Data Wrangling with PySpark for Data Scientists Who Know Pandas - Andrew Ray

"Data scientists spend more time wrangling data than making models. Traditional tools like Pandas provide a very powerful data manipulation toolset. Transitioning to big data tools like PySpark allows one to work with much larger datasets, but can come at the cost of productivity.
In this session, learn about data wrangling in PySpark from the perspective of an experienced Pandas user. Topics will include best practices, common pitfalls, performance consideration and debugging.

Really nice how we see pandas and pyspark functions side-by-side!

[@javonnii436]

yea I thought the same!

[@AlessandroBottoni]

Fantastic introduction to PySpark for beginners. Hope to see Andrew Ray again on the stage for other presentations.

[@ratkush]

Must watch Q n A session in the end. I loved it.

[@enes-the-cat-father]

Thank you for such a great presentation for beginners!

[@kevinlin5486]

This a great video. Exactly what I'm looking for thanks very much.

[@tanishasharma3665]

he provided with a really good comparison between the two!

[@thedarkknight579]

Thank you so much for the Session ❤️

[@VishalSharma16]

Super helpful, thanks for sharing!

[@toygraphers240]

Thank you very much for your contribution.

[@ZenvilleErasmus]

Cool talk and key differences nicely illustrated.

[@alexnim4873]

great presentation!

[@willwright5181]

Great intro!

[@goedzo4361]

Really helpful

[@Arjun147gtk]

I think I need a soundbox on full volume to hear this.

[@jaspreet0305]

I've the same issue, thanks to the captions, I saved a lot of money

[@santil.7072]

Does it mean that using pyspark sql is the best practice in data wrangling using spark?

[@pratikmehta1152]

Volume is low! :(

[@konstantinrebrov675]

use detachable speakers

[@abrahamf80]

My path to data was a little bit unsual to say the least, started to work in the financial industry using databricks and now on side projects started to work on pandas... funny that I actually used this video backwards hehe

[@raphaels2103]

19:12, now pandas has an SQL support

[@elliottharris4526]

Would this be a good tool for combining large numbers of csvs into a single dataframe quickly and then performing manipulations on that dataframe before outputting a single csv?

[@1over137]

PySpark is great with it's read only. It all goes badly wrong when you try and write anything with a typed schema.

[@musasall5740]

by just downloading and writing this code it will not work. You have to create a session.

[@francischab2262]

[@krishnakishorepeddisetti4387]

Which is better in databricks environment?? Python or R or SQL..reply in comments

[@jimbocho660]

Most people seem to find SQL better.

[@Rabixter]

Whats with the volume?

[@xiaoyunzhang6878]

Nebraska Alumni

[@Tyokok]

great tech video, but volume really ...

[@trespittman1055]

Too quiet please fix

[@kaixianghuang8589]

LOL good presentation, but unprepared for the Q &A

[@TheBjjninja]

Why did someone ask about uDF? What does UDF have to do with spark?

[@Drivebyeasy]

Hey Andrew could you send me your Github link

[@Atlas-ck9vm]

Just use koalas.
