  Cluster computing was introduced to replace the superiority of super
computers. Cluster computing is able to overcome the problems that cannot be
effectively dealt with supercomputers. In this paper, we are going to evaluate
the performance of cluster computing by executing one of data mining techniques
in the cluster environment. The experiment will attempt to predict the flight
delay by using linear regression algorithm with apache spark as a framework for
cluster computing. The result shows that, by involving 5 PCs in cluster
environment with equal specifications can increase the performance of
computation up to 39.76% compared to the standalone one. Attaching more nodes
to the cluster can make the process become faster significantly.
