Features
Incredibly Fast
Apache Spark delivers 100x the performance of Apache Hadoop for certain workloads because of its advanced in-memory computing engine.
Easy to Use and Powerful
Apache Spark's Streaming and SQL programming models backed by MLlib and GraphX make it incredibly easy for developers and data scientists to build apps that exploit machine learning and graph analytics. Because the service is 100% compatible with Apache Spark, developers can build their apps and run them against the IBM managed service to benefit from operational, maintenance, and hardware excellence.
Convenient Data Storage
Object Storage enables a convenient way to upload your data from a file for immediate use by your Spark instance. You can set up Object Storage directly from the Spark service interface.
