FAQ

How to install Apache Spark on a virtual or dedicated server?

To install Apache Spark, you need to select it while ordering a server on the HOSTKEY website. Our auto-deployment system will install it on your server.

I am having trouble installing and/or using Apache Spark

If you have any difficulties or questions when installing and/or using this software, carefully learn the documentation on the official website of the developer, read about typical problems and how to solve them or contact Apache Spark support.

Why rent a server with Apache Spark pre-installed?

It takes less time to set up and guarantees your environment is running efficiently from the beginning. You can start jobs as soon as you want.

What’s the difference between a Spark VPS and a dedicated Spark server?

A VPS is suitable for development and when you need to handle small tasks. A dedicated server provides all the resources and speed your business needs for large-scale processing.

Can I use Apache Spark for real-time data processing?

Yes. Spark is able to handle real-time feeds using structured streaming.

Does Spark on HOSTKEY support ML and graph processing?

Absolutely. Spark MLlib is for machine learning and GraphX is used for graph processing.

Are Spark servers at HOSTKEY secure and reliable?

Yes. All data centers are equipped with strong security and are watched around the clock. DDoS protection and uptime with an SLA are included as well.

Apache Spark

Apache Spark is a unified engine for large-scale data analytics used for data engineering, data science, and machine learning on single-node machines or clusters.

In-Memory Computation

Spark performs computations in memory, significantly improving processing speed and efficiency compared to disk-based frameworks like Hadoop MapReduce.

Distributed Data Processing

Spark distributes data across multiple nodes in a cluster, enabling parallel data processing and faster execution times for large-scale datasets.

Unified Data Analytics Engine

Combines multiple workloads such as batch processing, streaming, machine learning, and graph processing within a single framework, simplifying complex data workflows.

Support for Multiple Languages

Provides APIs for various programming languages, including Python, Java, Scala, and R, making it accessible to a broader range of developers and data scientists.

Spark SQL and DataFrames

Allows querying and manipulating structured data using SQL-like queries through Spark SQL and DataFrames, providing a familiar interface for working with structured and semi-structured data.

Real-Time Stream Processing

With Spark Streaming and Structured Streaming, Spark can process real-time data streams, enabling applications that require low-latency and high-throughput data processing.

Machine Learning Library (MLlib)

Offers a scalable machine learning library that includes algorithms for classification, regression, clustering, and collaborative filtering, as well as tools for feature extraction and transformation.

Graph Processing with GraphX

Spark includes the GraphX library for graph processing and analysis, making it possible to build and manipulate graphs and perform complex graph computations.

Fault Tolerance

Spark uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets) for fault tolerance, allowing it to recover lost data and recompute results automatically in case of node failures.

What customers say

After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

Stefan Neykov Crytek

doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.

Wimdo Blaauboer doXray

We would like to thank HOSTKEY for providing us with high-quality hosting services for over 4 years. Ip-label has been able to conduct many of its more than 100 million daily measurements through HOSTKEY’s servers, making our meteorological coverage even more complete.
