      Transformations create new RDD from existing RDD
      Transformations are executed on demand.(Lazy computation)
      Ex: filter(), union()

      An Action will return a non-RDD type (your stored value types usually)
      Actions triggers execution using lineage graph to load the data into original RDD
      Ex: count(), first()

      For more on RDD operations refer RDD transformation and Action.
