The Critical Role of AI Data Engineers in a Data-Driven World How does a chatbot seamlessly interpret your questions? How does a self-driving car understand a chaotic street scene? The answer lies in unstructured data processing—a field that powers modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Unlike neatly organized rows and columns in spreadsheets, unstructured data—such as text, images, videos, and audio—requires advanced processing techniques to derive meaningful insights.

A few months ago I wrote a blog post about event skew and how dangerous it is for a stateful streaming job. Since it was a high-level explanation, I didn't cover Apache Spark Structured Streaming deeply at that moment. Now the watermark topic is back to my learning backlog and it's a good opportunity to return to the event skew topic and see the dangers it brings for Structured Streaming stateful jobs.

With the ever-growing focus on GenAI, many legacy BI tools have failed to invest in the analyst. By focusing solely on AI experiences for business teams, theyve alienated data teams, relegating analysts to disjointed tools and data silos. When in reality, businesses still need people who can help decision-makers assess messy data to diagnose and evaluate business problems.
