    Apache
    Apache Spark Streaming is a tool that we are using for almost a year and is excellent in managing batch processing. It is user-friendly. Using it, we can even process our massive data in fractions of seconds. Its pricing is its other plus point. Only its In-memory processing is its demerit as it occupies a large memory.

    Apache Spark Streaming stands above all the huge data transformative tools because of its speed of processing which was quite slow in Presto as it takes a lot of our time in the data processing. Spark, comfortably provides integration with Jupyter like notebook environment. and Spark's combination with Jupyter and Python results in enhancing the speed .
