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

Yes, of course. Spark is an independent computation framework. Hadoop is a distribution storage system(HDFS) with MapReduce computation framework. Spark can get data from HDFS, as well as any other data source such as traditional database(JDBC), kafka or even local disk.
