We strongly believe that machine learning solution should not be restricted to certain language or certain platform.
Specifically, users will be able to use distributed XGBoost in both Flink and Spark.
We have made the API in a portable way so it is also straight-forward to other Dataflow platforms provided by the Cloud.

XGBoost4J shares its core with other XGBoost libraries, which means data scientists can use R/python

In the following Figure, we describe the overall architecture of XGBoost4J. XGBoost4J provides the Java/Scala API calling the core functionality of XGBoost library. Most importantly, it not only supports the single-machine model training, but also provides an abstraction layer which masks the difference of the underlying data processing engines (they can be Spark, Flink, or just distributed servers across the cluster)
