PROFILE

Aakash Japi

Worked on the apache/spark repository to deliver foundational features for declarative data pipelines within Apache Spark. Developed the Spark Connect API, introducing protocol buffers to enable remote, vendor-neutral construction and execution of dataflow graphs and datasets. Built the DataflowGraph infrastructure, allowing graph-based management of pipelines with capabilities for creation, resolution, validation, and schema inference. Leveraged Scala, Spark, and protobuf to enhance pipeline reliability and extensibility, focusing on early error detection and schema determination. The work established a robust API surface and infrastructure in Spark SQL, positioning the platform for future optimizations and more flexible, cross-system data workflows.
