Well it may not be the best tool for that particular problem, you could use it if you wanted to. And that includes data visualization, predictive analytics, like with psychic learn, deep learning as well with Kerus and PyTorch and things like that.

So it allows you to, write in Python or R or Scala. And as a result, you can utilize spark clusters to handle really heavy workloads that otherwise would fail on your local machine or, or you may have…
