I am new to spark, and I want to use group-by & reduce to find the following from CSV (one line by employed):
Department, Designation, costToCompany, State
Sales, Trainee, 12000, UP
Sales, Lead, 32000, AP
Sales, Lead, 32000, LA
Sales, Lead, 32000, TN
Sales, Lead, 32000, AP
Sales, Lead, 32000, TN
Sales, Lead, 32000, LA
Sales, Lead, 32000, LA
Marketing, Associate, 18000, TN
Marketing, Associate, 18000, TN
HR, Manager, 58000, TN
I would like to simplify the about CSV with group by Department, Designation, State with additional columns with sum(costToCompany) and TotalEmployeeCount
Should get a result like:
Dept, Desg, state, empCount, totalCost
Sales,Lead,AP,2,64000
Sales,Lead,LA,3,96000
Sales,Lead,TN,2,64000
Is there any way to achieve this using transformations and actions. Or should we go for RDD operations?
Procedure
Create a Class (Schema) to encapsulate your structure (it’s not required for the approach B, but it would make your code easier to read if you are using Java)
public class Record implements Serializable {
String department;
String designation;
long costToCompany;
String state;
// constructor , getters and setters
}
Loading CVS (JSON) file
JavaSparkContext sc;
JavaRDD<String> data = sc.textFile("path/input.csv");
//JavaSQLContext sqlContext = new JavaSQLContext(sc); // For previous versions
SQLContext sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc); // In Spark 1.3 the Java API and Scala API have been unified
JavaRDD<Record> rdd_records = sc.textFile(data).map(
new Function<String, Record>() {
public Record call(String line) throws Exception {
// Here you can use JSON
// Gson gson = new Gson();
// gson.fromJson(line, Record.class);
String[] fields = line.split(",");
Record sd = new Record(fields[0], fields[1], fields[2].trim(), fields[3]);
return sd;
}
});
At this point you have 2 approaches:
A. SparkSQL
Register a table (using the your defined Schema Class)
JavaSchemaRDD table = sqlContext.applySchema(rdd_records, Record.class);
table.registerAsTable("record_table");
table.printSchema();
Query the table with your desired Query-group-by
JavaSchemaRDD res = sqlContext.sql("
select department,designation,state,sum(costToCompany),count(*)
from record_table
group by department,designation,state
");
Here you would also be able to do any other query you desire, using a SQL approach
B. Spark
Mapping using a composite key: Department
,Designation
,State
JavaPairRDD<String, Tuple2<Long, Integer>> records_JPRDD =
rdd_records.mapToPair(new
PairFunction<Record, String, Tuple2<Long, Integer>>(){
public Tuple2<String, Tuple2<Long, Integer>> call(Record record){
Tuple2<String, Tuple2<Long, Integer>> t2 =
new Tuple2<String, Tuple2<Long,Integer>>(
record.Department + record.Designation + record.State,
new Tuple2<Long, Integer>(record.costToCompany,1)
);
return t2;
}
});
reduceByKey using the composite key, summing costToCompany
column, and accumulating the number of records by key
JavaPairRDD<String, Tuple2<Long, Integer>> final_rdd_records =
records_JPRDD.reduceByKey(new Function2<Tuple2<Long, Integer>, Tuple2<Long,
Integer>, Tuple2<Long, Integer>>() {
public Tuple2<Long, Integer> call(Tuple2<Long, Integer> v1,
Tuple2<Long, Integer> v2) throws Exception {
return new Tuple2<Long, Integer>(v1._1 + v2._1, v1._2+ v2._2);
}
});
CSV file can be parsed with Spark built-in CSV reader. It will return
DataFrame/DataSet on the successful read of the file. On top of
DataFrame/DataSet, you apply SQL-like operations easily.
Using Spark 2.x(and above) with Java
Create SparkSession object aka spark
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession;
SparkSession spark = SparkSession
.builder()
.appName("Java Spark SQL Example")
.getOrCreate();
Create Schema for Row with StructType
import org.apache.spark.sql.types.StructType;
StructType schema = new StructType()
.add("department", "string")
.add("designation", "string")
.add("ctc", "long")
.add("state", "string");
Create dataframe from CSV file and apply schema to it
Dataset<Row> df = spark.read()
.option("mode", "DROPMALFORMED")
.schema(schema)
.csv("hdfs://path/input.csv");
more option on reading data from CSV file
Now we can aggregation on data in 2 ways
1. SQL way
Register a table in spark sql metastore to perform SQL operation
df.createOrReplaceTempView("employee");
Run SQL query on registered dataframe
Dataset<Row> sqlResult = spark.sql(
"SELECT department, designation, state, SUM(ctc), COUNT(department)"
+ " FROM employee GROUP BY department, designation, state");
sqlResult.show(); //for testing
We can even execute SQL directly on CSV file with out creating table with Spark SQL
2. Object chaining or Programming or Java-like way
Do the necessary import for sql functions
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.count;
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.sum;
Use groupBy
and agg
on dataframe/dataset to perform count
and
sum
on data
Dataset<Row> dfResult = df.groupBy("department", "designation", "state")
.agg(sum("ctc"), count("department"));
// After Spark 1.6 columns mentioned in group by will be added to result by default
dfResult.show();//for testing

The following might not be entirely correct, but it should give you some idea of how to juggle data. It's not pretty, should be replaced with case classes etc, but as a quick example of how to use the spark api, I hope it's enough :)
val rawlines = sc.textfile("hdfs://.../*.csv")
case class Employee(dep: String, des: String, cost: Double, state: String)
val employees = rawlines
.map(_.split(",") /*or use a proper CSV parser*/
.map( Employee(row(0), row(1), row(2), row(3) )
# the 1 is the amount of employees (which is obviously 1 per line)
val keyVals = employees.map( em => (em.dep, em.des, em.state), (1 , em.cost))
val results = keyVals.reduceByKey{ a,b =>
(a._1 + b._1, b._1, b._2) # (a.count + b.count , a.cost + b.cost )
}
#debug output
results.take(100).foreach(println)
results
.map( keyval => someThingToFormatAsCsvStringOrWhatever )
.saveAsTextFile("hdfs://.../results")
Or you can use SparkSQL:
val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sparkContext)
# case classes can easily be registered as tables
employees.registerAsTable("employees")
val results = sqlContext.sql("""select dep, des, state, sum(cost), count(*)
from employees
group by dep,des,state"""
For JSON, if your text file contains one JSON object per line, you can use sqlContext.jsonFile(path)
to let Spark SQL load it as a SchemaRDD
(the schema will be automatically inferred). Then, you can register it as a table and query it with SQL. You can also manually load the text file as an RDD[String]
containing one JSON object per record and use sqlContext.jsonRDD(rdd)
to turn it as a SchemaRDD
. jsonRDD
is useful when you need to pre-process your data.
