A Data Warehouse System is a digital system that stores and analyzes data from
multiple sources. Over time, the Big Data landscape has been dominated by two
popular frameworks: Apache Spark and Hadoop. Let us explore the final
differentiator!
HADOOP
Big Data experts use Hadoop as a distributed
processing framework that utilizes the MapReduce
paradigm. It breaks down large datasets into smaller
chunks and processes them in parallel across a
cluster of machines.
APACHE SPARK
HADOOP APACHE SPARK
Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster
computing system. It extends the MapReduce
model by enabling in-memory data processing,
which significantly ramps up iterative computations.

The choice between Hadoop and Spark depends on the specific requirements of your
project. In some cases, it may even make sense to use both frameworks together,
leveraging the strengths of each.

SPARK is great for …
• Iterative algorithms, real-time
analysis, ML algorithms, large
graph processing
• Large data analysis, analysis where
time factor is not crucial,
step-by-step data processing of large
datasets, perfect for managing large
