Apache Spark 3 for Data Engineering and Analytics with Python - Working with Structured Operations

This video tutorial covers structured operations using the Dataframe API, focusing on shaping dataframes to meet specific requirements. It includes selecting and filtering data, ensuring data uniqueness, ordering, and reshaping dataframes. The tutorial also addresses data cleaning challenges, such as handling null values, and demonstrates creating user-defined functions in Python for use in Spark. The goal is to equip learners with the skills to transform and clean data effectively.

Why is it important to reshape data using the Dataframe API?

• To make data look more colorful

• To fit data into specific requirements

• To make data more complex

• To increase data size

What is the purpose of filtering data in a dataframe?

• To increase data complexity

• To make data more colorful

• To add more data

• To exclude unnecessary records

What operation is used to combine two dataframes into one?

• Join

• Merge

• Split

• Union

What is a common issue that data engineers face when cleaning data?

• Too much data

• Null or empty values

• Data being too colorful

• Data being too simple

How can user-defined functions in Python be utilized in data transformation?

• By making data more complex

• By increasing data size

• By converting them into a format Spark can understand

• By making data more colorful
