What this topic covers
DE//AGENT currently lists 2 resources under aqe: 1 tutorial, 1 skill. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.
What you can learn here
Documented learning objectives across these resources:
- Read task-level duration histograms to confirm skew — via Spark Skew Diagnosis
- Choose between AQE skew join, salting and broadcast — via Spark Skew Diagnosis
- Reproduce skew locally with a bounded dataset — via Spark Skew Diagnosis
- Attach the evidence a skew review requires — via Diagnose a skewed Spark stage
Where this fits in the learning roadmap
These resources map to stage: Data Processing (2). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.
Compare the registry's options
Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.
| Resource | Type | Difficulty | Verification | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spark Skew Diagnosis | Skill | advanced | community flags | 38.5 |
| Diagnose a skewed Spark stage | Tutorial | intermediate | community | 34.15 |
How scores are computed: source quality score.
Where to start
Highest composite score first:
- Spark Skew Diagnosis score 38.5 — advanced
- Diagnose a skewed Spark stage score 34.15 — intermediate
Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.

Cautions and limitations
Security-flagged entries: Spark Skew Diagnosis (2 flags). Flags mean the record declares capabilities like credential use or write access — read the security posture on each page before connecting.
Production use cases
- Spark Skew Diagnosis — Walks an agent through reading the Spark UI/event log to distinguish key skew, partition skew, and shuffle-write amplification, then selects between salting, AQE skew join, broadca… details
- Diagnose a skewed Spark stage — One Spark stage hangs while other executors idle. Open the stage view, read the p50-vs-p99 task durations, and follow the skew skill's decision order: AQE skew join first, salting … details
