Counter function on a ArrayColumn Pyspark

From this data frame

+-----+-----------------+
|store|     values      |
+-----+-----------------+
|    1|[1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6]|
|    2|            [2,3]|
+-----+-----------------+

I would like to apply the Counter function to get this:

+-----+------------------------------+
|store|     values                   |
+-----+------------------------------+
|    1|{1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1}|
|    2|{2:1, 3:1}                    |
+-----+------------------------------+

I got this data frame using the answer of another question :

GroupBy and concat array columns pyspark

So I try to modify the code that is in the answers like this:

Option 1:

def flatten_counter(val):
    return Counter(reduce (lambda x, y:x+y, val))

udf_flatten_counter = sf.udf(flatten_counter,     ty.ArrayType(ty.IntegerType()))
df3 = df2.select("store", flatten_counter("values2").alias("values3"))
df3.show(truncate=False)

Option 2:

df.rdd.map(lambda r: (r.store, r.values)).reduceByKey(lambda x, y: x + y).map(lambda row: Counter(row[1])).toDF(['store', 'values']).show()

but it doesn't work.

Does anybody know how can I do it?

Thank you

You just have to provide correct data type

udf_flatten_counter = sf.udf(
    lambda x: dict(Counter(x)),
    ty.MapType(ty.IntegerType(), ty.IntegerType()))

df = spark.createDataFrame(
   [(1, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]), (2, [2, 3])], ("store", "values"))


df.withColumn("cnt", udf_flatten_counter("values")).show(2, False)
# +-----+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
# |store|values            |cnt                                                |
# +-----+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
# |1    |[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]|Map(5 -> 1, 1 -> 1, 6 -> 1, 2 -> 1, 3 -> 1, 4 -> 1)|
# |2    |[2, 3]            |Map(2 -> 1, 3 -> 1)                                |
# +-----+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

Similarly with RDD

df.rdd.mapValues(Counter).mapValues(dict).toDF(["store", "values"]).show(2, False)
# +-----+---------------------------------------------------+
# |store|values                                             |
# +-----+---------------------------------------------------+
# |1    |Map(5 -> 1, 1 -> 1, 6 -> 1, 2 -> 1, 3 -> 1, 4 -> 1)|
# |2    |Map(2 -> 1, 3 -> 1)                                |
# +-----+---------------------------------------------------+

Conversion to dict is necessary because apparently Pyrolite cannot handle Counter objects.
