Big data has taken over many aspects of our lives and as it continues to grow and expand, big data is creating the need for better and faster data storage and analysis. Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark fulfill this need as is quite evident from the various projects that these two frameworks are getting better at faster data storage and analysis. These Apache Hadoop projects are mostly into migration, integration, scalability, data analytics, and streaming analysis.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
