Explore the differences between Apache Hadoop's disk-based, MapReduce approach and Apache Spark's in-memory, RAM-cached computation. Learn why Spark delivers faster processing and how memory vs disk impacts performance across APIs.
Create dataframes from CSV files by reading employee and department data, and validate their schemas with print schema. Enable header=true and infer schema=true to ensure accurate data typing.
Create a temporary view from a data frame in Spark by calling create or replace temporary view on the data frame, then verify the view in the catalog.
Visualize sales data in PySpark pandas using the data frame plot API to create area charts with x and y axes, showing product ID insights.
Utilize the write stream API to join sales order and product streams by product ID, then write to a parquet table with a checkpoint location and append mode.
Integrate Apache Kafka with Spark Structured Streaming to read from Kafka sources, perform word count on streaming data, and output results to the console.
