  6. def csv(paths: String*): DataFrame

    Loads CSV files and returns the result as a DataFrame.

    Loads CSV files and returns the result as a DataFrame.

    This function will go through the input once to determine the input schema if inferSchema is enabled. To avoid going through the entire data once, disable inferSchema option or specify the schema explicitly using schema.

    You can set the following CSV-specific options to deal with CSV files:

    • sep (default ,): sets a separator for each field and value. This separator can be one or more characters.
    • encoding (default UTF-8): decodes the CSV files by the given encoding type.
    • quote (default "): sets a single character used for escaping quoted values where the separator can be part of the value. If you would like to turn off quotations, you need to set not null but an empty string. This behaviour is different from com.databricks.spark.csv.
    • escape (default \): sets a single character used for escaping quotes inside an already quoted value.
    • charToEscapeQuoteEscaping (default escape or \0): sets a single character used for escaping the escape for the quote character. The default value is escape character when escape and quote characters are different, \0 otherwise.
    • comment (default empty string): sets a single character used for skipping lines beginning with this character. By default, it is disabled.
    • header (default false): uses the first line as names of columns.
    • enforceSchema (default true): If it is set to true, the specified or inferred schema will be forcibly applied to datasource files, and headers in CSV files will be ignored. If the option is set to false, the schema will be validated against all headers in CSV files in the case when the header option is set to true. Field names in the schema and column names in CSV headers are checked by their positions taking into account spark.sql.caseSensitive. Though the default value is true, it is recommended to disable the enforceSchema option to avoid incorrect results.
    • inferSchema (default false): infers the input schema automatically from data. It requires one extra pass over the data.
    • samplingRatio (default is 1.0): defines fraction of rows used for schema inferring.
    • ignoreLeadingWhiteSpace (default false): a flag indicating whether or not leading whitespaces from values being read should be skipped.
    • ignoreTrailingWhiteSpace (default false): a flag indicating whether or not trailing whitespaces from values being read should be skipped.
    • nullValue (default empty string): sets the string representation of a null value. Since 2.0.1, this applies to all supported types including the string type.
    • emptyValue (default empty string): sets the string representation of an empty value.
    • nanValue (default NaN): sets the string representation of a non-number" value.
    • positiveInf (default Inf): sets the string representation of a positive infinity value.
    • negativeInf (default -Inf): sets the string representation of a negative infinity value.
    • dateFormat (default yyyy-MM-dd): sets the string that indicates a date format. Custom date formats follow the formats at Datetime Patterns. This applies to date type.
    • timestampFormat (default yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss[.SSS][XXX]): sets the string that indicates a timestamp format. Custom date formats follow the formats at Datetime Patterns. This applies to timestamp type.
    • maxColumns (default 20480): defines a hard limit of how many columns a record can have.
    • maxCharsPerColumn (default -1): defines the maximum number of characters allowed for any given value being read. By default, it is -1 meaning unlimited length
    • unescapedQuoteHandling (default STOP_AT_DELIMITER): defines how the CsvParser will handle values with unescaped quotes.
    • STOP_AT_CLOSING_QUOTE: If unescaped quotes are found in the input, accumulate the quote character and proceed parsing the value as a quoted value, until a closing quote is found.
    • BACK_TO_DELIMITER: If unescaped quotes are found in the input, consider the value as an unquoted value. This will make the parser accumulate all characters of the current parsed value until the delimiter is found. If no delimiter is found in the value, the parser will continue accumulating characters from the input until a delimiter or line ending is found.
    • STOP_AT_DELIMITER: If unescaped quotes are found in the input, consider the value as an unquoted value. This will make the parser accumulate all characters until the delimiter or a line ending is found in the input.
    • SKIP_VALUE: If unescaped quotes are found in the input, the content parsed for the given value will be skipped and the value set in nullValue will be produced instead.
    • RAISE_ERROR: If unescaped quotes are found in the input, a TextParsingException will be thrown.
    • mode (default PERMISSIVE): allows a mode for dealing with corrupt records during parsing. It supports the following case-insensitive modes. Note that Spark tries to parse only required columns in CSV under column pruning. Therefore, corrupt records can be different based on required set of fields. This behavior can be controlled by spark.sql.csv.parser.columnPruning.enabled (enabled by default).
    • PERMISSIVE : when it meets a corrupted record, puts the malformed string into a field configured by columnNameOfCorruptRecord, and sets malformed fields to null. To keep corrupt records, an user can set a string type field named columnNameOfCorruptRecord in an user-defined schema. If a schema does not have the field, it drops corrupt records during parsing. A record with less/more tokens than schema is not a corrupted record to CSV. When it meets a record having fewer tokens than the length of the schema, sets null to extra fields. When the record has more tokens than the length of the schema, it drops extra tokens.
    • DROPMALFORMED : ignores the whole corrupted records.
    • FAILFAST : throws an exception when it meets corrupted records.
    • columnNameOfCorruptRecord (default is the value specified in spark.sql.columnNameOfCorruptRecord): allows renaming the new field having malformed string created by PERMISSIVE mode. This overrides spark.sql.columnNameOfCorruptRecord.
    • multiLine (default false): parse one record, which may span multiple lines.
    • locale (default is en-US): sets a locale as language tag in IETF BCP 47 format. For instance, this is used while parsing dates and timestamps.
    • lineSep (default covers all \r, \r\n and \n): defines the line separator that should be used for parsing. Maximum length is 1 character.
    • pathGlobFilter: an optional glob pattern to only include files with paths matching the pattern. The syntax follows org.apache.hadoop.fs.GlobFilter. It does not change the behavior of partition discovery.
    • modifiedBefore (batch only): an optional timestamp to only include files with modification times occurring before the specified Time. The provided timestamp must be in the following form: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (e.g. 2020-06-01T13:00:00)
    • modifiedAfter (batch only): an optional timestamp to only include files with modification times occurring after the specified Time. The provided timestamp must be in the following form: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (e.g. 2020-06-01T13:00:00)
    • recursiveFileLookup: recursively scan a directory for files. Using this option disables partition discovery

