PySpark split and explode example

This code snippet shows you how to define a function to split a string column to an array of strings using Python built-in split function. It then explodes the array element from the split into using PySpark built-in explode function. Sample output `` +----------+-----------------+--------------------+-----+ | category| users| users_array| user| +----------+-----------------+--------------------+-----+ |Category A|user1,user2,user3|[user1, user2, us...|user1| |Category A|user1,user2,user3|[user1, user2, us...|user2| |Category A|user1,user2,user3|[user1, user2, us...|user3| |Category B| user3,user4| [user3, user4]|user3| |Category B| user3,user4| [user3, user4]|user4| +----------+-----------------+--------------------+-----+ ``

Use sort() and orderBy() with PySpark DataFrame

In Spark DataFrame, two APIs are provided to sort the rows in a DataFrame based on the provided column or columns: sort and orderBy. orderBy is just the alias for sort API. Syntax `` DataFrame.sort(cols, *kwargs) ` For *cols, we can used it to specify a column name, a Column object (pyspark.sql.Column), or a list of column names or Column objects. For kwargs, we can use it to specify additional arguments. For PySpark, we can specify a parameter named ascending. By default the value is True. It can be a list of boolean values for each columns that are used to sort the records. The code snippet provides the examples of sorting a DataFrame. Sample outputs ` +---+----+ | id|col1| +---+----+ | 2| E| | 4| E| | 6| E| | 8| E| | 1| O| | 3| O| | 5| O| | 7| O| | 9| O| +---+----+ +---+----+ | id|col1| +---+----+ | 2| E| | 4| E| | 6| E| | 8| E| | 1| O| | 3| O| | 5| O| | 7| O| | 9| O| +---+----+ +---+----+ | id|col1| +---+----+ | 8| E| | 6| E| | 4| E| | 2| E| | 9| O| | 7| O| | 5| O| | 3| O| | 1| O| +---+----+ ``

Time Travel with Delta Table in PySpark

Delta Lake provides time travel functionalities to retrieve data at certain point of time or at certain version. This can be done easily using the following two options when reading from delta table as DataFrame: versionAsOf - an integer value to specify a version. timestampAsOf - A timestamp or date string. This code snippet shows you how to use them in Spark DataFrameReader APIs. It includes three examples: Query data as version 1 Query data as 30 days ago (using computed value via Spark SQL) Query data as certain timestamp ('2022-09-01 12:00:00.999999UTC 10:00') You may encounter issues if the timestamp is earlier than the earlier commit: pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException: The provided timestamp (2022-08-03 00:00:00.0) is before the earliest version available to this table (2022-08-27 10:53:18.213). Please use a timestamp after 2022-08-27 10:53:18. Similarly, if the provided timestamp is later than the last commit, you may encounter another issue like the following: pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException: The provided timestamp: 2022-09-07 00:00:00.0 is after the latest commit timestamp of 2022-08-27 11:30:47.185. If you wish to query this version of the table, please either provide the version with "VERSION AS OF 1" or use the exact timestamp of the last commit: "TIMESTAMP AS OF '2022-08-27 11:30:47'".

Use expr() Function in PySpark DataFrame

Spark SQL function expr() can be used to evaluate a SQL expression and returns as a column (pyspark.sql.column.Column). Any operators or functions that can be used in Spark SQL can also be used with DataFrame operations. This code snippet provides an example of using expr() function directly with DataFrame. It also includes the snippet to derive a column without using this function. \* The code snippet assumes a SparkSession object already exists as 'spark'. Output: `` +---+-----+-----+ | id|idv1|idv2| +---+-----+-----+ | 1| 11| 11| | 2| 12| 12| | 3| 13| 13| | 4| 14| 14| | 5| 15| 15| | 6| 16| 16| | 7| 17| 17| | 8| 18| 18| | 9| 19| 19| +---+-----+-----+ ``

