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.
