This document discusses Cloudera's initiative to make Spark the standard execution engine for Hadoop. It outlines how Spark improves on MapReduce by leveraging distributed memory and having a simpler developer experience. It also describes Cloudera's investments in areas like management, security, scale, and streaming to further Spark's capabilities and make it production-ready. The goal is for Spark to replace MapReduce as the execution engine and for specialized engines like Impala to handle specific workloads, with all sharing the same data, metadata, resource management, and other platform services.
