The Spark SQL shuffle is a mechanism for redistributing or re-partitioning data so that the data is grouped differently across partitions. Based on your data size you may need to…
Spark repartition() vs coalesce() - repartition() is used to increase or decrease the RDD, DataFrame, Dataset partitions whereas the coalesce() is used to only decrease the number of partitions in…
All different persistence (persist() method) storage level Spark/PySpark supports are available at org.apache.spark.storage.StorageLevel and pyspark.StorageLevel classes respectively. The storage level specifies how and where to persist or cache a Spark/PySpark RDD, DataFrame,…

Spark RDD reduce() aggregate action function is used to calculate min, max, and total of elements in a dataset, In this tutorial, I will explain RDD reduce function syntax and…
In this tutorial, you will learn how to aggregate elements using Spark RDD aggregate() action to calculate min, max, total, and count of RDD elements with scala language, and the…
RDD actions are operations that return the raw values, In other words, any RDD function that returns other than RDD[T] is considered as an action in spark programming. In this tutorial,…
Spark defines PairRDDFunctions class with several functions to work with Pair RDD or RDD key-value pair, In this tutorial, we will learn these functions with Scala examples. Pair RDD's are…
RDD Transformations are Spark operations when executed on RDD, it results in a single or multiple new RDD's. Since RDD are immutable in nature, transformations always create new RDD without…
