&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Apache Spark RDD Operation&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to the various transformations and actions that can be applied to [[Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs)]] in [[Apache Spark]]. RDD operations enable efficient parallel processing of large datasets in a distributed environment.&lt;br /&gt;
==Types of RDD Operations ==&lt;br /&gt;
RDD operations are classified into two types:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformations:&#039;&#039;&#039; Lazy operations that return a new RDD without immediate execution.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Actions:&#039;&#039;&#039; Operations that trigger computation and return results or store data.&lt;br /&gt;
==Transformations==&lt;br /&gt;
Transformations are applied to RDDs to produce new RDDs. They are lazy, meaning they are not executed until an action is performed.&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Transformations===&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Transformation!!Description!!Example!!Result&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;map(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Applies a function to each element in the RDD.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4])&lt;br /&gt;
mapped_rdd = rdd.map(lambda x: x * 2)&lt;br /&gt;
print(mapped_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;|| `[2, 4, 6, 8]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| &#039;&#039;&#039;filter(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Retains elements that satisfy a condition.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])&lt;br /&gt;
filtered_rdd = rdd.filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0)&lt;br /&gt;
print(filtered_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[2, 4, 6]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;flatMap(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;|| Similar to map but allows multiple outputs per input.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([&amp;quot;hello world&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;spark rdd&amp;quot;])&lt;br /&gt;
flat_mapped_rdd = rdd.flatMap(lambda line: line.split(&amp;quot; &amp;quot;))&lt;br /&gt;
print(flat_mapped_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[&amp;quot;hello&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;world&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;spark&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;rdd&amp;quot;]`&lt;br /&gt;

rdd1 = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3])&lt;br /&gt;
rdd2 = sparkContext.parallelize([4, 5, 6])&lt;br /&gt;
union_rdd = rdd1.union(rdd2)&lt;br /&gt;
print(union_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;distinct()&#039;&#039;&#039;||Removes duplicate elements. ||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5])&lt;br /&gt;
distinct_rdd = rdd.distinct()&lt;br /&gt;
print(distinct_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;groupByKey()&#039;&#039;&#039;|| Groups data by key (for (K,V) pairs).||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([(&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;, 1), (&amp;quot;b&amp;quot;, 2), (&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;, 3)])&lt;br /&gt;
grouped_rdd = rdd.groupByKey().mapValues(list)&lt;br /&gt;
print(grouped_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[(&#039;a&#039;, [1, 3]), (&#039;b&#039;, [2])]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;reduceByKey(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Merges values for each key using a function.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([(&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;, 1), (&amp;quot;b&amp;quot;, 2), (&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;, 3)])&lt;br /&gt;
reduced_rdd = rdd.reduceByKey(lambda x, y: x + y)&lt;br /&gt;
print(reduced_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[(&#039;a&#039;, 4), (&#039;b&#039;, 2)]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;sortByKey()&#039;&#039;&#039;||Sorts RDD by key.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([(&amp;quot;b&amp;quot;, 2), (&amp;quot;a&amp;quot;, 1), (&amp;quot;c&amp;quot;, 3)])&lt;br /&gt;
sorted_rdd = rdd.sortByKey()&lt;br /&gt;
print(sorted_rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[(&#039;a&#039;, 1), (&#039;b&#039;, 2), (&#039;c&#039;, 3)]`&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
==Actions==&lt;br /&gt;
Actions compute and return results or store RDD data. They trigger the execution of all previous transformations.&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Actions===&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Action!!Description!!Example!!Result&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;collect()&#039;&#039;&#039;|| Returns all elements of the RDD to the driver.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4])&lt;br /&gt;
print(rdd.collect())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[1, 2, 3, 4]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;count()&#039;&#039;&#039;||Returns the number of elements.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4])&lt;br /&gt;
print(rdd.count())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;|| `4`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;reduce(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Aggregates elements using a binary function.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3, 4])&lt;br /&gt;
sum_result = rdd.reduce(lambda x, y: x + y)&lt;br /&gt;
print(sum_result)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`10`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;first()&#039;&#039;&#039;||Returns the first element.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([10, 20, 30])&lt;br /&gt;
print(rdd.first())&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`10`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;take(n)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Returns the first n elements.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([10, 20, 30, 40])&lt;br /&gt;
print(rdd.take(2))&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`[10, 20]`&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|&#039;&#039;&#039;foreach(func)&#039;&#039;&#039;||Applies a function to each element.||&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.parallelize([1, 2, 3])&lt;br /&gt;
rdd.foreach(lambda x: print(x))&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;||`1, 2, 3` (printed output)&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
==Lazy Evaluation in RDDs==&lt;br /&gt;
RDD transformations are &#039;&#039;&#039;lazy&#039;&#039;&#039;, meaning they do not execute immediately. Instead, Spark builds a &#039;&#039;&#039;DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph)&#039;&#039;&#039; representing operations, which is only executed when an action is called.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Example:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.textFile(&amp;quot;data.txt&amp;quot;)  # No execution yet&lt;br /&gt;
words = rdd.flatMap(lambda line: line.split())  # Still not executed&lt;br /&gt;
word_count = words.count()  # Now execution starts&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Persistence and Caching==&lt;br /&gt;
RDDs can be cached in memory to speed up iterative computations:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;cache()&#039;&#039;&#039; – Stores the RDD in memory.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;persist(storage_level)&#039;&#039;&#039; – Stores the RDD using different storage levels (e.g., memory, disk).&lt;br /&gt;
Example:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
rdd = sparkContext.textFile(&amp;quot;data.txt&amp;quot;).cache()&lt;br /&gt;
print(rdd.count())  # RDD is now cached in memory&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Comparison with DataFrames==&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Feature!!RDD!!DataFrame&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Abstraction Level||Low (Resilient Distributed Dataset)||High (Table-like structure)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Performance||Slower (No optimizations)||Faster (Uses Catalyst Optimizer)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Storage Format||Unstructured||Schema-based&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Ease of Use||Requires functional transformations||SQL-like API&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
==Advantages of RDDs==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Fault Tolerant:&#039;&#039;&#039; Uses lineage to recompute lost partitions.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Parallel Execution:&#039;&#039;&#039; Automatically distributes computations across nodes.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Immutable and Lazy Evaluation:&#039;&#039;&#039; Optimizes execution by avoiding unnecessary computations.&lt;br /&gt;
==Limitations of RDDs==&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Higher Memory Usage:&#039;&#039;&#039; No schema-based optimizations.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Verbose API:&#039;&#039;&#039; Requires functional programming.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Less Optimized than DataFrames:&#039;&#039;&#039; Lacks query optimizations found in Spark DataFrames.&lt;br /&gt;
==Applications==&lt;br /&gt;
*Processing large-scale unstructured data.&lt;br /&gt;
*Complex transformations requiring fine-grained control.&lt;br /&gt;
*Iterative machine learning computations.&lt;br /&gt;
