flambo
A Clojure DSL for Apache Spark that enables distributed data processing using idiomatic Clojure.
What is flambo?
Flambo is a Clojure domain-specific language (DSL) for Apache Spark that enables developers to write distributed data processing applications using idiomatic Clojure code. It provides a seamless interface to Spark's core APIs, allowing Clojure programmers to leverage Spark's cluster computing capabilities without leaving their preferred language ecosystem. Flambo abstracts away the complexities of Spark's Java/Scala APIs, offering familiar Clojure constructs for transformations and actions on Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs).
Clojure developers who need to perform large-scale data processing or analytics using Apache Spark, particularly those working in data engineering, machine learning, or ETL pipelines.
Developers choose Flambo because it allows them to write Spark applications in Clojure, leveraging its functional programming features and REPL-driven workflow. It reduces the cognitive overhead of switching between languages and provides a more expressive, concise syntax for Spark operations compared to the native Java/Scala APIs.
