Spark Streaming brings Apache Spark's language-integrated API to stream processing, letting you write streaming jobs the same way you write batch jobs. It supports Java, Scala and Python. Spark Streaming recovers both lost work and operator state (e.g. sliding windows) out of the box, without any extra code on your part. By running on Spark, Spark Streaming lets you reuse the same code for batch processing, join streams against historical data, or run ad-hoc queries on stream state. Build powerful interactive applications, not just analytics. Spark Streaming is developed as part of Apache Spark. It thus gets tested and updated with each Spark release. You can run Spark Streaming on Spark's standalone cluster mode or other supported cluster resource managers. It also includes a local run mode for development. In production, Spark Streaming uses ZooKeeper and HDFS for high availability.

Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed realtime computation system. Apache Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Apache Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, and is a lot of fun to use! Apache Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. Apache Storm is fast: a benchmark clocked it at over a million tuples processed per second per node. It is scalable, fault-tolerant, guarantees your data will be processed, and is easy to set up and operate. Apache Storm integrates with the queueing and database technologies you already use. An Apache Storm topology consumes streams of data and processes those streams in arbitrarily complex ways, repartitioning the streams between each stage of the computation however needed.
