This tutorial is an introduction to the FIWARE Cosmos Orion Spark Connector, which enables easier Big Data analysis over context, integrated with one of the most popular BigData platforms: Apache Spark. Apache Spark is a framework and distributed processing engine for stateful computations over unbounded and bounded data streams. Spark has been designed to run in all common cluster environments, perform computations at in-memory speed and at any scale.

The tutorial uses cUrl commands throughout, but is also available as Postman documentation
