Snowpark Connect for Apache Spark is Snowflake’s take on that technology, enabling enterprises to run their Spark code on Snowflake’s vectorized engine in Data Cloud.
For Snowflake customers, the new capability will make it easy for developers to move their code to Snowpark, essentially offering a combination of Spark’s familiarity and Snowflake’s simplicity, according to Sanjeev Mohan, chief analyst at SanjMo.
Snowpark Connect for Spark will also help enterprises lower their total cost of ownership as developers can take advantage of Snowflake’s serverless engine and no longer have to tune Spark, Mohan said.
