  • Abstract
    This paper shares our experiences building and benchmarking Spindle as an open source Spark-based web analytics platform. Spindle´s design has been motivated by real-world queries and data requiring concurrent, low latency query execution. We identify a search space of Spark tuning options and study their impact on Spark´s performance. Results from a self-hosted six node cluster with one week of analytics data (13.1GB) indicate tuning options such as proper partitioning can cause a 5x performance improvement.
