Benefits of setting up data profiling

Data Profiling for Databricks provides users with powerful insights and analysis into their data. It helps by providing data discovery, diagnostics, reporting, and other analysis that can uncover hidden problems and opportunities in datasets. It also allows users to quickly compare different types of data, perform impact analysis, and create summaries and visualizations. Additionally, users can set thresholds that trigger alerts and responses to potential data issues within their dataset. With Data Profiling for Databricks, users can get a bird's eye view of their datasets, allowing them to uncover patterns and trends that may lead to deeper insights, providing an overall better understanding of data.

Why should you have Data Profiling for Databricks

To set up data profiling using Databricks and Secoda, start by registering for a Databricks account. Next, create a cloud-based cluster using Apache Spark for cluster computing. Add your data sources in the form of structured, semi-structured, or unstructured datasets to the cluster for connecting with Secoda for automating the data lineage. Finally, use the data profiling capabilities in Databricks to identify and cleanse data errors prior to loading the data into the target system.
