spark createOrReplaceTempView vs createGlobalTempView
Spark Dataset 2.0 provides two functions createOrReplaceTempView and createGlobalTempView. I am not able to understand the basic difference between both functions.
According to API documents:
createOrReplaceTempView() creates or replaces a local temporary view with this dataframe df. Lifetime of this view is dependent to SparkSession class
createGlobalTempView() creates a global temporary view with this dataframe df. life time of this view is dependent to spark application itself

Create Your Very Own Apache Spark/Hadoop Cluster....then do something with it? - Confessions of a Data Guy
I’ve never seen so many posts about Apache Spark before, not sure if it’s 3.0, or because the world is burning down. I’ve written about Spark a few times, even 2 years ago, but it still seems to be steadily increasing in popularity, albeit still missing from many companies tech stacks. With the continued rise […]

Spark Architecture: Shuffle
This is my second article about Apache Spark architecture and today I will be more specific and tell you about the shuffle, one of the most interesting topics in the overall Spark design. The previous part was mostly about general Spark architecture and its memory management. It can be accessed here. The next one is [...]
Spark Broadcast Variables - Spark by {Examples}
In Spark RDD and DataFrame, Broadcast variables are read-only shared variables that are cached and available on all nodes in a cluster in-order to access or use by the tasks. Instead of sending this data along with every task, spark distributes broadcast variables to the machine using efficient broadcast algorithms to reduce communication costs. Use

Tuning - Spark 3.3.0 Documentation
Tuning and performance optimization guide for Spark 3.3.0
The main point to remember here is
that the cost of garbage collection is proportional to the number of Java objects, so using data
structures with fewer objects (e.g. an array of Ints instead of a LinkedList) greatly lowers
this cost.

Dynamic Partition Pruning in Spark 3.0 - DZone Big Data
This blog will give you a deep insight on Dynamic Partition Pruning used in Apache Spark and how this works in the newer version of Spark released.
Therefore, we don’t need to actually scan the full fact table as we are only interested in two filtering partitions that result from the dimension table.
To avoid this, a simple approach is to take the filter from the dimension table incorporated into a sub query. Then run that sub query below the scan on the fact table.
pyspark.SparkConf — PySpark 3.2.1 documentation
Most of the time, you would create a SparkConf object with SparkConf(), which will load values from spark.* Java system properties as well. In this case, any parameters you set directly on the SparkConf object take priority over system properties.
PySpark partitionBy() - Write to Disk Example - Spark by {Examples}
PySpark partitionBy() is a function of pyspark.sql.DataFrameWriter class which is used to partition the large dataset (DataFrame) into smaller files based on one or multiple columns while writing to disk, let’s see how to use this with Python examples. Partitioning the data on the file system is a way to improve the performance of the […]
