What type of results that can I get using Apache SPARK

[#1]

Hello experts,

I already have some data in HDFS, and some tables with Hive, I would like to do some data analysis/data mining. But I don't know If I use Spark or other Analytics Tool.

What type of analysis/analytics work can I do with Spark?

Hello Pedro

Spark core is a general purpose in memory analytics engine. Adding to spark core things like sparkSQL or SparkML you can do many interesting analytics or Datascience modelling, in a programatic or sql fashion. Maybe this tutorial can help you in your first steps.
