Now I have 300+ columns in my RDD, but I found there is a need to dynamically select a range of columns and put them into LabledPoints data type. As a newbie to Spark, I am wondering if there is any index way to select a range of columns in RDD. Something like temp_data = data[, 101:211] in R. Is there something like val temp_data = data.filter(_.column_index in range(101:211)...?
Any thought is welcomed and appreciated.
If it is a DataFrame, then something like this should work:
val df = rdd.toDF
df.select(df.columns.slice(101,211) : _*)
Assuming you have an RDD of Array or any other scala collection (e.g., List). You can do something like this:
val data: RDD[Array[Int]] = sc.parallelize(Array(Array(1,2,3), Array(4,5,6)))
val sliced: RDD[Array[Int]] = data.map(_.slice(0,2))
sliced.collect()
> Array[Array[Int]] = Array(Array(1, 2), Array(4, 5))
Kind of old thread, but I recently had to do something similar and search around. I needed to select all but the last column where I had 200+ columns.
Spark 1.4.1
Scala 2.10.4
val df = hiveContext.sql("SELECT * FROM foobar")
val cols = df.columns.slice(0, df.columns.length - 1)
val new_df = df.select(cols.head, cols.tail:_*)

I'm trying to do a count in scala with dataframe. My data has 3 columns and I've already loaded the data and split by tab. So I want to do something like this:
val file = file.map(line=>line.split("\t"))
val x = file1.map(line=>(line(0), line(2).toInt)).reduceByKey(_+_,1)
I want to put the data in dataframe, and having some trouble on the syntax
val file = file.map(line=>line.split("\t")).toDF
val file.groupby(line(0))
.count()
Can someone help check if this is correct?
spark needs to know the schema of the df
there are many ways to specify the schema, here is one option:
val df = file
.map(line=>line.split("\t"))
.map(l => (l(0), l(1).toInt)) //at this point spark knows the number of columns and their types
.toDF("a", "b") //give the columns names for ease of use
df
.groupby('a)
.count()
Noodling around with Spark, using union to build up a suitably large test dataset. This works OK:
val df = spark.read.json("/opt/spark/examples/src/main/resources/people.json")
df.union(df).union(df).count()
But I'd like to do something like this:
val df = spark.read.json("/opt/spark/examples/src/main/resources/people.json")
for (a <- 1 until 10){
df = df.union(df)
}
that barfs with error
<console>:27: error: reassignment to val
df = df.union(df)
^
I know this technique would work using python, but this is my first time using scala so I'm unsure of the syntax.
How can I recursively union a dataframe with itself n times?
If you use val on the dataset it becomes an immutable variable. That means you can't do any reassignments. If you change your definition to var df your code should work.
A functional approach without mutable data is:
val df = List(1,2,3,4,5).toDF
val bigDf = ( for (a <- 1 until 10) yield df ) reduce (_ union _)
The for loop will create a IndexedSeq of the specified length containing your DataFrame and the reduce function will take the first DataFrame union it with the second and will start again using the result.
Even shorter without the for loop:
val df = List(1,2,3,4,5).toDF
val bigDf = 1 until 10 map (_ => df) reduce (_ union _)
You could also do this with tail recursion using an arbitrary range:
#tailrec
def bigUnion(rng: Range, df: DataFrame): DataFrame = {
if (rng.isEmpty) df
else bigUnion(rng.tail, df.union(df))
}
val resultingBigDF = bigUnion(1.to(10), myDataFrame)
Please note this is untested code based on a similar things I had done.
How do I select all the columns of a dataframe that has certain indexes in Scala?
For example if a dataframe has 100 columns and i want to extract only columns (10,12,13,14,15), how to do the same?
Below selects all columns from dataframe df which has the column name mentioned in the Array colNames:
df = df.select(colNames.head,colNames.tail: _*)
If there is similar, colNos array which has
colNos = Array(10,20,25,45)
How do I transform the above df.select to fetch only those columns at the specific indexes.
You can map over columns:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col
df.select(colNos map df.columns map col: _*)
or:
df.select(colNos map (df.columns andThen col): _*)
or:
df.select(colNos map (col _ compose df.columns): _*)
All the methods shown above are equivalent and don't impose performance penalty. Following mapping:
colNos map df.columns
is just a local Array access (constant time access for each index) and choosing between String or Column based variant of select doesn't affect the execution plan:
val df = Seq((1, 2, 3 ,4, 5, 6)).toDF
val colNos = Seq(0, 3, 5)
df.select(colNos map df.columns map col: _*).explain
== Physical Plan ==
LocalTableScan [_1#46, _4#49, _6#51]
df.select("_1", "_4", "_6").explain
== Physical Plan ==
LocalTableScan [_1#46, _4#49, _6#51]
#user6910411's answer above works like a charm and the number of tasks/logical plan is similar to my approach below. BUT my approach is a bit faster.
So,
I would suggest you to go with the column names rather than column numbers. Column names are much safer and much ligher than using numbers. You can use the following solution :
val colNames = Seq("col1", "col2" ...... "col99", "col100")
val selectColNames = Seq("col1", "col3", .... selected column names ... )
val selectCols = selectColNames.map(name => df.col(name))
df = df.select(selectCols:_*)
If you are hesitant to write all the 100 column names then there is a shortcut method too
val colNames = df.schema.fieldNames
Example: Grab first 14 columns of Spark Dataframe by Index using Scala.
