Select

Description

Selects a set of columns with names or Column expressions.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame'
x$name

## S4 replacement method for signature 'SparkDataFrame'
x$name <- value

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,character'
select(x, col, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,Column'
select(x, col, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,list'
select(x, col)

select(x, col, ...)

Arguments

x

a SparkDataFrame.

name

name of a Column (without being wrapped by "").

value

a Column or NULL. If NULL, the specified Column is dropped.

col

a list of columns or single Column or name.

...

additional column(s) if only one column is specified in col. If more than one column is assigned in col, ... should be left empty.

Value

A new SparkDataFrame with selected columns.

$<- since 1.4.0

select(SparkDataFrame, character) since 1.4.0

select(SparkDataFrame, Column) since 1.4.0
