Amazon EMR vs. Apache PredictionIO vs. Apache Spark vs. Java Comparison Chart

Apache PredictionIO® is an open-source machine learning server built on top of a state-of-the-art open-source stack for developers and data scientists to create predictive engines for any machine learning task. It lets you quickly build and deploy an engine as a web service on production with customizable templates. Respond to dynamic queries in real-time once deployed as a web service, evaluate and tune multiple engine variants systematically, and unify data from multiple platforms in batch or in real-time for comprehensive predictive analytics. Speed up machine learning modeling with systematic processes and pre-built evaluation measures, support machine learning and data processing libraries such as Spark MLLib and OpenNLP. Implement your own machine learning models and seamlessly incorporate them into your engine. Simplify data infrastructure management. Apache PredictionIO® can be installed as a full machine learning stack, bundled with Apache Spark, MLlib, HBase, Akka HTTP, etc.

The Java™ Programming Language is a general-purpose, concurrent, strongly typed, class-based object-oriented language. It is normally compiled to the bytecode instruction set and binary format defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification. In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine.
