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

  • Specify REDUCED_MIRRORING on a PUT request using an optional header.
  • Specify LOW_REPLICATION on a PUT request using an optional header.
  • Specify LOW_REPLICATION on a GET request for objects.
  • Specify REDUCED_REDUNDANCY on a PUT request using an optional header.


2) Which is required to log on to the AWS management console on a mobile device?


  • SSO alias
  • SiteMinder
  • Gateway address
  • IAM token
  • AWS account


3) How do you receive notifications based on the value of a metric being above or below a stated threshold in Amazon CloudWatch?


  • Set Amazon SmartAlert.
  • Log on through the Amazon console.
  • Create an Amazon CloudWatch threshold dashboard.
  • Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm.
  • Create a DescribeAlarmHistory API.


4) Scenario-You are testing Oracle, SQL Server, and Mongo DB databases in your AWS account to determine which database to use for your application. Question-Based on the scenario above, how do you decrease the processing time of testing these databases?

  • Transfer the installed files and folders for each database from your local computer to S3.
  • Set up Database as a Service (DaaS) from these vendors.
  • Download DB software directly to Amazon from the vendor site.

  • Select vendor-provided database AMIs.


5) How do you verify your Amazon CloudSearch application is ready for release to end-users?

  • Look for error logs in the Amazon CloudSearch diagnostics sections.
  • Set up a search engine task using the IP address of the CloudSearch server.
  • Look at the keywords from the indexes in Amazon CloudSearch to ensure readiness.
  • Test sample queries using the search tester in the Amazon CloudSearch console.
  • Create APIs to test the output from Amazon CloudSearch.

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

-
Image
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
