      Spark Core is the fundamental unit of the whole Spark project. It provides all sort of functionalities like task dispatching, scheduling, and input-output operations etc.Spark makes use of Special data structure known as RDD (Resilient Distributed Dataset). It is the home for API that defines and manipulate the RDDs. Spark Core is distributed execution engine with all the functionality attached on its top. For example, MLlib, SparkSQL, GraphX, Spark Streaming. Thus, allows diverse workload on single platform. All the basic functionality of Apache Spark Like in-memory computationfault tolerance, memory management, monitoring, task scheduling is provided by Spark Core.
      Apart from this Spark also provides the basic connectivity with the data sources. For example, HBase, Amazon S3, HDFS etc.
