{"response":"Spark Basics\nSuppose we have a web application hosted in an application orchestrator like kubernetes. If load in that particular application increases then we can horizontally scale our application simply by increasing the number of pods in our service.\nNow let’s suppose there is heavy compute operation happening in each of the pods. Then there will be certain limit upto which these services can run because unlike horizontal scaling where you can have as many numbers of machines as required, there is limit for vertical scaling because you can’t have unlimited ram and cpu cores for each of the machines in a cluster. Distributed Computing removes this limitation of vertical scaling by distributing the processing across cluster of machines. Now, a group of machines alone is not powerful, you need a framework to coordinate work across them. Spark does just that, managing and coordinating the execution of tasks on data across a cluster of computers. The cluster of machines that Spark will use to execute tasks is managed by a cluster manager like Spark’s standalone cluster manager, Kubernetes, YARN, or Mesos.\nSpark Basics\nSpark is distributed data processing engine. Distributed data processing in big data is simply series of map and reduce functions which runs across the cluster machines. Given below is python code for calculating the sum of all the even numbers from a given list with the help of map and reduce functions.\nfrom functools import reduce\na = [1,2,3,4,5]\nres = reduce(lambda x,y: x+y, (map(lambda x: x if x%2==0 else 0, a)))\nNow consider, if instead of a simple list, it is a parquet file of size in order of gigabytes. Computation with MapReduce system becomes optimized way of dealing with such problems. In this case spark will load the big parquet file into multiple worker nodes (if the file doesn’t support distributed storage then it will be first loaded into driver node and afterwards, it will get distributed across the worker nodes). Then map function will be executed for each task in each worker node and the final result will fetched with the reduce function.\nSpark timeline\nGoogle was first to introduce large scale distributed computing solution with MapReduce and its own distributed file system i.e., Google File System(GFS). GFS provided a blueprint for the Hadoop File System (HDFS), including the MapReduce implementation as a framework for distributed computing. Apache Hadoop framework was developed consisting of Hadoop Common, MapReduce, HDFS, and Apache Hadoop YARN. There were various limitations with Apache Hadoop like it fell short for combining other workloads such as machine learning, streaming, or interactive SQL-like queries etc. Also the results of the reduce computations were written to a local disk for subsequent stage of operations. Then came the Spark. Spark provides in-memory storage for intermediate computations, making it much faster than Hadoop MapReduce. It incorporates libraries with composable APIs for machine learning (MLlib), SQL for interactive queries (Spark SQL), stream processing (Structured Streaming) for interacting with real-time data, and graph processing (GraphX).\nSpark Application\nSpark Applications consist of a driver process and a set of executor processes. The driver process runs your main() function, sits on a node in the cluster. The executors are responsible for actually carrying out the work that the driver assigns them. The driver and executors are simply processes, which means that they can live on the same machine or different machines.\nThere is a SparkSession object available to the user, which is the entrance point to running Spark code. When using Spark from Python or R, you don’t write explicit JVM instructions; instead, you write Python and R code that Spark translates into code that it then can run on the executor JVMs.\nSpark’s language APIs make it possible for you to run Spark code using various programming languages like Scala, Java, Python, SQL and R.\nSpark has two fundamental sets of APIs: the low-level “unstructured” APIs (RDDs), and the higher-level structured APIs (Dataframes, Datasets).\nSpark Toolsets\nA DataFrame is the most common Structured API and simply represents a table of data with rows and columns. To allow every executor to perform work in parallel, Spark breaks up the data into chunks called partitions. A partition is a collection of rows that sit on one physical machine in your cluster.\nIf a function returns a Dataframe or Dataset or Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) then it is a transformation and if it doesn’t return anything then it’s an action. An action instructs Spark to compute a result from a series of transformations. The simplest action is count.\nTransformation are of types narrow and wide. Narrow transformations are those for which each input partition will contribute to only one output partition. Wide transformation will have input partitions contributing to many output partitions.\nSparks performs a lazy evaluation which means that Spark will wait until the very last moment to execute the graph of computation instructions. This provides immense benefits because Spark can optimize the entire data flow from end to end.\nSpark-submit\nReferences\n- https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/\n- spark: The Definitive Guide by Bill Chambers and Matei Zaharia"}

The primary function of the Markdown Maker API is to convert web pages into structured markdown or clean text, allowing for easy integration and processing of web content.
The clean text endpoint retrieves only the relevant content from a web page, eliminating menus, ads, and other non-essential elements to provide a focused output.
Yes, the Markdown Maker API is designed to support a wide range of web pages and formats, ensuring versatility and reliable performance for different types of content.
The markdown endpoint allows developers to transform web content into markdown format, which streamlines workflows for content management systems, blogs, and documentation, making it easier to manage and display content.
Yes, the Markdown Maker API is particularly suitable for content management systems as it simplifies the process of extracting and formatting web content, enhancing efficiency and organization.
The clean text endpoint returns a focused text output, stripping away non-essential elements like ads and menus. The markdown endpoint returns structured markdown content, including metadata such as title, URL, description, and categories, along with the main content formatted in markdown.
For the clean text endpoint, the key field is "response," which contains the extracted text. For the markdown endpoint, key fields include "title," "url," "description," "sitename," "date," "categories," and the main content formatted in markdown.
The clean text response is a simple string under the "response" key. The markdown response is structured with metadata fields followed by the main content, allowing easy parsing and integration into applications.
The clean text endpoint provides relevant textual content from a web page, while the markdown endpoint offers both the content and associated metadata, such as title, URL, and categories, facilitating better content management.
Users can customize requests by specifying different URLs for the endpoints. The API processes the content of the provided URL, allowing users to extract or convert various web pages as needed.
Typical use cases include content extraction for blogs, documentation, and content management systems. Developers can automate the process of gathering and formatting web content for easier integration and display.
The Markdown Maker API relies on the structure of the web pages it processes. While it aims to extract relevant content accurately, the quality of the output depends on the source page's structure and content quality.
If the API returns partial or empty results, users should verify the URL provided for accessibility and content availability. Implementing error handling in applications can help manage such scenarios effectively.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
