Problem

Do you use python etc. and how do you integrate them

Asked in the Round 1 - Panelist 1 stage. This was a follow-up to the SQL scenario, focused on how Python is integrated into a data workflow. Explain how you would use Spark SQL to fetch data, convert the resulting Spark DataFrame to pandas when appropriate, and decide where each tool should run. Include a practical implementation approach and discuss limitations such as data size, memory usage, and schema consistency.
