8 Ways to Optimize AWS Glue Jobs in a Nutshell

-
Image
  Improving the performance of AWS Glue jobs involves several strategies that target different aspects of the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process. Here are some key practices. 1. Optimize Job Scripts Partitioning : Ensure your data is properly partitioned. Partitioning divides your data into manageable chunks, allowing parallel processing and reducing the amount of data scanned. Filtering : Apply pushdown predicates to filter data early in the ETL process, reducing the amount of data processed downstream. Compression : Use compressed file formats (e.g., Parquet, ORC) for your data sources and sinks. These formats not only reduce storage costs but also improve I/O performance. Optimize Transformations : Minimize the number of transformations and actions in your script. Combine transformations where possible and use DataFrame APIs which are optimized for performance. 2. Use Appropriate Data Formats Parquet and ORC : These columnar formats are efficient for storage and querying, signif

Big Data: Top Hadoop Interview Questions (3 of 5)

1) What are daemons in Hadoop?

Big Data: Top Hadoop Interview Questions
#Big Data: Top Hadoop Interview Questions:
In reality running Hadoop means, running daemons of resident programs in multiple servers of your network. This kind of architecture is called fully configured cluster.

2) How daemons run in Hadoop architecture?

Some daemons run in only one server, and others run in more than one server

3) What are the 5 daemons of Hadoop?

-Name node
-Secondary name node
-Data Node
-Job tracker
-Task tracker

4) How many levels do we classify Hadoop broadly?

Broadly we can classify as, it is combination of distributed storage and distributed computation.
Also, as Master/Slave architecture

5) Who is the master of HDFS?

Name node is the master of HDFS

6) What are the functions of Name node?

-Master of HDFS
-Directs slave node i.e., Data nodes
-Book keeping for HDFS
-Monitor overall health of HDFS

7) What is data node?

Each slave machine will have Data node daemon.It performs grunt work of distributed file system

8) What are the functions of Data node?

-Main functionality is read or write HDFS file blocks to local system
-Data node communicates to name node about data blocks. Name node in turn communcates about data block and Data nodes to client.
-Data nodes can communicate each other
-Every change of data in Data node will communicate to Name node

9) How many replicas of data blocks stored in different Data nodes?

3

10) What is Secondary Data node(SNN)?
  • SNN is an assistant to Name node. It also monitors the state of HDFS cluster
  • Like Name node each cluster has one SNN, and it typically resides on its own machine
  • Data nodes and Task trackers run on multiple servers.
It does not record any changes, but time to time it suggests Name node to take SNAP shots of HDFS metadata

11) What will happen if Name node fails?

Then , human interventions is required. That time SNN acts as Name node.

 12) What is the role of Job tracker?

This is mediator between client and Task tracker
- Prepares execution plan
-Assign works to task trackers
-Assign nodes to different tasks
-Monitors all tasks are running fine or not

13) What is the role of Task tracker?

Manages execution of individual tasks on each slave node
Single task tracker for each slave node
A task tracker can spread multiple JVMs in a single slave node, to process parallel

How to Fix datetime Import Error in Python Quickly

Here's a quick resolution for import datetime Python error . The reason is your .py python script name and datetime  are the same. I'll show you how this error happens and its resolution.   Here's the Resolution for ImportError I've created a script called 'datetime.py.' to check whether the minute value is 'odd' or not. During the import of my python script, I got the import error cannot import name datetime. My Script: datetime.py My script's intention is to find whether the minute value is odd or not. Python Logic from datetime import datetime odds = [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 55 , 57 , 59 ] right_this_minute = datetime.today().minute if right_this_minute in odds: print ( "This minute seems a little odd." ) else : print ( "Not an odd minute." ) ImportError I have imported my datetime.py from Linux. It gives an error

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process. The main function is to receive messages from publishers and gives permission to access messages by consumers. How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than or
