 Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster computing system.
 It provides high-level APIs in Java, Scala and Python,
 and an optimized engine that supports general execution graphs.
-It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including [Shark](http://shark.cs.berkeley.edu) (Hive on Spark), [Spark SQL](sql-programming-guide.html) for structured data, [MLlib](mllib-guide.html) for machine learning, [GraphX](graphx-programming-guide.html) for graph processing, and [Spark Streaming](streaming-programming-guide.html).
