      Usable in Java, Scala, Python, and R.

    <p>
      MLlib fits into <a href="/">Spark</a>'s
      APIs and interoperates with <a href="http://www.numpy.org">NumPy</a>
      in Python (as of Spark 0.9) and R libraries (as of Spark 1.5).
      You can use any Hadoop data source (e.g. HDFS, HBase, or local files), making it
      easy to plug into Hadoop workflows.

    <p class="lead">
      High-quality algorithms, 100x faster than MapReduce.
    </p>
    <p>
      Spark excels at iterative computation, enabling MLlib to run fast.
      At the same time, we care about algorithmic performance:
      MLlib contains high-quality algorithms that leverage iteration, and
      can yield better results than the one-pass approximations sometimes used on MapReduce.

    <h3>Community</h3>
    <p>
      MLlib is developed as part of the Apache Spark project. It thus gets
      tested and updated with each Spark release.
    </p>
    <p>
      If you have questions about the library, ask on the
      <a href="/community.html#mailing-lists">Spark mailing lists</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
      MLlib is still a rapidly growing project and welcomes contributions. If you'd like to submit an algorithm to MLlib,
      read <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark">how to
      contribute to Spark</a> and send us a patch!
    </p>
  </div>

  <div class="col-md-4 col-padded">
    <h3>Getting Started</h3>
    <p>
      To get started with MLlib:
    </p>
    <ul class="list-narrow">
      <li><a href="/downloads.html">Download Spark</a>. MLlib is included as a module.</li>
      <li>Read the <a href="/docs/latest/mllib-guide.html">MLlib guide</a>, which includes
      various usage examples.</li>
      <li>Learn how to <a href="/docs/latest/#launching-on-a-cluster">deploy</a> Spark on a cluster
        if you'd like to run in distributed mode. You can also run locally on a multicore machine
        without any setup.
