The `cacheTable` function in `pyspark.sql.HiveContext` is used to cache the contents of a table in memory. This can improve the performance of subsequent queries that reference the cached table, as the data is readily available in memory rather than being read from disk. Caching a table is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets or frequently accessed tables, as it reduces the amount of time needed to retrieve the data and improves overall query execution speed.
