Apache Spark
Apache Spark follows a tradition established by Hadoop. It delivers data analytics applications using a distributed computing cluster designed for performance at large scale while costing significantly less than the traditional enterprise data warehouse. Spark is both fast and general purpose owing to its implementation of a more efficient code base vs Hadoop, and an in-memory processing architecture that accelerates performance while still leveraging commodity hardware and open source code. It is also easily accessible, supporting a broad range of APIs.
