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

What is Cluster- In the age of Big data and Analytics

A cluster is local in that all of its component subsystems are supervised within a single administrative domain, usually residing in a single room and managed as a single computer system. The constituent computer nodes are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), are capable of full independent operation as is, and are of a type ordinarily employed individually for standalone mainstream workloads and applications. (Cluster in Hadoop- Career options) The nodes may incorporate a single microprocessor or multiple microprocessors in a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) configuration. The interconnection network employs COTS local area network (LAN) or systems area network (SAN) technology that may be a hierarchy of or multiple separate network structures. A cluster network is dedicated to the integration of the cluster compute nodes and is separate from the cluster's external (worldly) environment. A cluster may be employed in many modes including but no limited to: high capability or
