Task

Swipe to start coding

Download the flights dataset and load it into a Spark DataFrame, then convert it to an RDD. Using only RDD transformations and actions – no DataFrame methods – complete the following:

  1. Count the total number of flights in the dataset and store it in total_flights;
  2. Filter flights where DEPARTURE_DELAY is greater than 30 minutes, count them, and store the result in delayed_count;
  3. From the delayed flights, extract unique airlines and store the sorted list in delayed_airlines;
  4. Find the maximum DISTANCE value using reduce() and store it in max_distance.
