Can I get Apache Spark security patches anywhere else?

No. Once Apache Spark versions reach end-of-life (EOL), they no longer receive updates from the Spark community. HeroDevs’ Apache Spark NES is the only long-term security solution, providing security patches, compliance assurances, and dedicated expert support.

What happens now that Apache Spark is end-of-life?

If your application relies on EOL Apache Spark versions, it will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates from the open-source community. This creates security, stability, and compliance risks. With Apache Spark NES, you can continue using your current version safely and securely.

How hard is it to switch to Apache Spark NES?

Switching to Apache Spark NES is seamless and requires no major or breaking changes. Installation involves updating your build dependencies to point to HeroDevs' secure private repository.

How does Apache Spark NES compare to rebuilding with modern data processing tooling?

Rebuilding with modern data processing and analytics frameworks can cost 4-8x more than implementing NES, requires 6-12 months of development time, and risks disrupting critical document workflows. NES provides immediate security while allowing you to plan migrations strategically.

What happens if we do nothing now that Apache Spark is end-of-life?

Without security patches, your Spark applications face increasing vulnerabilities, potentially compromising your data processing and analytics infrastructure and exposing sensitive information.

Should I migrate away from Apache Spark?

It depends on your organization's long-term plans and budget. Migrating to another modern framework requires a complete upgrade, code refactoring, and potential re-architecting. If your organization is not ready for a major migration, Apache Spark NES allows you to keep your current version secure while buying time for a strategic transition.

What are the benefits of using Apache Spark NES?

Apache Spark NES provides peace of mind by ensuring that your applications remain secure and compliant. It offers enterprise security patching, compliance readiness, application stability, and dedicated expert support.
