Overview This three-day hands-on training course delivers the key concepts and expertise developers need to optimize the performance of their Apache Spark applications. During the course, participants will learn how to identify common sources of poor performance in Spark applications, techniques for avoiding or solving them, and best practices for Spark application monitoring. Optimizing Apache Spark Applications presents the architecture and concepts behind Apache Spark and underlying data platform, then builds on this foundational understanding by teaching students how to tune Spark application code. The course format emphasizes instructor-led demonstrations illustrate both performance issues and the techniques that address them, followed by hands-on exercises that give students an opportunity to practice what they've learned through an interactive notebook environment. Download full course description What You'll Learn Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: Understand Apache Spark's architecture, job execution, and how techniques such as lazy execution and pipelining can improve runtime performance Evaluate the performance characteristics of core data structures such as RDD and DataFrames Select the file formats that will provide the best performance for your application Identify and resolve performance problems caused by data skew Use partitioning, bucketing, and join optimizations to improve SparkSQL performance Understand the performance overhead of Python-based RDDs, DataFrames, and user-defined functions Take advantage of caching for better application performance Understand how the Catalyst and Tungsten optimizers work Understand how Workload XM can help troubleshoot and proactively monitor Spark applications performance Learn how the Adaptive Query Execution engine improves performance What to Expect This course is designed for software developers, engineers, and data scientists who have experience developing Spark applications and want to learn how to improve the performance of their code. This is not an introduction to Spark. Spark examples and hands-on exercises are presented in Python and the ability to program in this language is required. Basic familiarity with the Linux command line is assumed. Basic knowledge of SQL is helpful.   DATE: November 19-21, 2025 Virtual Classroom, EMEA - FRENCH 9:00 - 17:00 (CET TIMEZONE) Read more

Please enjoy this section of your selected course to help you on your data journey. Disclaimer - The following descriptions and objectives are for the full course. Overview Lab environment is included with this course. Starting in lesson 04 you will be able to launch your environment. This course presents detailed explanation, comprehensive theory, key skills, and recommended practices for successful platform administration. Upon completion of this course a Cloudera Administrator will learn the full range of functionality and capability of Cloudera Manager. This course provides an in-depth explanation and skills to become highly productive with Cloudera Manager and the Cloudera platform. Cloudera Manager is a full featured and mature DevOps tool. It is used to install, configure, operate, troubleshoot, report, and upgrade Cloudera. Many Cloudera Administrators only use a fraction of the capabilities built into Cloudera Manager. This course teaches the architecture, deployment, configuration, logging, reporting, REST API, and much more. The course provides references for architecture and recommended practices used by enterprises around the globe. What to expect While this course is an entry point for aspiring Cloudera Administrators this course is detailed enough for more senior Cloudera Administrators to discover new functionality and capabilities. This course is intended for Linux Administrators who are taking up roles as Platform Administrators. We recommend a minimum of 2 years of system administration experience in industry. Students must have proficiency in Linux. Knowledge of Directory Services, Transport Layer Security, Kerberos, and SQL select statements is helpful. Students must have access to the Internet to reach Amazon Web Services. Read more
