RDD vs Dataframe vs Dataset
RDD vs Dataframe vs Dataset All of them are data abstraction APIs provided by Apache Spark for data processing and analytics. In terms of functionality, all are the same and provide the same output for any given input. They differ in terms of handling and processing data. They vary in performance, user convenience, and language support. Users can choose to work with any API while working with Spark. 1) RDD - RDD stands for Resilient Distributed Dataset. An RDD is an immutable distributed collection of datasets partitioned across a set of nodes of the cluster that can be recovered if a partition is lost, thus providing fault tolerance . RDDs are Spark's fundamental data structure and provide a high-level API for performing distributed data processing tasks. Resilient - RDDs are immutable, partitioned collections of records that can be recovered if a partition is lost. Distributed - RDDs are a static set of items distributed across clusters to allow parallel processing. In-built...
