Is scala required for spark?..

Answer / Rana Singh

"No, Scala is not strictly required for Apache Spark. Although it was one of the original languages designed for use with Spark, the system also supports Java, Python, and R for API access. However, many core Spark developers are more familiar with Scala, which can lead to a greater number of resources and libraries available for that language."n
