Apache Spark is a powerful distributed computing system that handles large-scale data processing through a framework based on Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs). Understanding how Spark partitions data and distributes it via shuffling or other operations is crucial…
Discuss Spark Data Types, Spark Schemas- How Sparks infers Schema?
In Apache Spark, data types are essential for defining the schema of your data and ensuring that data operations are performed correctly. Spark has its own set of data types that you use to specify the structure of DataFrames and RDDs. Understanding and using Spark’s…
Sorting Algorithms implemented in Python- Merge Sort, Bubble Sort, Quick Sort
Merge sort is a classic divide-and-conquer algorithm that efficiently sorts a list or array by dividing it into smaller sublists, sorting those sublists, and then merging them back together. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how merge sort works, along with…
Mysql or Pyspark SQL query- The placement of subqueries
Let’s list all possible places where subqueries in MySQL or Hive QL or Pyspark SQL Query can be used: 1. In the SELECT Clause Subqueries can compute a value for each row. SELECT employee_id, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM project_assignments pa WHERE pa.employee_id =…
