Spark SQL for Relational Big Data Processing & Key Features
Apache Spark, renowned for its prowess in distributed computing, introduces Spark SQL as a powerful module dedicated to structured data processing. Spark SQL seamlessly integrates relational data querying with Spark's functional programming paradigm, offering a unified platform for diverse and large-scale data processing. - AzureData Engineer Course Key Features: 1. Unified Data Processing: Spark SQL bridges the gap between structured and semi-structured data processing. It provides a unified interface, allowing users to execute queries on various data formats, including Parquet, JSON, and Hive. 2. Hive Compatibility: Boasting complete compatibility with Apache Hive, Spark SQL facilitates users familiar with Hive to run queries directly within the Spark environment. This compatibility ensures a smooth transition and coexistence with existing Hive data and metadata. - Azure Data Engineer Online Training 3. D...
