PySpark jobs on JuiceFS benefit from its Hadoop-compatible interface and local cache for repeated dataset reads.
Python data engineers in on-premise environments use LizardFS as a shared POSIX file system mounted across pipeline worker nodes. Python scripts write output files to the LizardFS mount and those files are immediately visible to all other nodes in the cluster — enabling simple shared-nothing pipeline patterns where workers write outputs that other workers consume without message queue coordination.
