What is difference between spark and mapreduce?..

Answer / Navneet Sahu

While both are frameworks for large-scale data processing, Apache Spark differs from MapReduce in several ways. Spark provides a more user-friendly API, supports iterative computation, offers in-memory processing (RDDs), and has faster performance due to its ability to run on the same JVM as batch jobs and real-time applications.
