Visual Spark Studio IDE For Spark Apps. i-programmer.info March 1, 2018.

The new free Spark Studio IDE allows spark users to build, test and run spark applications on desktop. The IDE is a free cut-down version of the Impetus StreamAnalytix platform and acts as a lightweight development tool for processing data and performing analytics on apache spark data. This IDE can be used to build Spark applications for both batch and streaming mode with ready-to-use operators to drag and drop,select,  connect, and  configure connectors for a completely functional apache spark pipeline. The IDE can also be used to receive data from local data sources and other data targets and has all the machine learning capabilities of StreamAnalytix platform in a single instance.

What’s new in Apache Spark? Low-latency streaming and Kubernetes.InfoWorld.com, March 15, 2018.

Apache Spark 2.3 has been released with two novel features - the biggest and major enhancement is change to the streaming operations since the time Spark Streaming has been added to the Apache Spark project. Spark 2.3 version brings Continuous Processing to Structured Streaming that will provide low-latency responses on the order of 1 millisecond instead of 100  millisecond which you are likely to get with micro-batching.The other major enhancement in 2.3 is the integration of Kubernetes for executing Apache Spark jobs in container clusters.Native integration of Kubernetes will make Hadoop deployments temperamental beasts. Organizations will move their Spark deployments onto Kubernetes either in the cloud or on-premise.
