By tuning the partition size to optimal, you can improve the performance of the Spark application

This yields output Repartition size : 4 and the repartition re-distributes the data(as shown below) from all partitions which is full shuffle leading to very expensive operation when dealing with billions and trillions of data. Note: Use repartition() when you wanted to increase the number of partitions. When you want to reduce the number of partitions prefer using coalesce() as it is an optimized or improved version of repartition() where the movement of the data across the partitions is lower using coalesce which ideally performs better when you dealing with bigger datasets. For example, if you refer to a field that doesn’t exist in your code, Dataset generates compile-time error whereas DataFrame compiles fine but returns an error during run-time.

Catalyst Optimizer is the place where Spark tends to improve the speed of your code execution by logically improving it.Ĭatalyst Optimizer can perform refactoring complex queries and decides the order of your query execution by creating a rule-based and code-based optimization.Īdditionally, if you want type safety at compile time prefer using Dataset. What is Catalyst?Ĭatalyst Optimizer is an integrated query optimizer and execution scheduler for Spark Datasets/DataFrame. Before your query is run, a logical plan is created using Catalyst Optimizer and then it’s executed using the Tungsten execution engine. Since DataFrame is a column format that contains additional metadata, hence Spark can perform certain optimizations on a query. Tungsten performance by focusing on jobs close to bare metal CPU and memory efficiency. Tungsten is a Spark SQL component that provides increased performance by rewriting Spark operations in bytecode, at runtime. Spark Dataset/DataFrame includes Project Tungsten which optimizes Spark jobs for Memory and CPU efficiency. Since Spark/PySpark DataFrame internally stores data in binary there is no need of Serialization and deserialization data when it distributes across a cluster hence you would see a performance improvement.

Using RDD directly leads to performance issues as Spark doesn’t know how to apply the optimization techniques and RDD serialize and de-serialize the data when it distributes across a cluster (repartition & shuffling). Spark RDD is a building block of Spark programming, even when we use DataFrame/Dataset, Spark internally uses RDD to execute operations/queries but the efficient and optimized way by analyzing your query and creating the execution plan thanks to Project Tungsten and Catalyst optimizer. In PySpark use, DataFrame over RDD as Dataset’s are not supported in PySpark applications. For Spark jobs, prefer using Dataset/DataFrame over RDD as Dataset and DataFrame’s includes several optimization modules to improve the performance of the Spark workloads.
