This course provides hands-on training in Apache Spark with Python (PySpark) to process, analyze, and visualize large-scale datasets. Learners will gain expertise in distributed data processing, Spark SQL, machine learning pipelines, and big data analytics workflows for real-world applications.
Introduction to Big Data & PySpark Basics of Big Data & challenges with traditional systems Hadoop vs Spark overview Spark ecosystem and architecture (RDD, DAG, Cluster Manager) Introduction to PySpark and environment setup.
Working with RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets) Creating and transforming RDDs Lazy vs. eager evaluation Actions & transformations in RDD Fault tolerance & lineage.
Spark Data Frames & SQL Introduction to Data Frames & Spark SQL Schema definition & inference Filtering, grouping, aggregations SQL queries with Spark Joins and window functions.
Data Ingestion & Sources Reading and writing data: CSV, JSON, Parquet, ORC Connecting to databases (JDBC) Working with structured & unstructured data Streaming data ingestion basics (Kafka, real-time sources).
Data Cleaning & Transformation Handling missing values Data normalization & transformation User-defined functions (UDFs) in PySpark Optimizing queries with Catalyst Optimizer.
