pyspark.pandas.Index#

class pyspark.pandas.Index(data=None, dtype=None, copy=False, name=None, tupleize_cols=True, **kwargs)[source]#

pandas-on-Spark Index that corresponds to pandas Index logically. This might hold Spark Column internally.

Parameters
dataarray-like (1-dimensional)
dtypedtype, default None

If dtype is None, we find the dtype that best fits the data. If an actual dtype is provided, we coerce to that dtype if it’s safe. Otherwise, an error will be raised.

copybool

Make a copy of input ndarray.

nameobject

Name to be stored in the index.

tupleize_colsbool (default: True)

When True, attempt to create a MultiIndex if possible.

MultiIndex

A multi-level, or hierarchical, Index.

DatetimeIndex

Index of datetime64 data.

Examples

>>> ps.DataFrame({'a': ['a', 'b', 'c']}, index=[1, 2, 3]).index
Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
>>> ps.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3]}, index=list('abc')).index
Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')
>>> ps.Index([1, 2, 3])
Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
>>> ps.Index(list('abc'))
Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')

From a Series:

>>> s = ps.Series([1, 2, 3], index=[10, 20, 30])
>>> ps.Index(s)
Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')

From an Index:

>>> idx = ps.Index([1, 2, 3])
>>> ps.Index(idx)
Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
