According to the release, Apache Livy enables submission of Spark jobs or snippets of Spark code, with synchronous or asynchronous result retrieval. It also supports Spark Context management through a REST interface or an RPC client library, and it simplifies interaction between Spark and application servers.
In the foundation’s description, Apache Incubator hosts incoming projects (podlings) that want to enter The ASF and adopt The Apache Way, and Apache Livy is listed as having become a Top-Level Project.
