Apache Spark is an open-source cluster computing framework for real-time processing. It is of the most successful projects in the Apache Software Foundation. Spark has clearly evolved as the market leader for Big Data processing. It provides high-level APIs in Java, Scala, Python and R, and an optimized engine that supports general execution graphs. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and structured data processing, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming.
