This page tracks external software projects that supplement Apache Spark and add to its ecosystem.
spark-packages.org
spark-packages.org is an external, community-managed list of third-party libraries, add-ons, and applications that work with Apache Spark. You can add a package as long as you have a GitHub repository.
