When you start a Spark application , a SparkContext is created to enable your Spark application to access the cluster through a resource manager ( like YARN , Mesos , or Spark's own cluster manager ) . 4 df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM your_hive_table Scenario 1 : Reading Data from a Hive Table Problem : You need to read data from a Hive table for further processing . Solution : df = spark . sql ( " SELECT * FROM your_hive_table " ) " ) Explanation : Using spark . sql ( ) , you can execute SQL queries directly on Hive tables within your Spark application . This method leverages Spark's ability to integrate seamlessly with Hive , allowing for complex queries and integration into your ETL pipelines . 5 df = spark.read.parquet("/path/to/parquet/files Scenario 2 : Reading Parquet Files Problem : You have a directory of Parquet files that you need to read into a DataFrame . Solution : df = spark . read . parquet ( " / path / to / parquet / files / " ) / " ) Explanation : spark . read . parquet ( ) efficiently reads from Parquet files , a columnar storage format , which is ideal for high - performance data processing . Spark's built - in support for Parquet allows for automatic schema inference and pushdown optimizations , improving performance and reducing I / O . 6 df = spark.read.option("multiline", "true").json("/path/to/json/files Scenario 4 : Reading JSON Files with Options Problem : Load JSON files , considering multiline JSON records . Solution : df = spark . read . option ( " multiline " , " true " ) . json ( " / path / to / json / files / " ) / " ) Explanation : JSON files can sometimes contain multiline records . Setting the multiline option to true enables Spark to interpret each multiline record as a single row in the DataFrame . This is crucial for correctly parsing files where JSON objects are formatted over multiple lines .

Example : PySpark Code for a Simple ETL Task
To give you a practical insight , let's go through a simple example of reading , transforming , and writing data :

from pyspark . sql import SparkSession

# Create Spark session
spark = SparkSession . builder \
. appName ( " Walmart Data Engineer Interview Preparation " ) \
. enableHiveSupport ( ) \
. getOrCreate ( )

# Read data from a Hive table
df = spark . table ( " sample_database . sample_table " )

# Perform transformation : Add a new column with transformed data
df_transformed = df . withColumn ( " new_column " , df [ " existing_column " ] * 2 )

# Write transformed data back to a new Hive table
df_transformed . write . mode ( " overwrite " ) . saveAsTable ( " sample_database . transformed_table " )

# Create Spark session

df = spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "true").schema(schema from pyspark.sql.types import StructType, StructField, IntegerType, StringType StructField("name", StringType(), True StructField("id", IntegerType(), True schema = StructType load("/path/to/csv/files

Scenario 3 : Reading CSV Files with Specific Schema
Problem : You need to read CSV files and enforce a specific schema to ensure data types are correct .

Solution :

from pyspark . sql . types import StructType , StructField , IntegerType , StringType

schema = StructType ( [
StructField ( " id " , IntegerType ( ) , True ) ,
StructField ( " name " , StringType ( ) , True )
] )

df = spark . read . format ( " csv " ) . option ( " header " , " true " ) . schema ( schema ) . load ( " / path / to / csv / files / " )

( [
) ,
)
] )

) . / " )

Explanation :

Specifying a schema with StructType and StructField ensures that each column in the CSV is read with the correct data type , preventing data type issues during data processing . The option ( " header " , " true " ) indicates that the first line of files defines the column names , ensuring columns are correctly named .

Explanation :

SparkSession : The entry point to programming Spark with the Dataset and DataFrame API . This setup initializes a SparkSession with configurations tailored for Hive interaction .

appName ( " Walmart ETL Job " ) : Names the application , making it easier to identify in the Spark web UI .

config ( " spark . sql . warehouse . dir " , " / user / hive / warehouse " ) : Specifies the directory where the Hive data is stored , ensuring that Spark and Hive can work together effectively .

enableHiveSupport ( ) : Enables support for Hive features , including the ability to write queries using HiveQL and access Hive tables directly .

getOrCreate ( ) : Returns an existing SparkSession if there's one running ; otherwise , it creates a new one based on the options set .

SparkContext : The Spark Context ( SparkContext ) is the main entry point for Spark functionality before the introduction of Spark 2 . 0 . It was used to connect to the Spark execution environment , manage Spark job configurations , and orchestrate the distribution of data and computations across the Spark cluster . When you start a Spark application , a SparkContext is created to enable your Spark application to access the cluster through a resource manager ( like YARN , Mesos , or Spark's own cluster manager ) .

df = spark.sql("SELECT * FROM your_hive_table

Scenario 1 : Reading Data from a Hive Table
Problem : You need to read data from a Hive table for further processing .

Solution :

df = spark . sql ( " SELECT * FROM your_hive_table " )

" )

Explanation :

Using spark . sql ( ) , you can execute SQL queries directly on Hive tables within your Spark application . This method leverages Spark's ability to integrate seamlessly with Hive , allowing for complex queries and integration into your ETL pipelines .

df = spark.read.parquet("/path/to/parquet/files

Scenario 2 : Reading Parquet Files
Problem : You have a directory of Parquet files that you need to read into a DataFrame .

Solution :

df = spark . read . parquet ( " / path / to / parquet / files / " )

/ " )

Explanation :

spark . read . parquet ( ) efficiently reads from Parquet files , a columnar storage format , which is ideal for high - performance data processing . Spark's built - in support for Parquet allows for automatic schema inference and pushdown optimizations , improving performance and reducing I / O .

6

df = spark.read.option("multiline", "true").json("/path/to/json/files

Scenario 4 : Reading JSON Files with Options
Problem : Load JSON files , considering multiline JSON records .

Solution :

df = spark . read . option ( " multiline " , " true " ) . json ( " / path / to / json / files / " )

/ " )

Explanation :

JSON files can sometimes contain multiline records . Setting the multiline option to true enables Spark to interpret each multiline record as a single row in the DataFrame . This is crucial for correctly parsing files where JSON objects are formatted over multiple lines .
