Apache Spark is becoming one of the hottest topics in the Big Data. Join the Hortonworks APAC team on an Apache Spark session (with Pizza and refreshments) sponsored by Hortonworks and EMC to hear about the latest happening with Apache Spark and how BI and Data Scientists are using it in real life and how it can benefit a lot of workloads that requires such platform.
