Built-in Libraries:
SQL and DataFrames
Write applications quickly in Java, Scala, Python, .select("name.first").show()
Spark Streaming
R, and SQL. Spark's Python DataFrame API
MLlib (machine learning)
GraphX (graph)
Read JSON files with automatic schema inference
Spark offers over 80 high-level operators that make it easy to build parallel Third-Party Projects
apps. And you can use it interactively from the Scala, Python, R, and SQL
shells.

Generality
Combine SQL, streaming, and complex analytics.

Spark powers a stack of libraries including SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for
machine learning, GraphX, and Spark Streaming. You can combine these
libraries seamlessly in the same application.

Runs Everywhere
Spark runs on Hadoop, Apache Mesos,
Kubernetes, standalone, or in the cloud. It can
access diverse data sources.

You can run Spark using its standalone cluster mode, on EC2, on Hadoop
YARN, on Mesos, or on Kubernetes. Access data in HDFS, Alluxio, Apache
Cassandra, Apache HBase, Apache Hive, and hundreds of other data
sources.
