Course: data-engineering-zoomcamp
Section: module-6 (This topic is a foundational Spark concept that belongs in the Spark module (Module 6) to clarify core terminology and how Spark executes work.)
Related Issue: #228
Question
What is the difference between a Spark application, job, stage, and task?
Decision Rationale
No existing Spark FAQs in Module 6 cover the hierarchy and distinctions between application, job, stage, and task. The proposal provides a structured, foundational explanation with examples, so it should be added as a new article.
