Apache Hive vs Spark SQL: Feature wise comparison
1. Objective While Apache Hive and Spark SQL perform the same action, retrieving data, each does the task in a different way. However, Hive is planned as an interface or convenience for querying data stored in HDFS. Though, MySQL is planned for online operations requiring many reads and writes. So we will discuss Apache Hive … Continue reading Apache Hive vs Spark SQL: Feature wise comparison

Below we provide a brief … Continue reading Comparing Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark, Flink, and Storm
Spark: Programming with RDDs
A RDD known as Resilient Distributed Dataset in Spark is simply an immutable distributed huge collection of objects sets. Each RDD is split into multiple partitions (a smaller units), which may be computed on different aspects of nodes of the cluster. RDDs can contain any type of languages such as Python, Java, or Scala objects, … Continue reading Spark: Programming with RDDs
