**Topic – Optimizing Spark Jobs with AQE-Adaptive Query Execution**
Abstract: In this talk, we will explore the fundamentals of Adaptive Query Execution and how it helps Spark jobs automatically adjust to runtime conditions such as skewed data or varying resource availability. Key topics include dynamic partition pruning, skewed join handling, and coalescing shuffle partitions to reduce overhead. We will also walk through how to enable and configure AQE, discussing the key settings that can optimize Spark performance in real-world production environments.
