# Big Data Tools

The Big Data Tools is a [set of plugins](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/bundles/8-big-data-tools) intended for data engineers.

It includes the following plugins:

Spark
: [Submit](big-data-tools-spark.html) and monitor Spark jobs

Flink
: [Monitor Flink jobs](big-data-tools-flink.html)

Remote File Systems
: [Access remote storages](big-data-tools-remote-file-systems.html)

Big Data File Viewer
: Preview Parquet, ORC, Avro, and CSV files (the plugin is installed automatically with the Remote File Systems plugin)

Zeppelin
: Connect to Zeppelin, run code in notebooks, and preview output (development of the Zeppelin plugin is currently suspended)

Before IntelliJ IDEA 2023.2, Big Data Tools was a single plugin, and none of its parts could be installed separately. Starting from 2023.2, you can install any of these tools as a separate plugin. You can also install the Big Data Tools plugin, which will automatically install all these six plugins.

> **Note:**
> If you used Big Data Tools in 2023.1 or before, then after updating IntelliJ IDEA to 2023.3, you will have all these new plugins automatically installed.
