Unified engine for large-scale data analytics

Get Started

What is Apache Spark?

Apache Spark is a multi-language engine for executing data engineering, data science, and machine learning on single-node machines or clusters.
Simple.
Fast.
Scalable.
Unified.
Key features
Batch/streaming data
Batch/streaming data
Unify the processing of your data in batches and real-time streaming, using your preferred language: Python, SQL, Scala, Java or R.
SQL analytics
SQL analytics
Execute fast, distributed ANSI SQL queries for dashboarding and ad-hoc reporting. Runs faster than most data warehouses.
Data science at scale
Data science at scale
Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on petabyte-scale data without having to resort to downsampling
Machine Learning
Machine learning
Train machine learning algorithms on a laptop and use the same code to scale to fault-tolerant clusters of thousands of machines.
The most widely-used engine for scalable computing
Thousands of companies, including 80% of the Fortune 500, use Apache Spark.
Over 2,000 contributors to the open source project from industry and academia.
Ecosystem
Apache Spark integrates with your favorite frameworks, helping to scale them to thousands of machines.
Data science and Machine learning
SQL analytics and BI
Storage and Infrastructure
Spark SQL engine: under the hood
Apache Spark is built on an advanced distributed SQL engine for large-scale data
Adaptive Query Execution

Spark SQL adapts the execution plan at runtime, such as automatically setting the number of reducers and join algorithms.

Support for ANSI SQL

Use the same SQL you’re already comfortable with.

Structured and unstructured data

Spark SQL works on structured tables and unstructured data such as JSON or images.
