PySpark and AWS: Master Big Data with PySpark and AWS - RDD Map (Simple Function)

The video tutorial explores the use of Lambda functions for writing mapper functions and contrasts them with regular functions. It demonstrates how to define a regular function in Python, iterate over data, and perform complex transformations. The tutorial emphasizes the limitations of Lambda functions for complex tasks and the advantages of using regular functions for more intricate operations.
