Scalability and Performance:
- Distributed Processing: Spark excels in distributing data processing tasks across multiple nodes, which significantly speeds up processing times for large datasets.
- In-Memory Computing: Spark's in-memory computing capabilities allow for faster data processing as compared to disk-based processing, reducing the time for iterative algorithms and data transformations.
- Resource Management: Spark integrates well with cluster managers like YARN, Mesos, or Kubernetes, which allows for efficient resource allocation and scalability.
Fault Tolerance and Data Integrity:
- Lineage-Based Fault Recovery: Spark's RDDs maintain a lineage of transformations that allows them to rebuild lost data automatically, enhancing fault tolerance without the need for manual intervention.
- ACID Transactions with Delta Lake: Integrating with Delta Lake provides ACID properties to data operations, ensuring data integrity acr
