Understanding Databricks & Apache Spark Performance Tuning: Lesson 01 - Spark Architecture

Waiting for next video

I don't know if it's always true, but I've recently discovered that python can be significantly faster that some spark SQL operations such as joins. I'll check, but do you have a video about monitoring cluster performance? I kind of miss the ganglia ui. Thanks Bryan. As always, you're a great teacher and explainer of things. ❤

Thanks, very nice video 😉

is it possible to run spark nodes on already concurrent HDFS?

[@BryanCafferky]

Park can read from HDFS. Is that your question?

[@Andy-rw4hn]

@@BryanCafferky yes. I was not aware of PXF HDFS connector hdfs:parquet. Thank you.

[@RM-xm5gl]

Thank you so much. Excellent video.

[@BryanCafferky]

Thanks

11:50 I actually thought that the data for the query in the black box does not have to be distributed/indexed by City and the select/group-by can be easily made concurrent by itself

[@BryanCafferky]

I am oversimplifying but when you request joins or aggregations, you trigger a shuffle which the documentation explains as reordering the data over the cluster nodes to, for example, co-locate data keys from the joined tables. See www.talend.com/resources/intro-apache-spark-partitioning/

i'm trying to find more detailed info on this. Thanks.

[@Andy-rw4hn]

@@BryanCafferky Thank you

[@Prmmani]

Thanks Sir ❤

There's also Spark Rapids (GPU)

[@BryanCafferky]

Cool. Did not know that. Here's how to set that up on Databricks. Thanks! docs.nvidia.com/spark-rapids/user-guide/23.12.2/getting-started/databricks.html
