Matei Zaharia and his team at UC Berkeley’s AMPLab developed Apache Spark. By introducing Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) and processing data entirely in-memory, Spark shattered the slow disk-write bottlenecks of Apache Hadoop’s MapReduce, providing the fast distributed data pipeline backend for modern machine learning pipelines.
