The author also implements a lightweight agent as a driver-side component that uses RL to choose configuration settings before a job runs.</p> <i>By Hina Gandhi</i> Apache Spark Reinforcement Learning Agents AI, ML & Data Engineering Development article Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:00:00 GMT https://www.infoq.com/articles/agent-reinforcement-learning-apache-spark/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=Reinforcement+Learning-articles Hina Gandhi 2026-01-30T09:00:00Z /articles/agent-reinforcement-learning-apache-spark/en
