Greatest practices

Have in mind the next greatest practices:

• Think about using the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark from Amazon EMR as an alternative of utilizing the redshift-spark connector (neighborhood model) on your new Apache Spark jobs.
• When you’ve got current Apache Spark jobs utilizing the redshift-spark connector (neighborhood model), take into account upgrading them to make use of the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark
• The Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark routinely applies predicate and question pushdown to optimize for efficiency. We suggest utilizing supported capabilities (autopushdown) in your question. The Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark will flip the operate right into a SQL question and run the question in Amazon Redshift. This optimization ends in required information being retrieved, so Apache Spark can course of much less information and have higher efficiency.
  • Think about using mixture pushdown capabilities like avg, depend, max, min, and sum to retrieve filtered information for information processing.
  • Think about using Boolean pushdown operators like in, isnull, isnotnull, incorporates, endswith, and startswith to retrieve filtered information for information processing.
  • Think about using logical pushdown operators like and, or, and not (or !) to retrieve filtered information for information processing.
• It’s really useful to cross an IAM function utilizing the parameter aws_iam_role for the Amazon Redshift authentication out of your Apache Spark utility on Amazon EMR or AWS Glue. The IAM function ought to have essential permissions to retrieve short-term IAM credentials to authenticate to Amazon Redshift as proven on this weblog’s “Examples for Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark in an Apache Spark utility” part.
• With this characteristic, you don’t have to take care of your Amazon Redshift person title and password within the secrets and techniques supervisor and Amazon Redshift database.
• Amazon Redshift makes use of the UNLOAD SQL assertion to retailer this short-term information on Amazon S3. The Apache Spark utility retrieves the outcomes from the short-term listing (saved in Parquet file format). This short-term listing on Amazon S3 will not be cleaned up routinely, and subsequently may add extra price. We suggest utilizing Amazon S3 lifecycle insurance policies to outline the retention guidelines for the S3 bucket.
• It’s really useful to activate Amazon Redshift audit logging to log the details about connections and person actions in your database.
• It’s really useful to activate Amazon Redshift at-rest encryption to encrypt your information as Amazon Redshift writes it in its information facilities and decrypt it for you once you entry it.
• It’s really useful to improve to AWS Glue v4.0 and above to make use of the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark, which is on the market out of the field. Upgrading to this model of AWS Glue will routinely make use of this characteristic.
• It’s really useful to improve to Amazon EMR v6.9.0 and above to make use of the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark. You don’t need to handle any drivers or JAR recordsdata explicitly.
• Think about using Amazon EMR Studio notebooks to work together together with your Amazon Redshift information in your Apache Spark utility.
• Think about using AWS Glue Studio to create Apache Spark jobs utilizing a visible interface. You may also swap to writing Apache Spark code in both Scala or PySpark inside AWS Glue Studio.
