Explanation:
Using broadcast joins can help to reduce data shuffling by ensuring that small tables are broadcasted to all executors, thereby avoiding the need for a full shuffle. Additionally, caching techniques can be used to store intermediate results in memory, which can improve performance by reducing the need to recompute expensive operations.
