What are the types of serializers in Spark?
In Spark, there are several common types of serializers.
- Java Serialization: Utilizing Java’s default mechanism for serializing data.
- Kryo Serialization: Implement efficient binary serialization using the Kryo library, which is faster than Java Serialization.
- Serialize and deserialize data using Apache Avro.
- Utilize Protobuf for data serialization and deserialization.
- Thrift Serialization: Utilizing Apache Thrift for data serialization and deserialization.
These types of serializers can be configured in Spark to meet various performance and requirement needs.
