Lazy Evaluation means that the execution will not start until an action is triggered. Transformations are lazy in nature meaning when we call some operation in RDD, it does not execute immediately. Now some advantages of this Lazy Evaluation in Spark: Increases Manageability :Using Apache Spark RDD lazy evaluation, users can freely organize their Apache …

For better performance of spark application it is important to understand the resource allocation and the spark tuning process. This article help you to understand how to calculate the number of executors, executor memory and number of cores required for better performance of your application. Below is the sample spark submit command ./bin/spark-submit –class <class_name> …
Executor is a distributed agent that is responsible for executing tasks. Executors are managed by executor backend (ExecutorBackend is a pluggable interface that TaskRunners use to send task status updates to a scheduler). Executors reports heartbeat to HeartbeatReceiver RPC Endpoint on the driver. Executors provide in-memory storage for RDDs using via Block Manager. BlockManager is …
DRIVER : A Spark driver is a JVM process that hosts SparkContext for a Spark application. It is the master node in a Spark application. The driver (an application’s driver process) splits a Spark application into tasks. It also schedules them to run on executors. It’s driver responsibility to coordinated with workers and also manage …
