Apache Kafka VS Apache Spark

Apache Kafka — a distributed event streaming platform implementing a variant of the Raft consensus protocol (written in Java, integrated with Scala);

Spring does this during autoconfiguration. For example this and this. When the user adds a configuration then it gets to overwrite the default from the template. I am looking for something similar, perhaps simpler approach.

Code is still in trunk though. https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/connect/file/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/file

I briefly described the algorithm in this article and there is a wonderful article from Kafka that goes into more depth in their general purpose implementation. My implementation is specialized and over optimized in comparison, e.g. by using bit manipulation to avoid more expensive division/modulus instructions. Tokio rewrote their timerwheel after I showed them mine, borrowing some ideas but also staying more general. Hope that helps!

Recently I had to revisit the "JVM languages universe" again. Yes, language(s), plural! Java isn't the only language that uses the JVM. I previously used Scala, which is a JVM language, to use Apache Spark for Data Engineering workloads, but this is for another post 😉.

Consume data into third party software (then let Open Search or Apache Spark or Apache Pinot) for analysis/datascience, GIS systems (so you can put reports on a map) or any ticket management system

also, this knowledge applies to learning more about data engineering, as this field of software engineering relies heavily on the event-driven approach via tools like Spark, Flink, Kafka, etc.

Apache SeaTunnel is a data integration platform that offers the three pillars of data pipelines: sources, transforms, and sinks. It offers an abstract API over three possible engines: the Zeta engine from SeaTunnel or a wrapper around Apache Spark or Apache Flink. Be careful, as each engine comes with its own set of features.

Apache Spark - https://spark.apache.org/

A JVM based framework named "Spark", when https://spark.apache.org exists?

I recently saw a pull request that was merged to the Apache/Spark repository that apparently adds initial Python bindings for PySpark on K8s. I posted a comment to the PR asking a question about how to use spark-on-k8s in a Python Jupyter notebook, and was told to ask my question here.
