What you’ll learn

Despite being one of the most popular frameworks for data analysis, pandas isn’t distributed and can’t process TB of data. Databricks solves this issue by allowing users to leverage pandas API while processing the data with Spark distributed engine. This demo shows you how to process big data using pandas API (previously known as Koalas).

 

To install the demo, get a free Databricks workspace and execute the following two commands in a Python notebook

%pip install dbdemos
import dbdemos
dbdemos.install('pandas-on-spark')
