I did a performance benchmark during my summer internship . I am currently a grad student. Can't reveal much about the specific project but Spark is still faster than around 4-5th iteration of Tez of the same query/dataset. By Iteration I mean utilizing the "hot-container" property of Apache Tez . See latest release of Tez and some hortonworks tutorials on their website.
The only problem with Spark adoption is the steep learning curve of Scala , and understanding the API properly.
