Apache Spark vs. Java vs. Oracle Machine Learning vs. PySpark Comparison Chart

Apache Spark™ is a unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing. Apache Spark achieves high performance for both batch and streaming data, using a state-of-the-art DAG scheduler, a query optimizer, and a physical execution engine. Spark offers over 80 high-level operators that make it easy to build parallel apps. And you can use it interactively from the Scala, Python, R, and SQL shells. Spark powers a stack of libraries including SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX, and Spark Streaming. You can combine these libraries seamlessly in the same application. Spark runs on Hadoop, Apache Mesos, Kubernetes, standalone, or in the cloud. It can access diverse data sources. You can run Spark using its standalone cluster mode, on EC2, on Hadoop YARN, on Mesos, or on Kubernetes. Access data in HDFS, Alluxio, Apache Cassandra, Apache HBase, Apache Hive, and hundreds of other data sources.

Machine learning uncovers hidden patterns and insights in enterprise data, generating new value for the business. Oracle Machine Learning accelerates the creation and deployment of machine learning models for data scientists using reduced data movement, AutoML technology, and simplified deployment. Increase data scientist and developer productivity and reduce their learning curve with familiar open source-based Apache Zeppelin notebook technology. Notebooks support SQL, PL/SQL, Python, and markdown interpreters for Oracle Autonomous Database so users can work with their language of choice when developing models. A no-code user interface supporting AutoML on Autonomous Database to improve both data scientist productivity and non-expert user access to powerful in-database algorithms for classification and regression. Data scientists gain integrated model deployment from the Oracle Machine Learning AutoML User Interface.
