  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

Why use a battery of "complicated" and "immature" tools like Kafka, Zookeeper, and NoSQL databases to support low-latency big data applications when you can use a durable, consistent, SQL-compliant in-memory database? This is the question NewSQL in-memory database vendors MemSQL and VoltDB are posing to big-data developers who are trying to build real-time applications. MemSQL this week announced a two-way, high-performance MemSQL Spark Connector designed to complement the fast-growing Apache Spark in-memory analytics platform.   "There's a lot of excitement about Spark, but many data scientists struggle with complexity and the high degree of expertise to work with related data pipelines," said Erik Frenkiel, CEO and cofounder of MemSQL, in a phone interview with InformationWeek. "As a database, MemSQL offers durability and transaction support, so it can simplify those real-time data pipelines, providing the ability to ingest data and qu