PySpark - Read Parquet Files in S3

This code snippet provides an example of reading parquet files located in S3 buckets on AWS (Amazon Web Services). The bucket used is from New York City taxi trip record data. S3 bucket location is: s3a://ursa-labs-taxi-data/2009/01/data.parquet. To run the script, we need to setup the package dependency on Hadoop AWS package, for example, org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:3.3.0. This can be easily done by passing configuration argument using spark-submit: `` spark-submit --conf spark.jars.packages=org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:3.3.0 ` This can also be done via SparkConf: ` conf.set('spark.jars.packages', 'org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:3.3.0') ` Use temporary AWS credentials In this code snippet, AWS AnonymousAWSCredentialsProvider is used. If the bucket is not public, we can also use TemporaryAWSCredentialsProvider. ` conf.set('spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.aws.credentials.provider', 'org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3a.TemporaryAWSCredentialsProvider') conf.set('spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.access.key', ) conf.set('spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.secret.key', ) conf.set('spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.session.token', ) `` If you have used AWS CLI or SAML tools to cache local credentials ( ~/.aws/credentials), you then don't need to specify the access keys assuming the credential has access to the S3 bucket you are reading data from.

Remove Special Characters from Column in PySpark DataFrame

Spark SQL function regexreplace can be used to remove special characters from a string column in Spark DataFrame. Depends on the definition of special characters, the regular expressions can vary. For instance, [^0-9a-zA-Z\-]+ can be used to match characters that are not alphanumeric or are not hyphen(-) or underscore(\_); regular expression '[@\+\#\$\%\^\!]+' can match these defined special characters. This code snippet replace special characters with empty string. Output: `` +---+--------------------------+ |id |str | +---+--------------------------+ |1 |ABCDEDF!@#$%%^123456qwerty| |2 |ABCDE!!! | +---+--------------------------+ +---+-------------------+ | id| replaced_str| +---+-------------------+ | 1|ABCDEDF123456qwerty| | 2| ABCDE| +---+-------------------+ ``

PySpark DataFrame - rank() and dense_rank() Functions

In Spark SQL, rank and denserank functions can be used to rank the rows within a window partition. In Spark SQL, we can use RANK(Spark SQL - RANK Window Function) and DENSE\RANK(Spark SQL - DENSE\RANK Window Function). This code snippet implements ranking directly using PySpark DataFrame APIs instead of Spark SQL. It created a window that partitions the data by TXN_DT attribute and sorts the records in each partition via AMT column in descending order. The frame boundary of the window is defined as unbounded preceding and current row. Output: `` +----+------+-------------------+----+----------+ |ACCT| AMT| TXNDT|rank|denserank| +----+------+-------------------+----+----------+ | 101|102.01|2021-01-01 00:00:00| 1| 1| | 102| 93.0|2021-01-01 00:00:00| 2| 2| | 101| 10.01|2021-01-01 00:00:00| 3| 3| | 103| 913.1|2021-01-02 00:00:00| 1| 1| | 101|900.56|2021-01-03 00:00:00| 1| 1| | 102|900.56|2021-01-03 00:00:00| 1| 1| | 103| 80.0|2021-01-03 00:00:00| 3| 2| +----+------+-------------------+----+----------+ ` As printed out, the difference between dense_rank and rank `is that the former will not generate any gaps if the ranked values are the same for multiple rows.

PySpark DataFrame - union, unionAll and unionByName

PySpark DataFrame provides three methods to union data together: union, unionAll and unionByName. The first two are like Spark SQL UNION ALL clause which doesn't remove duplicates. unionAll is the alias for union. We can use distinct method to deduplicate. The third function will use column names to resolve columns instead of positions. unionByName can also be used to merge two DataFrames with different schemas. Syntax of unionByName `` DataFrame.unionByName(other, allowMissingColumns=False) ` If allowMissingColumns is specified as True, the missing columns in both DataFrame will be added with default value null. This parameter is only available from Spark 3.1.0. For lower versions, the follow error may appear: df1.unionByName(df4, allowMissingColumns=True).show(truncate=False) TypeError: unionByName() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allowMissingColumns' Outputs The following are the outputs from the code snippet. ` +---+---+---+ |c1 |c2 |c3 | +---+---+---+ |1 |A |100| |2 |B |200| +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ |c1 |c2 |c3 | +---+---+---+ |1 |A |100| |1 |A |100| |2 |B |200| +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ |c1 |c2 |c3 | +---+---+---+ |1 |A |100| |2 |B |200| +---+---+---+ +---+---+----+----+ |c1 |c2 |c3 |c4 | +---+---+----+----+ |1 |A |100 |null| |3 |C |null|ABC | +---+---+----+----+ ``
