Microsoft Gives Support To Apache Spark; Details Here
Eve CesistaMicrosoft officials are getting ready to give its support and insight to Apache Spark big-data processing engine at the Spark Summit in San Francisco happening this June 6-8.
According to IT Pro Portal, the company is expanding its commitment to the latter with HDInsight, Cortana Intelligence Suite, Power BI and Microsoft R Server. There are certain acquisitions and changes that happened about the R Server but the outcome remains positive.
Notably, Microsoft acquired Revolution Analytics for its R programming language which is said to be useful in "statistical computing and predictive analytics." As a result, they will be able to put "R" into some of their products.
Microsoft made its latest version of SQL Server generally available on June 1, which is integrated with the programming language. They will also launch the R Server for Hadoop on-premises that will offer support for Microsoft R as well as Spark's native execution frameworks anytime soon.
"Combining R Server with Spark gives users the ability to run R functions over thousands of Spark nodes letting you train your models on data 1000x larger and 100x faster than was possible with open source R and nearly 2x faster than Spark's own MLLib," as stated on their online blog.
R Server for HDInsight is going to be available to the public later this summer. It will have the Spark integration for both the cloud and on-premise version of HDInsight. Meanwhile, despite being seen as the competitor of Hadoop, Power BI is also going to have features with new support for Spark Streaming scenarios.
For those who are not so keen with tech jargons, Apache Spark is simply defined as "a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing." Read some of the descriptions here.
There will be more updates soon after Microsoft offers support to Apache Spark on the event, so stay tuned.
