+    <para>Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale
+    data processing. It supports developing custom analytic
+    processing applications over large data sets or streaming data.
+    Because it has the capability to cache intermediate results in
+    cluster memory and schedule DAGs of computations, Spark
+    programs can run up to 100x faster than equivalent Hadoop
+    MapReduce jobs. Spark applications are easy to develop,
+    parallel, fast, and resilient to failure, and they can operate
+    on data from in-memory collections, local files, a
+    Hadoop-compatible filesystem, or from a variety of streaming
+    sources. Spark also includes libraries for distributed machine
+    learning and graph algorithms.</para>
