Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Testing spark applications
Unit and e2e tests using a combination of pytest and chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa). Custom library to create random test data that fits schema with optional hardcoded overrides for relevant fields to test business logic.

Spark open source community is awesome
here's a little README fix a user pushed to chispa

Invitation to collaborate on open source PySpark projects
chispa is a library of PySpark testing functions.

installing pyspark on my m1 mac, getting an env error
The other approach I've used is Poetry, see the chispa project as an example. Poetry is especially nice for projects that you'd like to publish to PyPi because those commands are built-in.

Spark: local dev environment
- All Spark transformations are tested with pytest + chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa)

Pyspark now provides a native Pandas API
Pandas syntax is far inferior to regular PySpark in my opinion. Goes to show how much data analysts value a syntax that they're already familiar with. Pandas syntax makes it harder to reason about queries, abstract DataFrame transformations, etc. I've authored some popular PySpark libraries like quinn and chispa and am not excited to add Pandas syntax support, haha.

Show dataengineering: beavis, a library for unit testing Pandas/Dask code
I am the author of spark-fast-tests and chispa, libraries for unit testing Scala Spark / PySpark code.

Tips for building popular open source data engineering projects
Blogging has been the main way I've been able to attract users. Someone searches "testing PySpark", they see this blog, and then they're motivated to try chispa.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built daria (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-daria) to make it easier to write Spark and spark-fast-tests (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-fast-tests) to provide a good testing workflow.
quinn (https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn) and chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa) are the PySpark equivalents.
Built bebe (https://github.com/MrPowers/bebe) to expose the Spark Catalyst expressions that aren't exposed to the Scala / Python APIs.
Also build spark-sbt.g8 to create a Spark project with a single command: https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-sbt.g8

Open source contributions for a Data Engineer?
I've built popular PySpark (quinn, chispa) and Scala Spark (spark-daria, spark-fast-tests) libraries.

Open source contributions for a Data Engineer?
His newer project, Ballista, was also donated to Apache Arrow. I hope to get the Rust skills to collaborate with him on open source work someday too. He's also doing really cool work on spark-rapids FYI.

I am reading this article https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2015.00492/full and thinking how to create an Amazon EMR infrastructure wih PySpark. Why is the GPU server not one of the nodes in the Apache Spark cluster? Or this is just an abstract view and the nodes are also the GPUs?
The spark-rapids project allows one to run multi-GPU ETL workloads on a Spark cluster. https://github.com/NVIDIA/spark-rapids In such a setup, the GPU nodes are part of the Spark cluster. Multi-GPU nodes are viable, although an executor is currently limited to a single GPU.

Ballista: New approach for 2021
So, in my day job at NVIDIA, I work on the RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark, which is an open-source plugin that provides GPU-acceleration for ETL workloads, leveraging the RAPIDS cuDF GPU DataFrame library.
What are some alternatives?
spark-fast-tests - Apache Spark testing helpers (dependency free & works with Scalatest, uTest, and MUnit)
airbyte - The leading data integration platform for ETL / ELT data pipelines from APIs, databases & files to data warehouses, data lakes & data lakehouses. Both self-hosted and Cloud-hosted.
spark-daria - Essential Spark extensions and helper methods ✨😲
streamlit - Streamlit — A faster way to build and share data apps.
quinn - pyspark methods to enhance developer productivity 📣 👯 🎉
ballista - Distributed compute platform implemented in Rust, and powered by Apache Arrow.
lowdefy - The config web stack for business apps - build internal tools, client portals, web apps, admin panels, dashboards, web sites, and CRUD apps with YAML or JSON.
Apache Arrow - Apache Arrow is a multi-language toolbox for accelerated data interchange and in-memory processing
null - Nullable Go types that can be marshalled/unmarshalled to/from JSON.
dagster - An orchestration platform for the development, production, and observation of data assets.
meltano - Meltano: the declarative code-first data integration engine that powers your wildest data and ML-powered product ideas. Say goodbye to writing, maintaining, and scaling your own API integrations.
