Arguments

x

Column to compute on. In window, it must be a time Column of TimestampType. This is not used with current_date and current_timestamp

format

The format for the given dates or timestamps in Column x. See the format used in the following methods:

  • to_date and to_timestamp: it is the string to use to parse Column x to DateType or TimestampType.

  • trunc: it is the string to use to specify the truncation method. 'year', 'yyyy', 'yy' to truncate by year, or 'month', 'mon', 'mm' to truncate by month Other options are: 'week', 'quarter'

  • date_trunc: it is similar with trunc's but additionally supports 'day', 'dd' to truncate by day, 'microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second', 'minute' and 'hour'

...

additional argument(s).

y

Column to compute on.

z

Column to compute on.

windowDuration

a string specifying the width of the window, e.g. '1 second', '1 day 12 hours', '2 minutes'. Valid interval strings are 'week', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second', 'millisecond', 'microsecond'. Note that the duration is a fixed length of time, and does not vary over time according to a calendar. For example, '1 day' always means 86,400,000 milliseconds, not a calendar day.

slideDuration

a string specifying the sliding interval of the window. Same format as windowDuration. A new window will be generated every slideDuration. Must be less than or equal to the windowDuration. This duration is likewise absolute, and does not vary according to a calendar.

startTime

the offset with respect to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC with which to start window intervals. For example, in order to have hourly tumbling windows that start 15 minutes past the hour, e.g. 12:15-13:15, 13:15-14:15... provide startTime as "15 minutes".

Details

dayofmonth: Extracts the day of the month as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

dayofweek: Extracts the day of the week as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string. Ranges from 1 for a Sunday through to 7 for a Saturday

dayofyear: Extracts the day of the year as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

monthname: Extracts the three-letter abbreviated month name from a given date/timestamp/string.

dayname: Extracts the three-letter abbreviated day name from a given date/timestamp/string.

hour: Extracts the hour as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

last_day: Given a date column, returns the last day of the month which the given date belongs to. For example, input "2015-07-27" returns "2015-07-31" since July 31 is the last day of the month in July 2015.

make_date: Create date from year, month and day fields.

minute: Extracts the minute as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

month: Extracts the month as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

quarter: Extracts the quarter as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

second: Extracts the second as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

to_date: Converts the column into a DateType. You may optionally specify a format according to the rules in: Datetime Pattern If the string cannot be parsed according to the specified format (or default), the value of the column will be null. By default, it follows casting rules to a DateType if the format is omitted (equivalent to cast(df$x, "date")).

to_timestamp: Converts the column into a TimestampType. You may optionally specify a format according to the rules in: Datetime Pattern If the string cannot be parsed according to the specified format (or default), the value of the column will be null. By default, it follows casting rules to a TimestampType if the format is omitted (equivalent to cast(df$x, "timestamp")).

weekofyear: Extracts the week number as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string. A week is considered to start on a Monday and week 1 is the first week with more than 3 days, as defined by ISO 8601

year: Extracts the year as an integer from a given date/timestamp/string.

from_unixtime: Converts the number of seconds from unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) to a string representing the timestamp of that moment in the current system time zone in the JVM in the given format. See Datetime Pattern for available options.

window: Bucketizes rows into one or more time windows given a timestamp specifying column. Window starts are inclusive but the window ends are exclusive, e.g. 12:05 will be in the window [12:05,12:10) but not in [12:00,12:05). Windows can support microsecond precision. Windows in the order of months are not supported. It returns an output column of struct called 'window' by default with the nested columns 'start' and 'end'

unix_timestamp: Gets current Unix timestamp in seconds.

trunc: Returns date truncated to the unit specified by the format.

date_trunc: Returns timestamp truncated to the unit specified by the format.

current_date: Returns the current date at the start of query evaluation as a date column. All calls of current_date within the same query return the same value.

current_timestamp: Returns the current timestamp at the start of query evaluation as a timestamp column. All calls of current_timestamp within the same query return the same value.

timestamp_seconds: Converts the number of seconds from the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z) to a timestamp.
