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 and DataFrame**
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
**Streaming**
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
**MLlib**
|
||
|
||
Built on top of Spark, MLlib is a scalable machine learning library that provides
|
||
a uniform set of high-level APIs that help users create and tune practical machine
|
||
learning pipelines.
|
||
|
||
**Spark Core**
|
||
|
||
Spark Core is the underlying general execution engine for the Spark platform that all
|
||
other functionality is built on top of. It provides an RDD (Resilient Distributed Dataset)
|
||
and in-memory computing capabilities.
