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

The video tutorial explores the concept of 'reduce by key' in RDDs, explaining how it combines data based on keys and contrasts it with 'group by key'. It details the syntax and use of Lambda functions for reduction, providing a practical example to illustrate the process. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key differences between the two methods, emphasizing the need for a reduction mechanism in 'reduce by key'.
