Minimizing data transfers and avoiding shuffling helps in writing spark programs that run in a fast and reliable manner. The various ways in which data transfers can be minimized when working with Apache Spark are:

  1. Using Broadcast Variable- Broadcast variable enhances the efficiency of joins between small and large RDDs.
  2. Using Accumulators – Accumulators help update the values of variables in parallel while executing.
  3. The most common way is to avoid operations ByKey, repartition or any other operations which trigger shuffles.

I hope this will help!!
