Spark Catalyst Optimizer Explained | Boost PySpark Performance & SQL Optimization

Описание: Ever wondered how Spark SQL delivers blazing-fast query performance? Meet the Catalyst Optimizer—the brain behind Spark’s magic. In this video, we’ll take you through:

🧠 What Catalyst Optimizer is and why it's a game-changer in Spark SQL
How queries transform through Parsing → Analysis → Logical

Optimizations → Physical Planning → Code Generation

Key optimization techniques: predicate & projection pushdown, column pruning, constant folding, join reordering

The difference between rule-based and cost-based optimization

Insights into how Catalyst works under the hood using tree pattern-matching in Scala

How code generation (whole-stage compilation) leads to lightning-fast execution

By the end, you'll understand why Spark runs smarter, and how to write queries that get the most out of Catalyst 💡
