A machine learning engineer is using the following code block to scale the inference of a single-node model on a Spark DataFrame with one million records:
Assuming the default Spark configuration is in place, which of the following is a benefit of using an Iterator?
Using an iterator in the pandas_udf ensures that the model only needs to be loaded once per executor rather than once per batch. This approach reduces the overhead associated with repeatedly loading the model during the inference process, leading to more efficient and faster predictions. The data will be distributed across multiple executors, but each executor will load the model only once, optimizing the inference process.
