Does this skill help with distributed Dask clusters?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for setting up distributed clients and selecting the appropriate schedulers for both single-machine and multi-machine environments.

Can I use this for unstructured data like JSON logs?

Absolutely. The skill includes guidance on Dask Bags, which are optimized for parallelizing operations on unstructured or semi-structured data before converting them to structured formats.

When should I use Dask instead of standard pandas?

You should use Dask when your dataset exceeds your machine's available RAM or when operations on large pandas DataFrames become too slow and require multi-core parallelization.

How does Dask handle memory management for large files?

Dask uses lazy evaluation and blocked algorithms to process data in smaller chunks, ensuring that only the necessary parts of a dataset are loaded into memory at any given time.
