Today, we’re excited to announce that the Spark connector for Azure Cosmos DB is now truly multi-model! As noted in our recent announcement of Azure Cosmos DB, our goal is to help you write globally distributed apps, more easily, using the tools and APIs you are already familiar with. Azure Cosmos DB’s database engine natively supports SQL (DocumentDB) API, MongoDB API, Gremlin (graph) API, and Azure Table storage API. With the updated Spark connector for Azure Cosmos DB, Apache Spark can now interact with all Azure Cosmos DB data models: Documents, Tables, and Graphs.
Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft's globally distributed, multi-model database service for mission-critical applications. Azure Cosmos DB provides turn-key global distribution, elastic scale out of throughput and storage worldwide, single-digit millisecond latencies at the 99th percentile, five well-defined consistency levels, and guaranteed high availability, all backed by industry-leading, comprehensive SLAs. Azure Cosmos DB automatically indexes all data without requiring you to deal with schema and index management. It is multi-model and supports document, key-value, graph, and columnar data models. As a cloud-born service, Azure Cosmos DB is carefully engineered with multi-tenancy and global distribution from the ground up.
