Abstract

Major online sites such as Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo are now adopting Spark. Many organizations run Spark in thousands of nodes available in the clusters. Spark is a “rapid cluster computing” and a broader data processing platform. It has a thirsty and active open-source community. Spark core is the Apache Spark kernel. We discuss in this paper the use and applications of Apache Spark, the mainstream of popular organization. These organizations extract, collect event data from the users’ daily use, and engage in real-time interactions with such data. As a result, Apache Spark is a big data next-generation tool. It offers both batch and streaming capabilities to process data more quickly.
