A data engineer develops an AWS Glue Apache Spark ETL job to perform transformations on...

A “No space left on device” error typically results from data skew or large shuffle stages. The best actions are:

B. Monitor using Spark UI and Glue metrics to find skewed partitions or executor issues.

D. Use --write-shuffle-files-to-s3 to offload intermediate data to S3 instead of local disk, and apply salting to reduce skew.

“You can reduce the impact of data skew and large shuffle operations by monitoring with Spark UI and enabling the --write-shuffle-files-to-s3 option. Salting can help rebalance the skewed keys.”

Scaling out workers (A, C) is more costly and less efficient if the root cause (skew) is not fixed.
