✨ FAQ NEW
Course: data-engineering-zoomcamp
Section: module-6 (Topic fits Spark module (module-6) and explains handling data quality issues and outliers when computing max values for taxi trip_distance.)
Related Issue: #230
Question
Why does max(trip_distance) return extremely large values in Spark for yellow_tripdata_2023-11, and how can I obtain a realistic maximum?
Decision Rationale
The existing Spark FAQs in Module 6 do not cover dealing with outlier trip_distance values when computing max, and the ENTRY provides a concrete filter approach with explanation. This content is not present in current FAQs, so a new entry is warranted.