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col
// Gives array of names by index (first 14 cols for example)
val sliceCols = df.columns.slice(0, 14)
// Maps names & selects columns in dataframe
val subset_df = df.select(sliceCols.map(name=>col(name)):_*)
You cannot simply do this (as I tried and failed):
// Gives array of names by index (first 14 cols for example)
val sliceCols = df.columns.slice(0, 14)
// Maps names & selects columns in dataframe
val subset_df = df.select(sliceCols)
The reason is that you have to convert your datatype of Array[String] to Array[org.apache.spark.sql.Column] in order for the slicing to work.
OR Wrap it in a function using Currying (high five to my colleague for this):
// Subsets Dataframe to using beg_val & end_val index.
def subset_frame(beg_val:Int=0, end_val:Int)(df: DataFrame): DataFrame = {
val sliceCols = df.columns.slice(beg_val, end_val)
return df.select(sliceCols.map(name => col(name)):_*)
}
// Get first 25 columns as subsetted dataframe
val subset_df:DataFrame = df_.transform(subset_frame(0, 25))
I loaded a csv as dataframe. I would like to cast all columns to float, knowing that the file is to big to write all columns names:
val spark = SparkSession.builder.master("local").appName("my-spark-app").getOrCreate()
val df = spark.read.option("header",true).option("inferSchema", "true").csv("C:/Users/mhattabi/Desktop/dataTest2.csv")
Given this DataFrame as example:
val df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(Seq(("0", 0),("1", 1),("2", 0))).toDF("id", "c0")
with schema:
StructType(
StructField(id,StringType,true),
StructField(c0,IntegerType,false))
You can loop over DF columns by .columns functions:
val castedDF = df.columns.foldLeft(df)((current, c) => current.withColumn(c, col(c).cast("float")))
So the new DF schema looks like:
StructType(
StructField(id,FloatType,true),
StructField(c0,FloatType,false))
EDIT:
If you wanna exclude some columns from casting, you could do something like (supposing we want to exclude the column id):
val exclude = Array("id")
val someCastedDF = (df.columns.toBuffer --= exclude).foldLeft(df)((current, c) =>
current.withColumn(c, col(c).cast("float")))
where exclude is an Array of all columns we want to exclude from casting.
So the schema of this new DF is:
StructType(
StructField(id,StringType,true),
StructField(c0,FloatType,false))
Please notice that maybe this is not the best solution to do it but it can be a starting point.
I have a Dataframe that I read from a CSV file with many columns like: timestamp, steps, heartrate etc.
I want to sum the values of each column, for instance the total number of steps on "steps" column.
As far as I see I want to use these kind of functions:
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.functions$
But I can understand how to use the function sum.
When I write the following:
val df = CSV.load(args(0))
val sumSteps = df.sum("steps")
the function sum cannot be resolved.
Do I use the function sum wrongly?
Do Ι need to use first the function map? and if yes how?
A simple example would be very helpful! I started writing Scala recently.
You must first import the functions:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
Then you can use them like this:
val df = CSV.load(args(0))
val sumSteps = df.agg(sum("steps")).first.get(0)
You can also cast the result if needed:
val sumSteps: Long = df.agg(sum("steps").cast("long")).first.getLong(0)
Edit:
For multiple columns (e.g. "col1", "col2", ...), you could get all aggregations at once:
val sums = df.agg(sum("col1").as("sum_col1"), sum("col2").as("sum_col2"), ...).first
Edit2:
For dynamically applying the aggregations, the following options are available:
Applying to all numeric columns at once:
df.groupBy().sum()
Applying to a list of numeric column names:
val columnNames = List("col1", "col2")
df.groupBy().sum(columnNames: _*)
Applying to a list of numeric column names with aliases and/or casts:
val cols = List("col1", "col2")
val sums = cols.map(colName => sum(colName).cast("double").as("sum_" + colName))
df.groupBy().agg(sums.head, sums.tail:_*).show()
If you want to sum all values of one column, it's more efficient to use DataFrame's internal RDD and reduce.
import sqlContext.implicits._
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
val df = sc.parallelize(Array(10,2,3,4)).toDF("steps")
df.select(col("steps")).rdd.map(_(0).asInstanceOf[Int]).reduce(_+_)
//res1 Int = 19
Simply apply aggregation function, Sum on your column
df.groupby('steps').sum().show()

Not sure this was around when this question was asked but:
df.describe().show("columnName")
gives mean, count, stdtev stats on a column. I think it returns on all columns if you just do .show()
Using spark sql query..just incase if it helps anyone!
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import java.util.stream.Collectors
val conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[2]").setAppName("test")
val spark = SparkSession.builder.config(conf).getOrCreate()
val df = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(Seq(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)).toDF()
df.createOrReplaceTempView("steps")
val sum = spark.sql("select sum(steps) as stepsSum from steps").map(row => row.getAs("stepsSum").asInstanceOf[Long]).collect()(0)
println("steps sum = " + sum) //prints 28
