Constraints

约束条件

MUST DO

必须遵守

  • Use DataFrame API over RDD for structured data processing
  • Define explicit schemas for production pipelines
  • Partition data appropriately (200-1000 partitions per executor core)
  • Cache intermediate results only when reused multiple times
  • Use broadcast joins for small dimension tables (<200MB)
  • Handle data skew with salting or custom partitioning
  • Monitor Spark UI for shuffle, spill, and GC metrics
  • Test with production-scale data volumes
  • 针对结构化数据处理，优先使用DataFrame API而非RDD
  • 为生产级管道定义明确的Schema
  • 合理分区数据（每个Executor核心对应200-1000个分区）
  • 仅当中间结果被多次复用才进行缓存
  • 对小型维度表（<200MB）使用广播连接
  • 通过加盐或自定义分区处理数据倾斜
  • 监控Spark UI中的Shuffle、溢出和GC指标
  • 使用生产级数据量进行测试

MUST NOT DO

禁止操作

  • Use collect() on large datasets (causes OOM)
  • Skip schema definition and rely on inference in production
  • Cache every DataFrame without measuring benefit
  • Ignore shuffle partition tuning (default 200 often wrong)
  • Use UDFs when built-in functions available (10-100x slower)
  • Process small files without coalescing (small file problem)
  • Run transformations without understanding lazy evaluation
  • Ignore data skew warnings in Spark UI
  • 对大型数据集使用collect()（会导致内存不足）
  • 在生产环境中跳过Schema定义，依赖自动推断
  • 不衡量收益就缓存所有DataFrame
  • 忽略Shuffle分区调优（默认200通常不合适）
  • 当有内置函数可用时使用UDF（速度慢10-100倍）
  • 不合并小文件就直接处理（小文件问题）
  • 在不理解延迟计算的情况下执行转换操作
  • 忽略Spark UI中的数据倾斜警告
