Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The good performance. The nice graphical management console. The long list of ML algorithms.""The fault tolerant feature is provided.""There's a lot of functionality.""I found the solution stable. We haven't had any problems with it.""I feel the streaming is its best feature.""It's easy to prepare parallelism in Spark, run the solution with specific parameters, and get good performance.""The solution has been very stable."

"The solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow."

Cons
"The migration of data between different versions could be improved.""When you are working with large, complex tasks, the garbage collection process is slow and affects performance.""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 management tools could use improvement. Some of the debugging tools need some work as well. They need to be more descriptive.""If you have a Spark session in the background, sometimes it's very hard to kill these sessions because of D allocation.""The solution’s integration with other platforms should be improved.""We are building our own queries on Spark, and it can be improved in terms of query handling.""It requires overcoming a significant learning curve due to its robust and feature-rich nature."

More Apache Spark Cons →

"The solution doesn't have support from OCI, and it should start working to onboard OCI."

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 solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow.
    Top Answer:The solution doesn't have support from OCI, and it should start working to onboard OCI.
    Top Answer:We use Spot Ocean to manage our Kubernetes infrastructure, including AKS and EKS.

    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

    Spot Ocean simplifies infrastructure management for container and Kubernetes environments. It continuously analyzes how containers are using infrastructure, automatically scaling compute resources to maximize utilization and availability utilizing the optimal blend of spot, reserved and on-demand compute instances. With robust, container-driven auto-scaling and built-in right-sizing for container resource requirements, engineers can code more, while operations can literally “set and forget” the underlying cloud infrastructure.

    Ocean is working on AWS, Azure ang GCP.
