What problems is Spark Streaming solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using spark streaming on data bricks helped us create event/data pipelines much quicker and its ability to process data faster made us achieve near real-time analytics. We also used delta lake on top of that which helped us store data which is used for analytics and other purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Spark Streaming?

Spark is a very powerful framework and we run spark streaming jobs for multiple requirements such as gathering data from flume, kafka ,sqoop , hdfs and pushing it into other nodes.

One of the daily used spark streaming job is for copying our data from production to DR using spark streaming job. What we do here is we copy the fsimages from production and dr cluster, and then run a spark streaming job to flatten the image and calculate diff, post which the data is then pushed to a database and data is copied from production to dr using the diff of namespace image. We have copied almost 800+ TB data using this streaming job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Streaming?

Spark streaming jobs are resources intensive as well as complex so you need engineers who know well how to tune the job else one spark streaming job could consume resources enough to bring a multi-node cluster down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spark Streaming solving and how is that benefiting you?

1.Data copy from production to dr using spark streaming pipeline

2.Collection of data from kafka brokers, cleansing the records and pushing it to the kafka producers

3.Gathering data from multiple flume agents running for various businesses and pushing them to hadoop hdfs

4. Analysing data from different airtel towers to create meaningful metrics to service our customers better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
