Understanding RDD and Spark Operations
RDD (Resilient Distributed Dataset) is the fundamental data structure of Apache Spark. It is a fault-tolerant collection of elements distributed across multiple nodes in a cluster, designed for parallel processing.
Key Features of RDD
- Distributed: Data is split across multiple machines.
- Immutable: Once created, it cannot be changed.
- Fault-tolerant: Lost data can be recomputed using lineage.
- Lazy evaluation: Operations are executed only when needed.

My Industrial Chemistry Internship at Enagás
My name is Yraya, and I am an Industrial Chemistry student. I completed my internship at Enagás, a gas storage facility in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva.
I worked from February 19th to April 20th, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The commute took 30 minutes, and I was paid 100 euros per month.
My main tasks included taking equipment readings, assisting with loading ships and tankers, and observing ship connections for gas operations. I also

Fundamental System Properties
System Properties define how a system behaves across all inputs and time:
- Linearity (Additivity and Homogeneity): A system is linear if it follows the principle of superposition. Mathematically, if x₁(t) → y₁(t) and x₂(t) → y₂(t), then ax₁(t) + bx₂(t) → ay₁(t) + by₂(t).
- Shift-Invariance (Time-Invariance): A system is shift-invariant if a delay in the input results in an identical delay in the output. If x(t) → y(t), then x(t – t₀) → y(t – t₀)
