Spark Module 2 SparkSQL and DataFrames
featuring SQL and DataFrames.
This course is around 5 hours long.
- The second module in the Spark series moves on to explore the SparkSQL and DataFrames API. This allows us to concentrate on the Data Science and work at a much higher level of abstraction, working with SQL style syntax instead of worrying about RDDs.
- This course is designed for all Java developers who want to explore Spark. No previous data science experience is assumed, so every concept is explained in detail.

Pivot Tables 21m 21s In DataFrames, we can produce Pivot Tables as with spreadsheets and databases. But for Big Data! |

Performance 25m 56s Using the SparkUI to analyse tasks. We ask the question: is the SQL syntax slower than the DataFrame API? Answers will follow in the next video... |

HashAggregation 39m 21s Spark has two strategies for grouping - HashAggregation is extremely efficient but can only be used in restricted circumstances. Find out how to make sure HashAggegration is used instead of the (usually) slower SortAggregate routine. |

Update - Tuning the spark.sql.shuffle.partitions Property 8m 18s An update - by default you will have a large number of partitions when shuffling (such as when grouping) - this can kill performance on small jobs. This is how to fix the problem. |
