Apache Spark
Apache Spark is an open-source distributed big data processing framework maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. Its core advantage lies in in-memory computation, which significantly improves processing speed compared to traditional disk-based frameworks. Spark supports batch processing, stream processing, machine learning, and graph computation, and provides APIs for Java, Scala, Python (PySpark), and R. It is widely used in data engineering, data analytics, and machine learning.
Core Facts
Databricks is a leading vendor in the data and AI platform space.
Databricks was founded in 2013 by the founding team of Apache Spark.
Databricks is a unified data analytics platform based on Apache Spark, originally created by the Spark founding team.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Structured Streaming is the stream computing engine built into Apache Spark.
Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP) is a declarative paradigm built on top of Spark that delegates dependency resolution, execution order, incremental refresh, and failure retries to the runtime.
The RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark is a Spark plugin provided by NVIDIA based on cuDF that, by replacing nodes in Spark's physical execution plan, lets SQL, DataFrame, and some UDFs execute on the GPU in a columnar batch manner.
Spark's Catalyst optimizer cannot see inside UDFs to do operator pushdown or vectorization, and Python UDFs require serialized parameter passing between the JVM and the Python process, making per-row invocation overhead significant.
A Spark UDF (User Defined Function) is a custom function registered by a user in Spark SQL or the DataFrame API, usually written in Python (PySpark) or Scala/Java, that returns one output value for each row of input.
Databricks' Delta Lake and Apache Spark runtime are typical implementations of the lakehouse architecture.
Spark's RLS implementation relies on extensions to the DataSourceV2 interface.
Apache Spark was launched by Matei Zaharia in 2009 as a research project.
The core innovation of Apache Spark lies in caching datasets in memory, which can achieve speed improvements of 10 to 100 times over Hadoop MapReduce in iterative computing scenarios.
Databricks was co-founded in 2013 with the commercialization of Spark as its starting point.
