# Apache Spark
-Lightning-Fast Cluster Computing - <http://spark.apache.org/>
+Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system. It provides
+high-level APIs in Scala, Java, and Python, and an optimized engine that
+supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a
+rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and structured
+data processing, MLLib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing,
+and Spark Streaming.
