Spark Muscles Into Big Data Processing

It comes as no great surprise that the Apache Spark architecture has been horning in on the batch processing domain once controlled by Hadoop's MapReduce. But that's only part of the story. With data processing, streaming and machine learning capabilities on its résumé, the open source engine is learning to get along entirely without Hadoop in certain applications. In fact, one industry analyst cautiously sees a day when Spark could declare total independence, potentially bust up Hadoop cluster dominance and link separately with other Apache technologies. 

In this three-part handbook, senior news writer Jack Vaughan examines the distinct advantages the Apache Spark architecture has over MapReduce. Also highlighted is how Spark's ability to process and analyze streaming data is helping detect fraudulent activities at a major banking and credit-card company. Next, Spark 2.0's upcoming upgrades to analytics speed, machine learning libraries, SQL support and stream processing are detailed. To close, Vaughan and senior news writer Ed Burns look at combining Spark and NoSQL databases in operational analytics applications, which could help broaden the use of both technologies.

  • Financial services firms moving to the cloud

    The financial services industry is often described as being a laggard when it comes to cloud adoption, thanks to how highly-regulated the sector is. But things seem to be changing.

    While the regulatory environment can act as a barrier to innovation, there are numerous examples emerging of financial services firms who are refusing to let it affect the pace of their digital transformation plans.

    In many cases, they simply cannot afford to, as the list of challenger banks (who are ripping up the rulebook governing how financial services firms should operate) continues to grow, and the expectations about how customers want to do business with them changes.

    In this e-guide, we’ll take a look at how some of the world’s biggest financial brands are moving to the cloud, and share a cautionary tale or two about the mistakes some have made while trying to get there.
