Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy
Recently I had to revisit the "JVM languages universe" again. Yes, language(s), plural! Java isn't the only language that uses the JVM. I previously used Scala, which is a JVM language, to use Apache Spark for Data Engineering workloads, but this is for another post 😉.

Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about
Apache SeaTunnel is a data integration platform that offers the three pillars of data pipelines: sources, transforms, and sinks. It offers an abstract API over three possible engines: the Zeta engine from SeaTunnel or a wrapper around Apache Spark or Apache Flink. Be careful, as each engine comes with its own set of features.

PySpark SparkSession Builder with Kubernetes Master
I recently saw a pull request that was merged to the Apache/Spark repository that apparently adds initial Python bindings for PySpark on K8s. I posted a comment to the PR asking a question about how to use spark-on-k8s in a Python Jupyter notebook, and was told to ask my question here.

How do you update an existing avro schema using apache avro SchemaBuilder?
I am testing a new schema registry which loads and retrieves different kinds of avro schemas. In the process of testing, I need to create a bunch of different types of avro schemas. As it involves a lot of permutations, I decided to create the schema programmatically.I am using the apache avro SchemaBuilder to do so.

gRPC on the client side
Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:

Events: Fat or Thin?
Supporting multiple versions of an event schema is a solved problem. Apache Avro with a published schema hash in a message header is one solution.
