-Spark 1.0.0 is a major release marking the start of the 1.X line. This release brings both a variety of new features and strong API compatibility guarantees throughout the 1.X line. Spark 1.0 adds a new major component, [Spark SQL]({{site.url}}docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html), for loading and manipulating structured data in Spark. It includes major extensions to all of Spark’s existing standard libraries ([ML]({{site.url}}docs/latest/mllib-guide.html), [Streaming]({{site.url}}docs/latest/streaming-programming-guide.html), and [GraphX]({{site.url}}docs/latest/graphx-programming-guide.html)) while also enhancing language support in Java and Python. Finally, Spark 1.0 brings operational improvements including full support for the Hadoop/YARN security model and a unified submission process for all supported cluster managers.

For users running in secured Hadoop environments, Spark now integrates with the Hadoop/YARN security model. Spark will authenticate job submission, securely transfer HDFS credentials, and authenticate communication between components.
### Operational and Packaging Improvements
-This release significantly simplifies the process of bundling and submitting a Spark application. A new [spark-submit tool]({{site.url}}docs/latest/submitting-applications.html) allows users to submit an application to any Spark cluster, including local clusters, Mesos, or YARN, through a common process. The documentation for bundling Spark applications has been substantially expanded. We’ve also added a history server for Spark’s web UI, allowing users to view Spark application data after individual applications are finished.

### Spark SQL
-This release introduces [Spark SQL]({{site.url}}docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html) as a new alpha component. Spark SQL provides support for loading and manipulating structured data in Spark, either from external structured data sources (currently Hive and Parquet) or by adding a schema to an existing RDD. Spark SQL’s API interoperates with the RDD data model, allowing users to interleave Spark code with SQL statements. Under the hood, Spark SQL uses the Catalyst optimizer to choose an efficient execution plan, and can automatically push predicates into storage formats like Parquet. In future releases, Spark SQL will also provide a common API to other storage systems.

### MLlib Improvements
-In 1.0.0, Spark’s MLlib adds support for sparse feature vectors in Scala, Java, and Python. It takes advantage of sparsity in both storage and computation in linear methods, k-means, and naive Bayes. In addition, this release adds several new algorithms: scalable decision trees for both classification and regression, distributed matrix algorithms including SVD and PCA, model evaluation functions, and L-BFGS as an optimization primitive. The [MLlib programming guide]({{site.url}}docs/latest/mllib-guide.html) and code examples have also been greatly expanded.

### GraphX and Streaming Improvements
In addition to usability and maintainability improvements, GraphX in Spark 1.0 brings substantial performance boosts in graph loading, edge reversal, and neighborhood computation. These operations now require less communication and produce simpler RDD graphs. Spark’s Streaming module has added performance optimizations for stateful stream transformations, along with improved Flume support, and automated state cleanup for long running jobs.

Spark 1.0 adds support for Java 8 [new lambda syntax](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/lambdaexpressions.html) in its Java bindings. Java 8 supports a concise syntax for writing anonymous functions, similar to the closure syntax in Scala and Python. This change requires small changes for users of the current Java API, which are noted in the documentation. Spark’s Python API has been extended to support several new functions. We’ve also included several stability improvements in the Python API, particularly for large datasets. PySpark now supports running on YARN as well.
### Documentation
-Spark's [programming guide]({{site.url}}docs/latest/programming-guide.html) has been significantly expanded to centrally cover all supported languages and discuss more operators and aspects of the development life cycle. The [MLlib guide]({{site.url}}docs/latest/mllib-guide.html) has also been expanded with significantly more detail and examples for each algorithm, while documents on configuration, YARN and Mesos have also been revamped.

### Migrating to Spark 1.0
-While most of the Spark API remains the same as in 0.x versions, a few changes have been made for long-term flexibility, especially in the Java API (to support Java 8 lambdas). The documentation includes [migration information]({{site.url}}docs/latest/programming-guide.html#migrating-from-pre-10-versions-of-spark) to upgrade your applications.
