GraphX

GraphX is a component of Apache Spark that enables efficient processing of graph data—networks of nodes (entities) connected by edges (relationships). It allows users to perform complex analyses, such as finding influential nodes or detecting community structures, on large-scale network data. By providing a framework for parallel computing, GraphX makes it possible to analyze massive graphs quickly and with less effort, supporting applications like social network analysis, recommendation systems, and supply chain management. Its design combines the benefits of graph processing with distributed data processing, making large-scale graph analytics more accessible and scalable.