  56. def table(tableName: String): DataFrame

    Returns the specified table/view as a DataFrame.

    Returns the specified table/view as a DataFrame. If it's a table, it must support batch reading and the returned DataFrame is the batch scan query plan of this table. If it's a view, the returned DataFrame is simply the query plan of the view, which can either be a batch or streaming query plan.

    tableName

    is either a qualified or unqualified name that designates a table or view. If a database is specified, it identifies the table/view from the database. Otherwise, it first attempts to find a temporary view with the given name and then match the table/view from the current database. Note that, the global temporary view database is also valid here.

  57. def text(paths: String*): DataFrame

    Loads text files and returns a DataFrame whose schema starts with a string column named "value", and followed by partitioned columns if there are any.

    Loads text files and returns a DataFrame whose schema starts with a string column named "value", and followed by partitioned columns if there are any. The text files must be encoded as UTF-8.

    By default, each line in the text files is a new row in the resulting DataFrame. For example:

    // Scala:
    spark.read.text("/path/to/spark/README.md")
    
    // Java:
    spark.read().text("/path/to/spark/README.md")

    You can set the following text-specific option(s) for reading text files:

    • wholetext (default false): If true, read a file as a single row and not split by "\n".
    • lineSep (default covers all \r, \r\n and \n): defines the line separator that should be used for parsing.
    • pathGlobFilter: an optional glob pattern to only include files with paths matching the pattern. The syntax follows org.apache.hadoop.fs.GlobFilter. It does not change the behavior of partition discovery.
    • modifiedBefore (batch only): an optional timestamp to only include files with modification times occurring before the specified Time. The provided timestamp must be in the following form: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (e.g. 2020-06-01T13:00:00)

  59. def textFile(paths: String*): Dataset[String]

    Loads text files and returns a Dataset of String.

    Loads text files and returns a Dataset of String. The underlying schema of the Dataset contains a single string column named "value". The text files must be encoded as UTF-8.

    If the directory structure of the text files contains partitioning information, those are ignored in the resulting Dataset. To include partitioning information as columns, use text.

    By default, each line in the text files is a new row in the resulting DataFrame. For example:

    // Scala:
    spark.read.textFile("/path/to/spark/README.md")
    
    // Java:
    spark.read().textFile("/path/to/spark/README.md")

    You can set the text-specific options as specified in DataFrameReader.text.
