+    <h2>Spark wins CloudSort Benchmark as the most efficient engine</h2>
+
+
+<p>We are proud to announce that Apache Spark won the <a 
href="http://sortbenchmark.org/";>2016 CloudSort Benchmark</a> (both Daytona and 
Indy category). A joint team from Nanjing University, Alibaba Group, and 
Databricks Inc. entered the competition using NADSort, a distributed sorting 
program built on top of Spark, and set a new world record as the most 
cost-efficient way to sort 100TB of data.</p>
+
+<p>They sorted 100TB of data using only $144 USD worth of public cloud 
resources, beating the previous record that cost $451 USD by the University of 
California, San Diego.</p>
+
+<p>This adds to the 2014 GraySort record Spark won, and validates Spark as the 
most efficient data processing engine.</p>
+
+<p>For more information, see the <a 
href="https://databricks.com/blog/2016/11/14/setting-new-world-record-apache-spark.html";>Databricks
 blog article (in English)</a> written by Spark committer Reynold Xin, or the 
Nanjing University <a href="http://scit.nju.edu.cn/Item/1193.aspx";>press

 <p>Spark’s internal job scheduler has been refactored and extended to 
include more sophisticated scheduling policies. In particular, a <a 
href="http://spark.incubator.apache.org/docs/0.8.0/job-scheduling.html#scheduling-within-an-application";>fair
 scheduler</a> implementation now allows multiple users to share an instance of 
Spark, which helps users running shorter jobs to achieve good performance, even 
when longer-running jobs are running in parallel. Support for topology-aware 
scheduling has been extended, including the ability to take into account rack 
locality and support for multiple executors on a single machine.</p>

 <p>Spark’s EC2 scripts now support launching in any availability zone. 
Support has also been added for EC2 instance types which use the newer 
“HVM” architecture. This includes the cluster compute (cc1/cc2) family of 
instance types. We’ve also added support for running newer versions of HDFS 
alongside Spark. Finally, we’ve added the ability to launch clusters with 
maintenance releases of Spark in addition to launching the newest release.</p>

 <p>Spark SQL adds a number of new features and performance improvements in 
this release. A <a

 server</a> allows users to connect to SparkSQL from many different

<a 
href="http://spark.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/sql-programming-guide.html#json-datasets";>support
 for loading JSON data</a> directly into Spark’s SchemaRDD format, including 
automatic schema inference. Spark SQL introduces <a 
href="http://spark.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/sql-programming-guide.html#other-configuration-options";>dynamic
 bytecode generation</a> in this release, a technique which significantly 
speeds up execution for queries that perform complex expression evaluation.  
This release also adds support for registering Python, Scala, and Java lambda 
functions as UDFs, which can then be called directly in SQL. Spark 1.1 adds a 
<a href="ht
 
tp://spark.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/sql-programming-guide.html#programmatically-specifying-the-schema">public
 types API to allow users to create SchemaRDD’s from custom data sources</a>. 
Finally, many optimizations have been added to the native Parquet support as 
well as throughout the engine.</p>

 <p>In 1.2 Spark core upgrades two major subsystems to improve the performance 
and stability of very large scale shuffles. The first is Spark’s 
communication manager used during bulk transfers, which upgrades to a <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2468";>netty-based 
implementation</a>. The second is Spark’s shuffle mechanism, which upgrades 
to the <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3280";>“sort 
based” shuffle initially released in Spark 1.1</a>. These both improve the 
performance and stability of very large scale shuffles. Spark also adds an <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3174";>elastic scaling 
mechanism</a> designed to improve cluster utilization during long running 
ETL-style jobs. This is currently supported on YARN and will make its way to 
other cluster managers in future versions. Finally, Spark 1.2 adds support for 
Scala 2.11. For instructions on building for Scala 2.11 see the <a 
href="/docs/1.2.0/building-spark.ht
 ml#building-for-scala-211">build documentation</a>.</p>
 
 <h3 id="spark-streaming">Spark Streaming</h3>
-<p>This release includes two major feature additions to Spark’s streaming 
library, a Python API and a write ahead log for full driver H/A. The <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2377";>Python API</a> covers 
almost all the DStream transformations and output operations. Input sources 
based on text files and text over sockets are currently supported. Support for 
Kafka and Flume input streams in Python will be added in the next release. 
Second, Spark streaming now features H/A driver support through a <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3129";>write ahead log 
(WAL)</a>. In Spark 1.1 and earlier, some buffered (received but not yet 
processed) data can be lost during driver restarts. To prevent this Spark 1.2 
adds an optional WAL, which buffers received data into a fault-tolerant file 
system (e.g. HDFS). See the <a 
href="/docs/1.2.0/streaming-programming-guide.html">streaming programming 
guide</a> for more details.</p>
+<p>This release includes two major feature additions to Spark’s streaming 
library, a Python API and a write ahead log for full driver H/A. The <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2377";>Python API</a> covers 
almost all the DStream transformations and output operations. Input sources 
based on text files and text over sockets are currently supported. Support for 
Kafka and Flume input streams in Python will be added in the next release.

 <p>Spark 1.2 previews a new set of machine learning API’s in a package 
called spark.ml that <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3530";>supports learning 
pipelines</a>, where multiple algorithms are run in sequence with varying 
parameters. This type of pipeline is common in practical machine learning 
deployments. The new ML package uses Spark’s SchemaRDD to represent <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3573";>ML datasets</a>, 
providing direct interoperability with Spark SQL. In addition to the new API, 
Spark 1.2 extends decision trees with two tree ensemble methods: <a 
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1545";>random forests</a> and 
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1547";>gradient-boosted 
trees</a>, among the most successful tree-based models for classification and 
regression. Finally, MLlib&#8217;s Python implementation receives a major 
update in 1.2 to simplify the process of adding Python APIs, along with better 
 Python API coverage.</p>
