Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is useful for handling large amounts of data. It is very useful for scientific purposes.""Provides a lot of good documentation compared to other solutions.""Spark can handle small to huge data and is suitable for any size of company.""The deployment of the product is easy.""One of the key features is that Apache Spark is a distributed computing framework. You can help multiple slaves and distribute the workload between them.""Features include machine learning, real time streaming, and data processing.""The solution has been very stable.""Its scalability and speed are very valuable. You can scale it a lot. It is a great technology for big data. It is definitely better than a lot of earlier warehouse or pipeline solutions, such as Informatica. Spark SQL is very compliant with normal SQL that we have been using over the years. This makes it easy to code in Spark. It is just like using normal SQL. You can use the APIs of Spark or you can directly write SQL code and run it. This is something that I feel is useful in Spark."

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

More Spot Ocean Pros →

Cons
"Needs to provide an internal schedule to schedule spark jobs with monitoring capability.""Stability in terms of API (things were difficult, when transitioning from RDD to DataFrames, then to DataSet).""Dynamic DataFrame options are not yet available.""The solution needs to optimize shuffling between workers.""Apache Spark provides very good performance The tuning phase is still tricky.""We use big data manager but we cannot use it as conditional data so whenever we're trying to fetch the data, it takes a bit of time.""The setup I worked on was really complex.""We are building our own queries on Spark, and it can be improved in terms of query handling."

"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."

    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.
