It's always a huge pleasure to see the PySpark API covering more and more Scala API features. Starting from Apache Spark 3.4.0 you can even write arbitrary stateful processing jobs! But since the API is a little bit different than the one available on the Scala side, I wanted to take a deeper look.

An Airflow TaskGroup helps make a complex DAG easier to organize and read. Airflow taskgroups are meant to replace SubDAGs, the historical way of grouping your tasks. Indeed, SubDAGs are too complicated only for grouping tasks. They bring a lot of complexity as you must create a DAG in a DAG, import the SubDagOperator (which is a sensor), define the parameters correctly, and so on.

77% of data and analytics professionals say data-driven decision-making is the top goal for their data programs. Data-driven decision-making and initiatives are certainly in demand, but their success hinges on … well, the data that supports them. More specifically, the quality and integrity of that data. It seems obvious enough, but checking that your data is up to the task and taking any necessary steps to improve and maintain its quality can be easier said than done.
