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

Python language is popular in many areas. Below are the real uses of Python. Surely, many developers confuse to tell all the applications. So I have listed for quick reference.


python real uses

8 Python Real Application Uses

#1. Python Application use - Python Scripts 

Very much popular in scripting. You can write scripts in many areas. Like Interfaces, to access files, to access database, and to access the application programs.

#2. Python Application use - Python in Web Development 

You can use Python in Web development. There are powerful Python frameworks present such as Django, Flask, Web2Py, and Pyramid. You can develop an application in IoS/Android/Windows.

#3. Python Application use - Graphical User Interface

You can develop applications, which need access to GUI. The libraries and APIs like Tkinter, PyQt, PyGTK, and wxPython allow developers to develop GUI-based apps with simple or complex interfaces. 

#4. Python Application use - System Programming

You can use it in System Programming. Like Protocol management, and OS operations. The Python Standard Library (PSL) has OS and POSIX bindings, which can be used for handling files, multi-threading, multi-processing, environment variables, controlling sockets, pipes, and processes. 

#5. Python Application use - Access to database 


Python is used to connect and access data from different types of databases, be it SQL or NoSQL. APIs and connectors exist for these databases like MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. In fact, SQLite, a lightweight relational database, now comes as a part of the Python standard distribution.

#6. Python Application use - Scientific Applications

Very much popular in Scientific Computing and Numerical Analysis.


#7. Python Application use - Machine Learning/Deep Learning 

Python has many libraries and frameworks like Scikit-Learn, h2o, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, and even core libraries like NumPy and SciPy for not only implementing machine learning algorithms but also using them to solve real-world advanced analytics problems.


#8. Python Application use - Text Analytics 

Python can handle text really well and this has led to several popular libraries like NLTK, Gensim, and spaCy for natural language processing, information retrieval, and text analytics. You can also apply standard machine learning algorithms to solve problems related to text analytics.

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
