What is Apache Spark SQL Data Warehouse?

Apache Spark SQL is a a module for Apache Spark which specialises in processing structured databases, handling SQL queries and making them work with the Spark distributed databases. It simplifies interaction with structured data, applying a level of abstraction which allows it to be treated in a similar way to a database of relational tables.
