# Apache Spark: broadcast joins

## When to use

Use this skill for broadcast joins in Apache Spark. This skill
specifically handles broadcast joins and nothing else in the
Apache Spark family.

## Procedure

Force/prevent broadcast joins with hints, set the broadcast threshold, and avoid shuffles when one side is small.

## Notes

This is the Apache Spark skill dedicated to broadcast joins.
Sibling skills cover other Apache Spark capabilities; this one
is the right choice only when the task is about broadcast joins.
