I vouch for Sajith's answer. The main advantage with "CONVERT TO DELTA" is that operations are metadata centric which means we are not reading the full data for the conversion. For any other file format conversion, it's necessary to read the data com...

Hyperopt, how to setup hyper-parameter for categorical vs numerical hyperparameter?

 hp.quniform (“quantized uniform”) or hp.qloguniform to generate integers. hp.choice is the right choice when, for example, choosing among categorical choices (which might in some situations even be integers, but not usually).https://databricks.com/b...

Z-Ordering is a technique to colocate related information in the same set of files. This co-locality is automatically used by Delta Lake on Databricks data-skipping algorithms to dramatically reduce the amount of data that needs to be read. Syntax fo...

It's actually pretty simple: use hyperopt, but use "Trials" not "SparkTrials". You get parallelism from Spark, not from the tuning process.

With Z-order and Hilbert curves, the effectiveness of clustering decreases with each column added - so you'd want to zorder only the columns that you's actually use so that it's speed up your workloads.
