I am trying to figure out the most efficient way to accomplish putting this online csv file into a data frame in Scala.
To save a download, the csv file in the code looks like this:
"Symbol","Name","LastSale","MarketCap","ADR
TSO","IPOyear","Sector","Industry","Summary Quote"
"DDD","3D Systems Corporation","18.09","2058834640.41","n/a","n/a","Technology","Computer Software: Prepackaged Software","http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/ddd"
"MMM","3M Company","211.68","126423673447.68","n/a","n/a","Health Care","Medical/Dental Instruments","http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mmm"
....
From my research, I start by downloading the csv, and placing it into a list buffer (since you can't do this with a list because it's immutable):
import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
var stockInfoNYSE_ListBuffer = new ListBuffer[java.lang.String]()
import scala.io.Source
val bufferedSource =
Source.fromURL("http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-
industry.aspx?exchange=NYSE&render=download")
for (line <- bufferedSource.getLines) {
val cols = line.split(",").map(_.trim)
stockInfoNYSE_ListBuffer += s"${cols(0)},${cols(1)},${cols(2)},${cols(3)},${cols(4)},${cols(5)},${cols(6)},${cols(7)},${cols(8)}"
}
bufferedSource.close
val stockInfoNYSE_List = stockInfoNYSE_ListBuffer.toList
So we have a list. You can basically get each value like this:
// SYMBOL : stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(0)
// COMPANY NAME : stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(1)
// IPOYear : stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(5)
// Sector : stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(6)
// Industry : stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(7)
Here is where I get stuck- how do I get this to a dataframe? The wrong approaches I have taken. I didn't put all the values in just yet- was a simple test.
case class StockMap(Symbol: String, Name: String)
val caseClassDS = Seq(StockMap(stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(0),
StockMap(stockInfoNYSE_List(1).split(",")(1))).toDS()
caseClassDS.show()
The problem with the approach above: I can only figure out how to add one sequence (row) by hard coding it. I want every Row in the list.
My second failed attempt:
val sqlContext= new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
import sqlContext.implicits._
val test = stockInfoNYSE_List.toDF
This will just give you the array, and I want to divide up the values.
Array(["Symbol","Name","LastSale","MarketCap","ADR TSO","IPOyear","Sector","Industry","Summary Quote"], ["DDD","3D Systems Corporation","18.09","2058834640.41","n/a","n/a","Technology","Computer Software: Prepackaged Software","http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/ddd"], ["MMM","3M Company","211.68","126423673447.68","n/a","n/a","Health Care","Medical/Dental Instruments","http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mmm"],.......
