Is Spark SQL UDAF (user defined aggregate function

2019-03-11 05:36发布

问题:

As of Spark 1.5.0 it seems possible to write your own UDAF's for custom aggregations on DataFrames: Spark 1.5 DataFrame API Highlights: Date/Time/String Handling, Time Intervals, and UDAFs

It is however unclear to me if this functionality is supported in the Python API?

You cannot defined Python UDAF in Spark 1.5.0-2.0.0. There is a JIRA tracking this feature request:

  • https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10915

resolved with goal "later" so it probably won't happen anytime soon.

You can use Scala UDAF from PySpark - it is described Spark: How to map Python with Scala or Java User Defined Functions?
