It is a stable solution, but when it comes to patch updates and different reports being updated, it can be a headache.
When an application is built on top of certain reports with specific versions, and then the version changes, it can lead to a lot of things needing to be adjusted. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

The solution is stable, but not completely. For example, we use Exadata as an extremely stable data warehouse, but that's not possible with big data. There are things that you have to fix sometimes. The stability is similar to the cloud solution, but that depends on the solution you need.

The solution was definitely stable. There were no unstable services in it. Since most services were in Azure, everything worked better.
Azure's networking products, like ExpressRoute and Private Link service, are very stable. We didn't encounter any issues with the solution.
It took some time to complete, but after that, we haven't had a single support case.
Apache Spark is stable.

View full review »Apache Spark is generally considered a stable product, with rare instances of breaking down. Issues may arise in sudden increases in data volume, leading to memory errors, but these can typically be managed with autoscaling clusters. Additionally, schema changes or irregularities in streaming data may pose challenges, but these could be addressed in future software versions.

It is the most stable platform. As compare to Flink, Spark is good, especially in terms of clusters and architecture. My colleagues who set up these clusters say that Spark is the easiest.

View full review »Spark Streaming is difficult to stabilize as you're always dependant to your stream flow. If you start to be late on the consumer you've a serious problem. We've encountered a lot of stability issue to configure it as expected
View full review »Generally, Spark works correctly without any errors. It may give out some errors if your data changes, but in that case, it's a problem with the configuration, not with Spark.

In terms of stability, I have not seen any bugs, glitches or crashes. Even if there is, that's fine, because I would probably take care of it and then I'd have progressed further in the process.

There were bugs three to four years ago, which have been resolved. There were a couple of issues related to slowness when we did a lot of transformations using the Width columns. I was writing a POC on ETL for moving from Informatica to Spark SQL for the ETL pipeline. It required the use of hundreds of Width columns to change the column name or add some transformation, which made it slow. It happened in versions prior to version 1.6, and it seems that this issue has been fixed later on.

This product is pretty stable. Companies like Facebook, Uber, and Netflix are all using Apache Spark. It's stable enough to be used all over the world.
View full review »In the past we deployed Spark 1.3 to use Spark SQL but unfortunately one of our queries failed because of a bug fixed in following releases. Then we moved to Spark 1.6 but still some queries were failing when run against huge datasets. Now we are using version 2.1: it is more stable, it ensures better performances and the SQL/ML parts are reacher than before.
View full review »We met some standalone deployment issues, which showed that its stability is not that good. So we plan to switch to Yarn or Mesos mode
