Can apache spark run without hadoop?

Question

Are there any dependencies between Spark and Hadoop?

If not, are there any features I\'ll miss when I run

Answer 1

By default , Spark does not have storage mechanism.

To store data, it needs fast and scalable file system. You can use S3 or HDFS or any other file system. Hadoop is economical option due to low cost.

Additionally if you use Tachyon, it will boost performance with Hadoop. It's highly recommended Hadoop for apache spark processing.
