Unlocking Big Data Insights with Apache Spark: Key Takeaways from OSDC 2013 🚀

OSDC.fr 2013 — Sam Bessalah <br />» http://osdc.fr/2013/talk/5038 <br />» http://act.osdc.fr/osdc2013fr/slides/SamBessalah-Spark.pptx <br /> <br /> The big data ecosystem has evolved with a myriad of projects, mostly rotating around Hadoop. The Spark project first designed has an extension to the latter, has turned into a full blown ecosystem for lightning fast computations for iterative algorithms on large datasets, an integrated graph processing framework, an in-memory filesystem, a stream processing engine and a new machine learning library that holds the promise of revolutionizing the way we do complex analysis of large data sets. <br />In this talk we will go through the different component of the Spark analytic stack and see why a lot of people have taken a strong interest to it.
