Hadoop is an open source software from Apache, supporting distributed processing and data storage. Hadoop is popular for its scalability, reliability, and functionality available across commoditized hardware.
Apache Spark has an in memory processing model, making it powerful for lightning fast data processing. Apache Spark also exposes Scala and Python in APIs which is one of the most commonly used programming languages in data analytic and data processing domains.
Apache Spark can be considered as an alternative because of its similar capabilities around processing and storing big data. The reason we went with Hadoop was the literature available online and integration capability with platforms like R Studio. The popularity of Hadoop has …
Spark is a good alternative to Hadoop that can have faster querying and processing performance and can offer more flexibility in terms of applications that it can support.
Google BigQuery has also been a great alternative and is especially great in terms of ease of use. The …

Chose Apache Hadoop
Hands down, Hadoop is less expensive than the other platforms we considered. Cloudera was easier to set up but the expense ruled it out. MS-SQL didn't have the performance we saw with the Hadoop clusters and was more expensive. We considered MS-SQL mainly for its ability …
Hadoop provides storage for large data sets and a powerful processing model to crunch and transform huge amounts of data. It does not assume the underlying hardware or infrastructure and enables the users to build data processing infrastructure from commodity hardware. All the …
Apache Spark is a fast-processing in-memory computing framework. It is 10 times faster than Apache Hadoop. Earlier we were using Apache Hadoop for processing data on the disk but now we are shifted to Apache Spark because of its in-memory computation capability. Also in SAP …
How does Apache Spark perform against competing tools? I think Apache Spark does well in processing large volumes of data. The machine learning models also seem to be easier to program and interpret. With that said, the programming side of Apache Spark seems more difficult …
1. Apache Spark is almost 100 % faster than Hadoop. 2. Apache Spark is more stable than Amazon EMR. 3. The end to end distributed machine library is more robust in Apache Spark.

Chose Apache Spark
I prefer Apache Spark compared to Hadoop, since in my experience Spark has more usability and comes equipped with simple APIs for Scala, Python, Java and Spark SQL, as well as provides feedback in REPL format on the commands. At the same time, Apache Spark seems to have the …
All the above systems work quite well on big data transformations whereas Spark really shines with its bigger API support and its ability to read from and write to multiple data sources. Using Spark one can easily switch between declarative versus imperative versus functional …
Spark in comparison to similar technologies ends up being a one stop shop. You can achieve so much with this one framework instead of having to stitch and weave multiple technologies from the Hadoop stack, all while getting incredibility performance, minimal boilerplate, and …
Apache Pig and Apache Hive provide most of the things spark provide but apache spark has more features like actions and transformations which are easy to code. Spark uses optimization technique as we can select driver program and manipulate DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) Python …
Spark has primarily replaced my use of writing pure Hadoop MapReduce or Apache Pig jobs for processing data. I like the fact that I can alternate between the main programming languages that I know - Java and Python - and use those to learn the Scala API. Spark also can be …
