PySpark
PySpark is an interface for Apache Spark in Python. It not only allows you to write Spark applications using Python APIs, but also provides the PySpark shell for interactively analyzing your data in a distributed environment. PySpark supports most of Spark’s features such as Spark SQL, DataFrame, Streaming, MLlib (Machine Learning) and Spark Core. Spark SQL is a Spark module for structured data processing. It provides a programming abstraction called DataFrame and can also act as distributed SQL query engine. Running on top of Spark, the streaming feature in Apache Spark enables powerful interactive and analytical applications across both streaming and historical data, while inheriting Spark’s ease of use and fault tolerance characteristics.
