Hi Ignite team, My name is Iker Huerga, I'm a Software Engineer, Data Scientist and entrepreneur with more than 8 years of experience in Java, I was a Lucene/Solr contributor in the past, and have been using Hadoop in production for more than 3 years now.
After being contacted by one the members of this community I got intriged by the project you guys are working on. I took a look at the code and documentation, and would like to say 'kudos' to all of you. It's clear that there is a huge amount of work behind Ignite. I would like to see whether I can be a contributor to Ignite, but there's been a question in the back of my mind since I started reading about Ignite, what is the main difference with Apache Spark? Please note that I've already read the proposal [1], and I get the point that Ignite is a more general in-memory engine. But Spark also provide streaming processing, mapreduce computations, etc. Would you say the main difference is ACID trx in memory? Also, what is the route map for Ignite? Is it production ready? Sorry for so many questions..... in exchange of an answer I can take care of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-640 if you guys want to assign it to me Thanks in advance!
