object functions

Commonly used functions available for DataFrame operations. Using functions defined here provides a little bit more compile-time safety to make sure the function exists.

You can call the functions defined here by two ways: _FUNC_(...) and functions.expr("_FUNC_(...)").

As an example, regr_count is a function that is defined here. You can use regr_count(col("yCol", col("xCol"))) to invoke the regr_count function. This way the programming language's compiler ensures regr_count exists and is of the proper form. You can also use expr("regr_count(yCol, xCol)") function to invoke the same function. In this case, Spark itself will ensure regr_count exists when it analyzes the query.

You can find the entire list of functions at SQL API documentation of your Spark version, see also the latest list

This function APIs usually have methods with Column signature only because it can support not only Column but also other types such as a native string. The other variants currently exist for historical reasons.

    Window function: returns the rank of rows within a window partition, without any gaps.

    Aggregate function: computes a histogram on numeric 'expr' using nb bins.

    Aggregate function: computes a histogram on numeric 'expr' using nb bins. The return value is an array of (x,y) pairs representing the centers of the histogram's bins. As the value of 'nb' is increased, the histogram approximation gets finer-grained, but may yield artifacts around outliers. In practice, 20-40 histogram bins appear to work well, with more bins being required for skewed or smaller datasets. Note that this function creates a histogram with non-uniform bin widths. It offers no guarantees in terms of the mean-squared-error of the histogram, but in practice is comparable to the histograms produced by the R/S-Plus statistical computing packages. Note: the output type of the 'x' field in the return value is propagated from the input value consumed in the aggregate function.

    A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

    A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

    The generated ID is guaranteed to be monotonically increasing and unique, but not consecutive. The current implementation puts the partition ID in the upper 31 bits, and the record number within each partition in the lower 33 bits. The assumption is that the data frame has less than 1 billion partitions, and each partition has less than 8 billion records.

    As an example, consider a DataFrame with two partitions, each with 3 records. This expression would return the following IDs:

    0, 1, 2, 8589934592 (1L << 33), 8589934593, 8589934594.

    Generates session window given a timestamp specifying column.

    Session window is one of dynamic windows, which means the length of window is varying according to the given inputs. For static gap duration, the length of session window is defined as "the timestamp of latest input of the session + gap duration", so when the new inputs are bound to the current session window, the end time of session window can be expanded according to the new inputs.

    Besides a static gap duration value, users can also provide an expression to specify gap duration dynamically based on the input row. With dynamic gap duration, the closing of a session window does not depend on the latest input anymore. A session window's range is the union of all events' ranges which are determined by event start time and evaluated gap duration during the query execution. Note that the rows with negative or zero gap duration will be filtered out from the aggregation.

  730. def to_char(e: Column, format: Column): Column

    Convert e to a string based on the format.

    Convert e to a string based on the format. Throws an exception if the conversion fails. The format can consist of the following characters, case insensitive: '0' or '9': Specifies an expected digit between 0 and 9. A sequence of 0 or 9 in the format string matches a sequence of digits in the input value, generating a result string of the same length as the corresponding sequence in the format string. The result string is left-padded with zeros if the 0/9 sequence comprises more digits than the matching part of the decimal value, starts with 0, and is before the decimal point. Otherwise, it is padded with spaces. '.' or 'D': Specifies the position of the decimal point (optional, only allowed once). ',' or 'G': Specifies the position of the grouping (thousands) separator (,). There must be a 0 or 9 to the left and right of each grouping separator. '$': Specifies the location of the $ currency sign. This character may only be specified once.

Note that 'S' prints '+' for positive values but 'MI' prints a space. 'PR': Only allowed at the end of the format string; specifies that the result string will be wrapped by angle brackets if the input value is negative.

    If e is a datetime, format shall be a valid datetime pattern, see <a href="https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-ref-datetime-pattern.html">Datetime Patterns.

  8. def monotonicallyIncreasingId(): Column

    A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

    A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

    The generated ID is guaranteed to be monotonically increasing and unique, but not consecutive. The current implementation puts the partition ID in the upper 31 bits, and the record number within each partition in the lower 33 bits. The assumption is that the data frame has less than 1 billion partitions, and each partition has less than 8 billion records.

    As an example, consider a DataFrame with two partitions, each with 3 records. This expression would return the following IDs:

    0, 1, 2, 8589934592 (1L << 33), 8589934593, 8589934594.

  18. def udf(f: AnyRef, dataType: DataType): UserDefinedFunction

    Defines a deterministic user-defined function (UDF) using a Scala closure.

    Defines a deterministic user-defined function (UDF) using a Scala closure. For this variant, the caller must specify the output data type, and there is no automatic input type coercion. By default the returned UDF is deterministic. To change it to nondeterministic, call the API UserDefinedFunction.asNondeterministic().

    Note that, although the Scala closure can have primitive-type function argument, it doesn't work well with null values. Because the Scala closure is passed in as Any type, there is no type information for the function arguments. Without the type information, Spark may blindly pass null to the Scala closure with primitive-type argument, and the closure will see the default value of the Java type for the null argument, e.g. udf((x: Int) => x, IntegerType), the result is 0 for null input.

    f

    A closure in Scala

    dataType

    The output data type of the UDF
