What is Apache Spark?
Apache Spark is a distributed data processing engine for large-scale batch and streaming workloads. It processes data in memory across a cluster, making it significantly faster than MapReduce for many workloads. Spark supports Python, Scala, Java, and R, and provides APIs for SQL, streaming, machine learning, and graph processing.
