is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing.
Speed: Run programs up to 100x faster than Hadoop MapReduce in memory, or 10x faster on disk.
Ease of Use: Write applications quickly in Java, Scala, Python, R.
Generality: Combine SQL, streaming, and complex analytics.
Runs Everywhere: Spark runs on Hadoop, Mesos, standalone, or in the cloud. It can access diverse data sources including HDFS, Cassandra, HBase, and S3.
