Explain the use of File system API in Apache Spark
Answer / Mohammad Asad
The File System API in Apache Spark allows developers to interact with various storage systems such as HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), local file system, S3 (Simple Storage Service), and others. It provides methods for reading and writing data from/to these file systems using the Path object, which represents a specific file or directory location.nFor example, developers can use the `spark.read.textFile()` method to read data from an HDFS file and perform operations on it using Spark DataFrames.
