Description

A suitable name search is required in order for Apex to graduate from the incubation.

Apex is a YARN-native platform that unifies stream and batch processing. It processes big data in-motion in a way that is highly scalable, highly performant, fault tolerant, stateful, secure, distributed, and easily operable.
