Update site look and add pages for Streaming and MLlib
This monster commit does a variety of things: - Update the site look and feel to be cleaner - Add top-level points to front page - Add a listing of related projects, and pages for those included in Spark - Reorganize docs and community pages - Make sure the site scales properly on mobile devices - Add tabs to let users view the examples in any programming language It's just a start, but should be a step towards a better web presence.

-## What is Apache Spark?
-Apache Spark is an open source cluster computing system that aims to make data analytics <em>fast</em> — both fast to run and fast to write.
-To run programs faster, Spark offers a general execution model that can optimize arbitrary operator graphs, and supports in-memory computing, which lets it query data faster than disk-based engines like Hadoop.
+<div class="jumbotron">
+ <b>Apache Spark</b> is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing.
+</div>
-To make programming faster, Spark provides clean, concise APIs in
-<a href="http://www.scala-lang.org" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.scala-lang.org']);">Scala</a>,
-<a href="{{site.url}}docs/latest/quick-start.html#a-standalone-app-in-java">Java</a> and
-<a href="{{site.url}}docs/latest/quick-start.html#a-standalone-app-in-python" >Python</a>.
-You can also use Spark interactively from the Scala and Python shells to rapidly query big datasets.
+<div class="row row-padded">
+ <div class="col-md-7 col-sm-7">
+ <h2>Speed</h2>
-## What can it do?
+ <p class="lead">
+ Run programs up to 100x faster than
+ Hadoop MapReduce in memory, or 10x faster on disk.
+ </p>
-Spark was initially developed for two applications where placing data in memory helps: <em>iterative</em> algorithms, which are common in machine learning, and <em>interactive</em> data mining. In both cases, Spark can run up to <b>100x</b> faster than Hadoop MapReduce. However, you can use Spark for general data processing too. Check out our <a href="{{site.url}}examples.html" >example jobs</a>.
+ <p>
+ Spark has an advanced DAG execution engine that supports cyclic data flow and
+ in-memory computing.

+</div>
-Spark is also the engine behind <a href="http://shark.cs.berkeley.edu" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://shark.cs.berkeley.edu']);">Shark</a>, a fully <a href="http://hive.apache.org" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://hive.apache.org']);">Apache Hive</a>-compatible data warehousing system that can run 100x faster than Hive.
+<div class="row row-padded">
+ <div class="col-md-7 col-sm-7">
+ <h2>Ease of Use</h2>
-While Spark is a new engine, it can access any data source supported by Hadoop, making it easy to run over existing data.
+ <p class="lead">
+ Write applications quickly in Java, Scala or Python.
+ </p>
-## Who uses it?
-Spark was initially created in the <a href="https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu']);">UC Berkeley AMPLab</a>, but is now being used and developed at a wide array of companies.
-See our <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Powered+By+Spark">powered by page</a> for a list of users,
-and our <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Committers">list of committers</a>.
-In total, over 25 companies have contributed code to Spark.
-Spark is <a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://github.com']);">open source</a> under an Apache license, so <a href="{{site.url}}downloads.html" >download</a> it to try it out.
+ <p>
+ Spark offers over 80 high-level operators that make it easy to build parallel apps.
+ And you can use it <em>interactively</em>
+ from the Scala and Python shells.

-## Apache Incubator notice
-Apache Spark is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
