will Spark support Clojure? -
i start learning functional programming , clojure appeals me most, love community, syntax , concept of immutable data structures. interested in bio inspired ml rich data numenta. however, huge concern spark not support yet, , spark rocks!!! there flambo flambo clojure ,but satisfactory solution?
my course , job in scala. should defeat , enter scala world or think should focus solely on clojure?
being author or sparkling (thanks josh rosen pointing out), can tell use @ our company etl processing.
here's what's good:
- it provides clojuristic way of interacting spark, , can see in presentation "big data style - clojure/spark way"
- it's optimized performance
- it's used in production , there others using it
here's what's missing:
- there's no support spark streaming, spark sql, spark dataframes or spark ml. might come in future, i'm happy accept pull requests, it's not main focus (at time of writing, april 2015).
i hope helps make mind on going clojure or starting learn scala.
