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

2 Multiline Commenting Ideas in Python

Here are two ways you can comment out multiple lines in python. Python Multiline Comments These are two popular methods Viz Backslash and Triple quote methods. 1. Backslash method >>> s = "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system" \ … " and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text" \ … " that is more than 80 characters on a single line" >>> print(s) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single line 2. Triple quote method >>> s1 = """ This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. … and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text … that is more than 80 characters on a single line … """ >>> print(s1) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single l

How to Explain String Immutability in Python Correctly

Here is an answer to explain the immutability of Strings in Python. It means that you can't modify the string. Due to this, you can use strings securely in many places of your project. How to check string immutability Here is an example. In the python shell, assign a value of your choice to a string. Here my choice is ABCD, and I have assigned it to myString. I have tried to replace A with Z. But, it gave an error due to the immutability of strings. >>> myString = 'ABCD' >>>myString [0] = 'Z' What is learning here The strings immutability is an interview question. In interviews, you can say that strings are immutable, and you can't replace its data. Benefits of strings immutability It saves a lot of time since the data in strings are immutable. It results in high performance. String objects you can reuse as no one can modify its value. Strings are elemental. So no activity can change its value ( these are more like numbers).
