Introduction to ???Partition??? in ???Apache Spark???

What is the “Importance” of “Partition”?

  • “Apache Spark” is known for its “Speed”. The “Fast Speed” of “Computing” comes from the “Parallel Processing”.
  • “Partition” is the “Key” for “Parallel Processing”.
  • If the “Data”, to work with, is “Partitioned” in a “Proper Way” then the “Query Performance” on that “Data” would be “Improved” as the “Parallel Processing” will be “Triggered” “Effectively”.
  • If the “Data”, to work with, is “Not Partitioned” in a “Proper Way” then the “Distributed Framework” of “Apache Spark” is “Not” being used “Effectively”.
  • So, “Partition” plays an “Important Role” in the following -
    1Performance Improvement
    2. Error Handling
    3. Debugging
