Spark SQL serves as Apache Spark's dedicated module for handling structured and unstructured data. It exposes information regarding data structure and the computations executed, which facilitates performance optimizations. Spark SQL is primarily utilised for two key purposes:
- Executing SQL queries.
- Reading data from an existing Hive installation.

Through this instructor-led live training (available onsite or remotely), participants will acquire the skills to analyse diverse data sets using Spark SQL.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be equipped to:

• Install and configure Spark SQL.
• Conduct data analysis using Spark SQL.
• Query data sets across various formats.
• Visualise data and query outcomes.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practical application.
• Hands-on implementation within a live laboratory environment.
