Speaker: Rick Conrad. Rick is a Cloudera Pre-Sales Engineer and Hadoop Enthusiast.

Event takeaways (3-4 key takeaways):

• What is Spark
• The benefits of Spark in Hadoop
• Cloudera’s leadership with Spark
• Overview of the One Platform Initiative and the roadmap for Spark

Abstract: Apache Spark is one of the most popular open source projects today, and for good reason. This general purpose data processing framework for Hadoop provides huge advantages to data engineers and data scientists - with powerful, easy to use APIs and faster performance for batch and stream processing. Spark has been adopted by hundreds of organizations across a wide range of industries to power some of the most cutting edge use cases.

With its popularity, development ease, and performance benefits, Spark is primed to become the next general processing layer for Hadoop - succeeding MapReduce. However, to make this a reality, there is still work to be done. With a community wide focus on Management, Security, Scale, and Streaming, the One Platform Initiative aims to fill in those gaps - uniting Spark and Hadoop into a cohesive, enterprise-grade platform.
