Hi all, We are excited to announce that the benchmark entry has been reviewed by the Sort Benchmark committee and Spark has officially won the Daytona GraySort contest in sorting 100TB of data.
Our entry tied with a UCSD research team building high performance systems and we jointly set a new world record. This is an important milestone for the project, as it validates the amount of engineering work put into Spark by the community. As Matei said, "For an engine to scale from these multi-hour petabyte batch jobs down to 100-millisecond streaming and interactive queries is quite uncommon, and it's thanks to all of you folks that we are able to make this happen."
