Apache Spark is a unified engine for large-scale data processing, offering APIs for batch jobs, streaming, machine learning, and graph computation. It builds on resilient distributed datasets (RDDs) and the newer DataFrame/Dataset abstractions to provide fault-tolerant, in-memory computation across clusters. Spark’s execution engine handles scheduling, shuffles, caching, and data locality so users can focus on transformations rather than infrastructure plumbing.
