It's interesting as it shows that people are using Spark for something other than for the traditional web/enterprise analytics. Most of the summit was focused on BI related use cases so it was really nice to see something different for a change.
It's important as the speed and interactivity of Spark has apparently helped the lab quite a lot in their research efforts. Some of the things shown in the video, particularly the real-time refocusing at the end of the video, would have been a lot more difficult, if not impossible, without something like Spark (or similar)
- closetnerd 12y agoI think Spark is from the Berkeley AMPLabs which is primarily focused of machine intelligence, data mining and artificial intelligence in general. Most, if not all, of there projects (https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/projects/ https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/projects/) are geared at solving similar problems. I just don't see how this particular application is so important. At most, it seems to be demonstration of sparks capacities but again it was geared for high performance cluster computing anyways.
