<b>Spark SQL</b> unifies access to structured data.

<div class="row row-padded">
<div class="col-md-7 col-sm-7">
<h2>Integrated</h2>
<p class="lead">
Seemlessly mix SQL queries with Spark programs.
</p>
<p>
Spark SQL lets you query structured data as a distributed dataset (RDD) in Spark, with integrated APIs in Python, Scala and Java.
This tight integration makes it easy to run SQL queries alongside complex analytic algorithms.

<h2>Unified Data Access</h2>

Load and query data from a variety of sources.

SchemaRDDs provide a single interface for efficiently working with structured data, including Apache Hive tables, parquet files and JSON files.

<h2>Hive Compatibility</h2>

Run unmodified Hive queries on existing warehouses.

Spark SQL reuses the Hive frontend and metastore, giving you full compatibility with
existing Hive data, queries, and UDFs. Simply install it alongside Hive.

<h2>Speed</h2>
<p class="lead">
Optimized to execute on Spark.
</p>
<p>
Spark SQL was built using the Catalyst optimizer, which automatically rewrites your queries to execute more efficiently.
By leveraging advanced techniques like runtime code generation, Spark SQL makes it easier to write lightning-fast analytic applications.

<h3>Scalability</h3>
<p>
Use the same engine for both interactive and long queries.
</p>
<p>
Spark SQL takes advantage of the RDD model to support mid-query fault tolerance, letting it scale to large jobs too.
Don't worry about using a different engine for historical data.

<h3>Community</h3>
<p>
Spark SQL is developed as part of Apache Spark. It thus gets
tested and updated with each Spark release.
</p>
<p>
If you have questions about the system, ask on the
<a href="/community.html#mailing-lists">Spark mailing lists</a>.
</p>
<p>
The Spark SQL developers welcome contributions. If you'd like to help out,
read <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark">how to
contribute to Spark</a>, and send us a patch!
