Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use it for ETL purposes as well as for implementing the full transformation pipelines.""Spark helps us reduce startup time for our customers and gives a very high ROI in the medium term.""The most valuable feature of Apache Spark is its ease of use.""The product’s most valuable features are lazy evaluation and workload distribution.""The most valuable feature is the Fault Tolerance and easy binding with other processes like Machine Learning, graph analytics.""The data processing framework is good.""Spark can handle small to huge data and is suitable for any size of company.""The memory processing engine is the solution's most valuable aspect. It processes everything extremely fast, and it's in the cluster itself. It acts as a memory engine and is very effective in processing data correctly."

"We have found Spring is easy to use and learn.""Spring has a speedy development process with a lightweight framework.""The most valuable features of Spring MVC are the modules, such as Spring Admin. All the Spring solutions work well together and are simple to maintain, such as the load balancing on the client side.""Dependency Injection is one of the major features which makes our life easier using Spring. It is well documented and has active communities, which provide us enormous help.""The interface is the solution's most valuable aspect.""Spring gives you the opportunity to develop architecture in the simplest way possible. It comes with everything you would want in terms of security. If you want to access the database, you have the ability to do that.""It provides the best documentation for technical support.""Spring MVC is fast and reliable."

Cons
"When you want to extract data from your HDFS and other sources then it is kind of tricky because you have to connect with those sources.""The initial setup was not easy.""It's not easy to install.""The solution must improve its performance.""There could be enhancements in optimization techniques, as there are some limitations in this area that could be addressed to further refine Spark's performance.""I know there is always discussion about which language to write applications in and some people do love Scala. However, I don't like it.""Its UI can be better. Maintaining the history server is a little cumbersome, and it should be improved. I had issues while looking at the historical tags, which sometimes created problems. You have to separately create a history server and run it. Such things can be made easier. Instead of separately installing the history server, it can be made a part of the whole setup so that whenever you set it up, it becomes available.""Apache Spark should add some resource management improvements to the algorithms."

More Apache Spark Cons →

"The initial setup could be more straightforward.""We would like the deployment of this solution to be easier as, at present, it is quite complicated.""It could provide faster performance.""I expect the solution to offer and include a lot of packages so that it can be configured more easily or the speed level increases, thereby helping it overcome its shortcomings.""I saw some error messages coming up when they were getting problems actually viewing all the reports.""The newer versions of Spring MVC have released a lot of features that we are not using right now because, in many cases, we are limited to running older versions. As such, it would be nice if Spring were to improve support for upgrading to newer versions, especially for legacy applications.""Spring MVC could improve the integration with DevOps and other applications.""Adding more modules takes about 10 to 15 minutes each. It would be nice if they could reduce that part. The deployment time is a little high."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Since we are using the Apache Spark version, not the data bricks version, it is an Apache license version, the support and resolution of the bug are actually late or delayed. The Apache license is free."
  • "Apache Spark is open-source. You have to pay only when you use any bundled product, such as Cloudera."
  • "We are using the free version of the solution."
  • "Apache Spark is not too cheap. You have to pay for hardware and Cloudera licenses. Of course, there is a solution with open source without Cloudera."
  • "Apache Spark is an expensive solution."
  • "Spark is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
  • "On the cloud model can be expensive as it requires substantial resources for implementation, covering on-premises hardware, memory, and licensing."
  • "It is an open-source solution, it is free of charge."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:We use Spark to process data from different data sources.
    Top Answer:In data analysis, you need to take real-time data from different data sources. You need to process this in a subsecond, and do the transformation in a subsecond
    Top Answer:The best feature of Spring MVC is its auto-configuration capabilities.
    Top Answer:In the future, I expect the solution to offer and include a lot of packages so that it can be configured more easily or the speed level increases, thereby helping it overcome its shortcomings.

    Overview

    Spark provides programmers with an application programming interface centered on a data structure called the resilient distributed dataset (RDD), a read-only multiset of data items distributed over a cluster of machines, that is maintained in a fault-tolerant way. It was developed in response to limitations in the MapReduce cluster computing paradigm, which forces a particular linear dataflowstructure on distributed programs: MapReduce programs read input data from disk, map a function across the data, reduce the results of the map, and store reduction results on disk. Spark's RDDs function as a working set for distributed programs that offers a (deliberately) restricted form of distributed shared memory

    Spring MVC is a Java web framework built on the Servlet API and has been included in the Spring Framework from the very beginning.  It handles web applications that use server-rendered HTML user interface, REST APIs, and much more.  The documentation includes Spring MVCView TechnologiesCORS Support, and WebSocket Support

    For baseline information and compatibility with Servlet container and Java EE version ranges please visit the Spring Framework Wiki.
