pyspark.ml.connect.functions.vector_to_array#

pyspark.ml.connect.functions.vector_to_array(col, dtype='float64')[source]#

Converts a column of MLlib sparse/dense vectors into a column of dense arrays.

New in version 3.0.0.

Changed in version 3.5.0: Supports Spark Connect.

Parameters

colpyspark.sql.Column or str: Input column
dtypestr, optional: The data type of the output array. Valid values: “float64” or “float32”.

Returns

pyspark.sql.Column: The converted column of dense arrays.

Examples

>>> from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors
>>> from pyspark.ml.functions import vector_to_array
>>> from pyspark.mllib.linalg import Vectors as OldVectors
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([
...     (Vectors.dense(1.0, 2.0, 3.0), OldVectors.dense(10.0, 20.0, 30.0)),
...     (Vectors.sparse(3, [(0, 2.0), (2, 3.0)]),
...      OldVectors.sparse(3, [(0, 20.0), (2, 30.0)]))],
...     ["vec", "oldVec"])
>>> df1 = df.select(vector_to_array("vec").alias("vec"),
...                 vector_to_array("oldVec").alias("oldVec"))
>>> df1.collect()
[Row(vec=[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], oldVec=[10.0, 20.0, 30.0]),
 Row(vec=[2.0, 0.0, 3.0], oldVec=[20.0, 0.0, 30.0])]
>>> df2 = df.select(vector_to_array("vec", "float32").alias("vec"),
...                 vector_to_array("oldVec", "float32").alias("oldVec"))
>>> df2.collect()
[Row(vec=[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], oldVec=[10.0, 20.0, 30.0]),
 Row(vec=[2.0, 0.0, 3.0], oldVec=[20.0, 0.0, 30.0])]
>>> df1.schema.fields
[StructField('vec', ArrayType(DoubleType(), False), False),
 StructField('oldVec', ArrayType(DoubleType(), False), False)]
>>> df2.schema.fields
[StructField('vec', ArrayType(FloatType(), False), False),
