Abstract:
This talk will cover the new features in the Spark 1.0 release, which is due out early May. I'll be talking as a Spark Committer and the 1.0 release manager.
Spark 1.0 adds several new features and improved usability and performance. The talk will introduce SparkSQL, a relational execution engine that is tightly integrated with the core Spark API. It will also cover Spark 1.0's support for Java 8 lambdas, new improvements to Spark's machine learning library, support for Hadoop security, and several other features. I'll close by talking about the schedule for future releases and the Spark roadmap post 1.0
