Step-by-Step Guide to Reading Different Files in Python

Image
 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

Top Key Architecture Components in HIVE

5 architectural components present in Hadoop Hive: Shell: allows interactive queries like MySQL shell connected to a database – Also supports web and JDBC clients Driver: session handles, fetch, execute Compiler: parse, plan, optimize Execution engine: DAG of stages (M/R, HDFS, or metadata) Metastore: schema, location in HDFS, SerDe

Data Mode of Hive:
  • Tables
– Typed columns (int, float, string, date, boolean)
– Also, list: map (for JSON-like data)
  • Partitions
– e.g., to range-partition tables by date
  • Buckets
– Hash partitions within ranges (useful for sampling, join optimization)

HIVE Meta Store
  • Database: namespace containing a set of tables
  • Holds table definitions (column types, physical layout)
  • Partition data 
  • Uses JPOX ORM for implementation; can be stored in Derby, MySQL, many other relational databases
Physical Layout of HIVE
  • Warehouse directory in HDFS
– e.g., /home/hive/warehouse
  • Tables stored in subdirectories of warehouse
– Partitions, buckets form subdirectories of tables
  • Actual data stored in flat files
– Control char-delimited text, or SequenceFiles
– With custom SerDe, can use arbitrary format
