Is this solving similar problems as Ray [1]?
Fugue is a higher level abstraction compared to Ray. It provides unified and non-invasive interfaces for people to use Spark, Dask and Pandas. Ray/Modin is also on our roadmap.
It provides both Python interface (not pandas-like) and Fugue SQL (standard SQL + extra features). Users can choose the one they are most comfortable with as the semantic layer for distributed computing, they are equivalent.
With Fugue, most of your logic will be in simple Python/SQL that is framework and scale agnostic. From the mindset to the code, Fugue minimizes your dependency on any specific computing frameworks including Fugue itself.
Please let me know if you want to learn more. our slack is in the README of the fugue repo
