Fatal error: The Python kernel is unresponsive when attempting to query data from AWS Redshift within Jupyter notebook

New Contributor III

I am running jupyter notebook on a cluster with configuration:

12.2 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.3.2, Scala 2.12)

Worker type: i3.xlarge 30.5gb memory, 4 cores

Min 2 and max 8 workers

cursor = conn.cursor()
 
cursor.execute(
               """
               SELECT * FROM (
                  select *, random() as sample 
                  from tbl
               WHERE type = 'type1'
               AND created_at >= '2022-01-01 00:00:00' 
               AND created_at <= '2022-06-30 00:00:00') as samp
               WHERE sample < .05; -- return 5% of rows
               """
              )
 
# To Pandas DataFrame
df = DataFrame(cursor.fetchall())
 
# # # Get column names
field_names = [i[0] for i in cursor.description]
df.columns = field_names

 The data is fairly large, probably 300-400m rows. what configuration do I need to modify? or optimize the query? parallel processing etc.?
