A collection of runnable Python example scripts demonstrating PySpark RDD, DataFrame, and SQL operations, companion to the SparkByExamples tutorial site. Each example is a single-file script with sample data for learning Apache Spark in Python.

Use cases

• learn pyspark dataframe operations with runnable examples
• understand rdd vs dataframe in spark with python code
• find example pyspark join groupby and filter code
• practice spark sql queries in python
• prepare for data engineering interviews on spark
• set up a local pyspark learning environment

When to choose

• you are learning PySpark and want copy-paste runnable example scripts
• you need quick reference snippets for RDD, DataFrame, or Spark SQL operations
• you follow the sparkbyexamples.com tutorials and want the companion code

When to avoid

• you need a production data pipeline framework rather than learning material
• you want a maintained library with a license and API guarantees
• you need Scala, Java, or R Spark examples instead of Python
