"Best distributed compute engine"
What do you like best about Spark?

Spark's in-memory computations makes it suparfast over traditional Map-Reduce jobs.

Also spark has capacity to not just read from hdfs but also from any storage. Spark streaming is best for streaming applications.

Dataframes are also the best part of spark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark?

There is nothing as such to dislike about spark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
