pyspark: Create MapType Column from existing colum

问题:

I need to creeate an new Spark DF MapType Column based on the existing columns where column name is the key and the value is the value.

As Example - i've this DF:

rdd = sc.parallelize([('123k', 1.3, 6.3, 7.6),
                      ('d23d', 1.5, 2.0, 2.2), 
                      ('as3d', 2.2, 4.3, 9.0)
                          ])
schema = StructType([StructField('key', StringType(), True),
                     StructField('metric1', FloatType(), True),
                     StructField('metric2', FloatType(), True),
                     StructField('metric3', FloatType(), True)])
df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(rdd, schema)

+----+-------+-------+-------+
| key|metric1|metric2|metric3|
+----+-------+-------+-------+
|123k|    1.3|    6.3|    7.6|
|d23d|    1.5|    2.0|    2.2|
|as3d|    2.2|    4.3|    9.0|
+----+-------+-------+-------+

I'm already so far that i can create a structType from this:

nameCol = struct([name for name in df.columns if ("metric" in name)]).alias("metric")
df2 = df.select("key", nameCol)

+----+-------------+
| key|       metric|
+----+-------------+
|123k|[1.3,6.3,7.6]|
|d23d|[1.5,2.0,2.2]|
|as3d|[2.2,4.3,9.0]|
+----+-------------+

But what i need is an metric column with am MapType where the key is the column name:

+----+-------------------------+
| key|                   metric|
+----+-------------------------+
|123k|Map(metric1 -> 1.3, me...|
|d23d|Map(metric1 -> 1.5, me...|
|as3d|Map(metric1 -> 2.2, me...|
+----+-------------------------+

Any hints how i can transform the data?

Thanks!

In Spark 2.0 or later you can use create_map. First some imports:

from pyspark.sql.functions import lit, col, create_map
from itertools import chain

create_map expects an interleaved sequence of keys and values which can be created for example like this:

metric = create_map(list(chain(*(
    (lit(name), col(name)) for name in df.columns if "metric" in name
)))).alias("metric")

and used with select:

df.select("key", metric)

With example data the result is:

+----+---------------------------------------------------------+
|key |metric                                                   |
+----+---------------------------------------------------------+
|123k|Map(metric1 -> 1.3, metric2 -> 6.3, metric3 -> 7.6)      |
|d23d|Map(metric1 -> 1.5, metric2 -> 2.0, metric3 -> 2.2)      |
|as3d|Map(metric1 -> 2.2, metric2 -> 4.3, metric3 -> 9.0)      |
+----+---------------------------------------------------------+

If you use an earlier version of Spark you'll have to use UDF:

from pyspark.sql import Column
from pyspark.sql.functions import struct
from pyspark.sql.types import DataType, DoubleType, StringType, MapType

def as_map(*cols: str, key_type: DataType=DoubleType()) -> Column:
    args = [struct(lit(name), col(name)) for name in cols]
    as_map_ = udf(
        lambda *args: dict(args),
        MapType(StringType(), key_type)
    )
    return as_map_(*args)

which could be used as follows:

df.select("key", 
    as_map(*[name for name in df.columns if "metric" in name]).alias("metric"))
