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

How to Understand Pickling and Unpickling in Python

-
Here are the Python pickling and unpickling best examples and the differences between these two.


pickling and unpickling in python




These you can use to serialize and deserialize the python data structures. The concept of writing the total state of an object to the file is called pickling, and to read a Total Object from the file is called unpickling.


Pickle and Unpickle

The process of writing the state of an object to the file (converting a class object into a byte stream) and storing it in the file is called pickling. It is also called object serialization.

The process of reading the state of an object from the file ( converting a byte stream back into a class object) is called unpickling. It is an inverse operation of pickling. It is also called object deserialization. The pickling and unpickling can implement by using a pickling module since binary files support byte streams. Pickling and unpickling should be possible using binary files.


Data types you can pickle

  1. Integers
  2. Booleans
  3. Complex numbers
  4. Floats
  5. Normal and Unicode strings
  6. Tuple
  7. List
  8. Set and dictionaries which contains pickling objects
  9. Classes and built-in functions can define at the top level of a module.

Functions you need


dump()


The above function performs pickling. It returns the pickled representation of an object as a byte object instead of writing it to the file. It is called to serialize an object hierarchy.


Syntax:


import pickle

pickle.dump(object, file, protocol)


where

the object is a python object to serialize

a file is a file object in which the serialized python object will be stored


protocol if not specified is 0. If specified as HIGHEST PROTOCOL or negative, then the highest protocol version available will be used. 



load()


The above function performs unpickling. It reads a pickled object from a binary file and returns it as an object. It is used to deserialize a data stream.


Syntax:


import pickle

pickle.load(file)

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
