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

10 Blockchain Smart Contract Interview Questions

Here are the top ten interview questions on Blockchain smart contracts. Here you will know about smart-contract, what language and IDE you need to develop. Useful for interviews as well.

1. What is a Smart Contract?


A smart contract is an executable code on the blockchain intended to digitally facilitate, verify, validate, and enforce the rules and regulations of an application. Smart contracts allow the performance of credible transactions without third parties. These transactions are trackable and irreversible.


2. Where the smart Contract code resides?


The smart contract is deployed in a sandbox environment and identified by a 160-bit account address like any other participants on the blockchain network. It executes on the virtual machine (VM) on the blockchain node and is identified by an account number.


3. Smart Contract is it API?


Yes, it is like a class. It has methods. These are useful to process transactions in the Blockchain framework.


4. What are the six functions of Smart-contract?


  • It represents a business logic layer for the verification and validation of application-specific conditions.
  • It allows for the specification of rules for operations on the blockchain.
  • It facilitates the implementation of policies for the transfer of assets in a decentralized network.
  • It embeds functions that can be invoked by messages or function calls from participant accounts or other smart contract accounts. These messages and their input parameters, along with additional metadata such as the sender's address and timestamp, result in transactions recorded in the distributed ledger of the blockchain.
  • It acts as the software-based intermediator for decentralized blockchain-based applications.
  • It adds programmability and intelligence to the blockchain through the specification of the parameters of its functions.

5. What are the three key elements of a Smart Contract?

  1. Data
  2. Functions that operate on the data
  3. Rules for operations

6. How does it looks like a Smart Contract?


  • Name of the class
  • Data definitions
  • Function definitions

7. What is the name of the Programming language you use?


Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts, influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript. Solidity is statically typed and supports inheritance, libraries, and user-defined types; it also provides many useful features for developing blockchain applications.


8. What is the name of IDE?


Open the Remix web IDE in your browser.


9. Who can access the Smart contract code?


When a smart contract code is deployed on a blockchain, it is accessible to anybody who has a defined identity on that blockchain.


10. Best example of a Blockchain smart contract?

Airline System.

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
