PySpark and AWS: Master Big Data with PySpark and AWS - RDD GroupByKey

The video tutorial explains the group by key transformation in RDDs, emphasizing the importance of data being in key-value tuple format. It demonstrates how to convert data into this format using map and flat map transformations. The tutorial also covers how group by key works by grouping data based on keys and combining values into lists. The video concludes with a practical example of applying group by key and using map values to extract data.
