pyspark.sql.functions.array_insert¶

pyspark.sql.functions.array_insert(arr: ColumnOrName, pos: Union[ColumnOrName, int], value: Any) → pyspark.sql.column.Column[source]¶

Collection function: adds an item into a given array at a specified array index. Array indices start at 1, or start from the end if index is negative. Index above array size appends the array, or prepends the array if index is negative, with ‘null’ elements.

New in version 3.4.0.

Parameters

arrColumn or str: name of column containing an array
posColumn or str or int: name of Numeric type column indicating position of insertion (starting at index 1, negative position is a start from the back of the array)
value :: a literal value, or a Column expression.

Returns

Column: an array of values, including the new specified value

Notes

Supports Spark Connect.

Examples

>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(
...     [(['a', 'b', 'c'], 2, 'd'), (['c', 'b', 'a'], -2, 'd')],
...     ['data', 'pos', 'val']
... )
>>> df.select(array_insert(df.data, df.pos.cast('integer'), df.val).alias('data')).collect()
[Row(data=['a', 'd', 'b', 'c']), Row(data=['c', 'b', 'd', 'a'])]
>>> df.select(array_insert(df.data, 5, 'hello').alias('data')).collect()
[Row(data=['a', 'b', 'c', None, 'hello']), Row(data=['c', 'b', 'a', None, 'hello'])]
