Consider a scenario where you have a large dataset stored in a distributed file system, and you need to perform some data preprocessing and analysis using Pandas-like operations. How would you approach this task using Pandas API on Spark?

Simulated

Read the entire dataset into a Pandas DataFrame and perform the preprocessing and analysis locally.

0.0%

Read the dataset in chunks, perform the preprocessing and analysis on each chunk using Pandas, and then combine the results.

8.3%

Read the dataset into a Spark DataFrame, convert it to a Pandas on Spark DataFrame, and perform the preprocessing and analysis using the Pandas on Spark APIs.

79.2%

Use native Spark operations to perform the preprocessing and analysis, as it is more efficient for large datasets.
