class Dataset[T] extends Serializable

A Dataset is a strongly typed collection of domain-specific objects that can be transformed in parallel using functional or relational operations. Each Dataset also has an untyped view called a DataFrame, which is a Dataset of Row.

Operations available on Datasets are divided into transformations and actions. Transformations are the ones that produce new Datasets, and actions are the ones that trigger computation and return results. Example transformations include map, filter, select, and aggregate (groupBy). Example actions count, show, or writing data out to file systems.

Datasets are "lazy", i.e. computations are only triggered when an action is invoked. Internally, a Dataset represents a logical plan that describes the computation required to produce the data. When an action is invoked, Spark's query optimizer optimizes the logical plan and generates a physical plan for efficient execution in a parallel and distributed manner. To explore the logical plan as well as optimized physical plan, use the explain function.

To efficiently support domain-specific objects, an Encoder is required. The encoder maps the domain specific type T to Spark's internal type system. For example, given a class Person with two fields, name (string) and age (int), an encoder is used to tell Spark to generate code at runtime to serialize the Person object into a binary structure. This binary structure often has much lower memory footprint as well as are optimized for efficiency in data processing (e.g. in a columnar format). To understand the internal binary representation for data, use the schema function.

There are typically two ways to create a Dataset. The most common way is by pointing Spark to some files on storage systems, using the read function available on a SparkSession.

val people = spark.read.parquet("...").as[Person]  // Scala
Dataset<Person> people = spark.read().parquet("...").as(Encoders.bean(Person.class)); // Java

Datasets can also be created through transformations available on existing Datasets. For example, the following creates a new Dataset by applying a filter on the existing one:

val names = people.map(_.name)  // in Scala; names is a Dataset[String]
Dataset<String> names = people.map((Person p) -> p.name, Encoders.STRING));

Dataset operations can also be untyped, through various domain-specific-language (DSL) functions defined in: Dataset (this class), Column, and functions. These operations are very similar to the operations available in the data frame abstraction in R or Python.

To select a column from the Dataset, use apply method in Scala and col in Java.

val ageCol = people("age")  // in Scala
Column ageCol = people.col("age"); // in Java

Note that the Column type can also be manipulated through its various functions.

// The following creates a new column that increases everybody's age by 10.
people("age") + 10  // in Scala
people.col("age").plus(10);  // in Java

A more concrete example in Scala:

// To create Dataset[Row] using SparkSession
val people = spark.read.parquet("...")
val department = spark.read.parquet("...")

people.filter("age > 30")
  .join(department, people("deptId") === department("id"))
  .groupBy(department("name"), people("gender"))
  .agg(avg(people("salary")), max(people("age")))

and in Java:

// To create Dataset using SparkSession
Dataset<Row> people = spark.read().parquet("...");
Dataset<Row> department = spark.read().parquet("...");

people.filter(people.col("age").gt(30))
  .join(department, people.col("deptId").equalTo(department.col("id")))
  .groupBy(department.col("name"), people.col("gender"))
  .agg(avg(people.col("salary")), max(people.col("age")));

    :: Experimental :: Returns a new Dataset where each record has been mapped on to the specified type. The method used to map columns depend on the type of U:

    • When U is a class, fields for the class will be mapped to columns of the same name (case sensitivity is determined by spark.sql.caseSensitive).
    • When U is a tuple, the columns will be mapped by ordinal (i.e. the first column will be assigned to _1).
    • When U is a primitive type (i.e. String, Int, etc), then the first column of the DataFrame will be used.

    If the schema of the Dataset does not match the desired U type, you can use select along with alias or as to rearrange or rename as required.

    Returns a new Dataset that has exactly numPartitions partitions, when the fewer partitions are requested.

    Returns a new Dataset that has exactly numPartitions partitions, when the fewer partitions are requested. If a larger number of partitions is requested, it will stay at the current number of partitions. Similar to coalesce defined on an RDD, this operation results in a narrow dependency, e.g. if you go from 1000 partitions to 100 partitions, there will not be a shuffle, instead each of the 100 new partitions will claim 10 of the current partitions.

    However, if you're doing a drastic coalesce, e.g. to numPartitions = 1, this may result in your computation taking place on fewer nodes than you like (e.g. one node in the case of numPartitions = 1). To avoid this, you can call repartition. This will add a shuffle step, but means the current upstream partitions will be executed in parallel (per whatever the current partitioning is).

    :: Experimental :: Joins this Dataset returning a Tuple2 for each pair where condition evaluates to true.

    This is similar to the relation join function with one important difference in the result schema. Since joinWith preserves objects present on either side of the join, the result schema is similarly nested into a tuple under the column names _1 and _2.

    This type of join can be useful both for preserving type-safety with the original object types as well as working with relational data where either side of the join has column names in common.

    Permalink

    :: Experimental :: Defines an event time watermark for this Dataset.

    :: Experimental :: Defines an event time watermark for this Dataset. A watermark tracks a point in time before which we assume no more late data is going to arrive.

    Spark will use this watermark for several purposes:

    • To know when a given time window aggregation can be finalized and thus can be emitted when using output modes that do not allow updates.
    • To minimize the amount of state that we need to keep for on-going aggregations, mapGroupsWithState and dropDuplicates operators.

    The current watermark is computed by looking at the MAX(eventTime) seen across all of the partitions in the query minus a user specified delayThreshold. Due to the cost of coordinating this value across partitions, the actual watermark used is only guaranteed to be at least delayThreshold behind the actual event time. In some cases we may still process records that arrive more than delayThreshold late.

    eventTime

    the name of the column that contains the event time of the row.

    delayThreshold

    the minimum delay to wait to data to arrive late, relative to the latest record that has been processed in the form of an interval (e.g. "1 minute" or "5 hours"). NOTE: This should not be negative.
