I have three Arrays of string type containing following information:
- groupBy array: containing names of the columns I want to group my data by.
- aggregate array: containing names of columns I want to aggregate.
- operations array: containing the aggregate operations I want to perform
I am trying to use spark data frames to achieve this. Spark data frames provide an agg() where you can pass a Map [String,String] (of column name and respective aggregate operation ) as input, however I want to perform different aggregation operations on the same column of the data. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Scala:
You can for example map over a list of functions with a defined mapping
from name to function:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.{col, min, max, mean}
import org.apache.spark.sql.Column
val df = Seq((1L, 3.0), (1L, 3.0), (2L, -5.0)).toDF("k", "v")
val mapping: Map[String, Column => Column] = Map(
"min" -> min, "max" -> max, "mean" -> avg)
val groupBy = Seq("k")
val aggregate = Seq("v")
val operations = Seq("min", "max", "mean")
val exprs = aggregate.flatMap(c => operations .map(f => mapping(f)(col(c))))
df.groupBy(groupBy.map(col): _*).agg(exprs.head, exprs.tail: _*).show
// +---+------+------+------+
// | k|min(v)|max(v)|avg(v)|
// +---+------+------+------+
// | 1| 3.0| 3.0| 3.0|
// | 2| -5.0| -5.0| -5.0|
// +---+------+------+------+
or
df.groupBy(groupBy.head, groupBy.tail: _*).agg(exprs.head, exprs.tail: _*).show
Unfortunately parser which is used internally SQLContext
is not exposed publicly but you can always try to build plain SQL queries:
df.registerTempTable("df")
val groupExprs = groupBy.mkString(",")
val aggExprs = aggregate.flatMap(c => operations.map(
f => s"$f($c) AS ${c}_${f}")
).mkString(",")
sqlContext.sql(s"SELECT $groupExprs, $aggExprs FROM df GROUP BY $groupExprs")
Python:
from pyspark.sql.functions import mean, sum, max, col
df = sc.parallelize([(1, 3.0), (1, 3.0), (2, -5.0)]).toDF(["k", "v"])
groupBy = ["k"]
aggregate = ["v"]
funs = [mean, sum, max]
exprs = [f(col(c)) for f in funs for c in aggregate]
# or equivalent df.groupby(groupBy).agg(*exprs)
df.groupby(*groupBy).agg(*exprs)

For those that wonder, how @zero323 answer can be written without a list comprehension in python:
from pyspark.sql.functions import min, max, col
# init your spark dataframe
expr = [min(col("valueName")),max(col("valueName"))]
df.groupBy("keyName").agg(*expr)
case class soExample(firstName: String, lastName: String, Amount: Int)
val df = Seq(soExample("me", "zack", 100)).toDF
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
val groupped = df.groupBy("firstName", "lastName").agg(
sum("Amount"),
mean("Amount"),
stddev("Amount"),
count(lit(1)).alias("numOfRecords")
).toDF()
display(groupped)
