Apache Spark
A unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing
... (microbatches) and Structured Streaming, it delivers low-latency event processing suitable for real-time analytics. The built-in MLlib library provides scalable machine learning algorithms, while GraphX enables graph computations integrated with data pipelines. Spark supports multiple languages—Scala, Java, Python, R—and connects with many storage systems like HDFS, S3, Cassandra, and streaming platforms like Kafka, making it a versatile choice for big data workloads in analytics, ETL, and data science.
