MY TALKS
How I Improved My Spark Application: Decreasing Running Time From Days to Hours!
Backend, Data / AI / ML, Software Engineering



Apache Spark has become one of the key big data distributed processing frameworks in the world. Working with big data comes with challenges of scale and it is required to be aware of the adequate big data optimization techniques in order to gain benefit from them.
In this talk, we will get familiar with Spark’s Catalyst Optimizer and how you can use it to your benefit. We will deep dive into one of the important optimizations, the Push-Down predicate, and will understand how it improves performance and why you should stop using Spark Udfs.
