Great reference! I just skimmed through the results without reading
much of the methodology - but it looks like Spark outperforms
Stratosphere fairly consistently in the experiments. It's too bad the
data sources only range from 2GB to 8GB. Who knows if the apparent
pattern would extend out

There was one exception the paper noted, which was when memory resources were
constrained. In that case, Stratosphere seemed to have degraded more gracefully
than Spark, but the author did not explore it deeper.
Someone (Ze Ni, https://www.sics.se/people/ze-ni) has actually attempted
such a comparative study as a Masters thesis:

According to this snapshot (c. 2013), Stratosphere is different from Spark
in not having an explicit concept of
