Apache Spark with its rich data APIs has been the processing engine of choice in a wide range of applications from data engineering to machine learning, but its security integration has been a pain point.t Many enterprise customers needi finer granularity of control, in particular at the column and row level (commonly known as Fine Grained Access Control or FGAC).

Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) unifies the technologies from Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub (CDH) and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). As part of that unification process, Cloudera merged the YARN Scheduler functionality from the legacy platforms, creating a Capacity Scheduler that better services all customers. In merging this scheduler functionality, Cloudera significantly reduced the time and effort to migrate from CDH and HDP.
