What is PySpark?
PySpark is an open-source distributed computing framework which is widely used for processing and analyzing huge datasets. It is built on top of Apache Spark, a fast and general purpose data processing engine. People who have some experience in Python, usually find it easy to perform operations in PySpark, since it allows users to write data processing tasks in Python.
One of the most important features of PySpark is its ability to perform distributed data processing, which enables it to handle large datasets efficiently across a cluster of computers. This feature of PySpark makes it well suited for Big Data Applications. Using PySpark, users can work with various data sources like Hadoop Distributed File System, Apache Hive and many more. Spark’s DataFrame API and Spark SQL help its users in exploring and analyzing large structured datasets.
Over the past few years PySpark has gained a lot of popularity in the industry. It is mainly because of its scalability and ease of use. Spark’s scalability feature allows users to handle data processing tasks at ease. It achieves all this by distributing data across a cluster of machines and performing parallel computations. As a result of all these user-friendly features PySpark has become the preferred choice for Big Data processing and analytics. The main idea behind this is to promote collaborative learning, knowledge sharing and the ability to share insights across teams or organizations.
What to do before you begin?
It is often seen that, individuals with a moderate level of understanding in Python, find PySpark to be very easy. Python allows you to write code in PySpark with similar syntax and concepts, thus making the learning curve less steep. Hence, it is advisable to go through fundamental concepts in Python, before getting started with PySpark.
In addition, since PySpark is widely used to handle, process and analyze big data it is recommended to have some understanding regarding the working of distributed systems and other related concepts like parallel processing, data partitioning and fault tolerance. Furthermore, familiarity with big data concepts like Hadoop, Distributed file systems and data processing frameworks will help you in the later part of the course, where we will be teaching you some advanced concepts in PySpark.
Furthermore, having some understanding of SQL will help you get used to PySpark even faster since PySpark provides you with a SQL-like interface, using which you can easily query and manipulate structured data. It is advisable to know about concepts like querying, joining tables, performing aggregations, etc.
