public class functions extends Object
Commonly used functions available for DataFrame operations. Using functions defined here provides a little bit more compile-time safety to make sure the function exists.

You can call the functions defined here by two ways: _FUNC_(...) and functions.expr("_FUNC_(...)").

As an example, regr_count is a function that is defined here. You can use regr_count(col("yCol", col("xCol"))) to invoke the regr_count function. This way the programming language's compiler ensures regr_count exists and is of the proper form. You can also use expr("regr_count(yCol, xCol)") function to invoke the same function. In this case, Spark itself will ensure regr_count exists when it analyzes the query.

You can find the entire list of functions at SQL API documentation of your Spark version, see also the latest list

This function APIs usually have methods with Column signature only because it can support not only Column but also other types such as a native string. The other variants currently exist for historical reasons.

    • histogram_numeric

      public static Column histogram_numeric(Column e, Column nBins)
      Aggregate function: computes a histogram on numeric 'expr' using nb bins. The return value is an array of (x,y) pairs representing the centers of the histogram's bins. As the value of 'nb' is increased, the histogram approximation gets finer-grained, but may yield artifacts around outliers. In practice, 20-40 histogram bins appear to work well, with more bins being required for skewed or smaller datasets. Note that this function creates a histogram with non-uniform bin widths. It offers no guarantees in terms of the mean-squared-error of the histogram, but in practice is comparable to the histograms produced by the R/S-Plus statistical computing packages. Note: the output type of the 'x' field in the return value is propagated from the input value consumed in the aggregate function.

      Parameters:
      e - (undocumented)
      nBins - (undocumented)

    • dense_rank

      public static Column dense_rank()
      Window function: returns the rank of rows within a window partition, without any gaps.

      The difference between rank and dense_rank is that denseRank leaves no gaps in ranking sequence when there are ties. That is, if you were ranking a competition using dense_rank and had three people tie for second place, you would say that all three were in second place and that the next person came in third. Rank would give me sequential numbers, making the person that came in third place (after the ties) would register as coming in fifth.

      This is equivalent to the DENSE_RANK function in SQL.

      Window function: returns the relative rank (i.e. percentile) of rows within a window partition.

      This is computed by:

      
         (rank of row in its partition - 1) / (number of rows in the partition - 1)
       

      This is equivalent to the PERCENT_RANK function in SQL.

      Returns:
      (undocumented)

    • rank

      public static Column rank()
      Window function: returns the rank of rows within a window partition.

      The difference between rank and dense_rank is that dense_rank leaves no gaps in ranking sequence when there are ties. That is, if you were ranking a competition using dense_rank and had three people tie for second place, you would say that all three were in second place and that the next person came in third. Rank would give me sequential numbers, making the person that came in third place (after the ties) would register as coming in fifth.

      This is equivalent to the RANK function in SQL.

      public static Column monotonicallyIncreasingId()
      Deprecated.
      Use monotonically_increasing_id(). Since 2.0.0.
      A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

      The generated ID is guaranteed to be monotonically increasing and unique, but not consecutive.

The assumption is that the data frame has less than 1 billion partitions, and each partition has less than 8 billion records.

      As an example, consider a DataFrame with two partitions, each with 3 records. This expression would return the following IDs:

      
       0, 1, 2, 8589934592 (1L << 33), 8589934593, 8589934594.

      Returns an encrypted value of input using AES in given mode with the specified padding. Key lengths of 16, 24 and 32 bits are supported. Supported combinations of (mode, padding) are ('ECB', 'PKCS'), ('GCM', 'NONE') and ('CBC', 'PKCS'). Optional initialization vectors (IVs) are only supported for CBC and GCM modes. These must be 16 bytes for CBC and 12 bytes for GCM. If not provided, a random vector will be generated and prepended to the output. Optional additional authenticated data (AAD) is only supported for GCM. If provided for encryption, the identical AAD value must be provided for decryption. The default mode is GCM.

      Parameters:
      input - The binary value to encrypt.
      key - The passphrase to use to encrypt the data.
      mode - Specifies which block cipher mode should be used to encrypt messages. Valid modes: ECB, GCM, CBC.
      padding - Specifies how to pad messages whose length is not a multiple of the block size. Valid values: PKCS, NONE, DEFAULT. The DEFAULT padding means PKCS for ECB, NONE for GCM and PKCS for CBC.
      iv - Optional initialization vector. Only supported for CBC and GCM modes. Valid values: None or "". 16-byte array for CBC mode. 12-byte array for GCM mode.

      Convert e to a string based on the format. Throws an exception if the conversion fails. The format can consist of the following characters, case insensitive: '0' or '9': Specifies an expected digit between 0 and 9. A sequence of 0 or 9 in the format string matches a sequence of digits in the input value, generating a result string of the same length as the corresponding sequence in the format string. The result string is left-padded with zeros if the 0/9 sequence comprises more digits than the matching part of the decimal value, starts with 0, and is before the decimal point. Otherwise, it is padded with spaces. '.' or 'D': Specifies the position of the decimal point (optional, only allowed once). ',' or 'G': Specifies the position of the grouping (thousands) separator (,). There must be a 0 or 9 to the left and right of each grouping separator. '$': Specifies the location of the $ currency sign. This character may only be specified once. 'S' or 'MI': Specifies the position of a '-' or '+' sign (optional, only allowed once at the beginning or end of the format string). Note that 'S' prints '+' for positive values but 'MI' prints a space. 'PR': Only allowed at the end of the format string; specifies that the result string will be wrapped by angle brackets if the input value is negative.

      If e is a datetime, format shall be a valid datetime pattern, see Datetime Patterns. If e is a binary, it is converted to a string in one of the formats: 'base64': a base 64 string. 'hex': a string in the hexadecimal format. 'utf-8': the input binary is decoded to UTF-8 string.

The format can consist of the following characters, case insensitive: '0' or '9': Specifies an expected digit between 0 and 9. A sequence of 0 or 9 in the format string matches a sequence of digits in the input value, generating a result string of the same length as the corresponding sequence in the format string. The result string is left-padded with zeros if the 0/9 sequence comprises more digits than the matching part of the decimal value, starts with 0, and is before the decimal point. Otherwise, it is padded with spaces. '.' or 'D': Specifies the position of the decimal point (optional, only allowed once). ',' or 'G': Specifies the position of the grouping (thousands) separator (,). There must be a 0 or 9 to the left and right of each grouping separator. '$': Specifies the location of the $ currency sign. This character may only be specified once. 'S' or 'MI': Specifies the position of a '-' or '+' sign (optional, only allowed once at the beginning or end of the format string). Note that 'S' prints '+' for positive values but 'MI' prints a space. 'PR': Only allowed at the end of the format string; specifies that the result string will be wrapped by angle brackets if the input value is negative.

      If e is a datetime, format shall be a valid datetime pattern, see Datetime Patterns. If e is a binary, it is converted to a string in one of the formats: 'base64': a base 64 string. 'hex': a string in the hexadecimal format. 'utf-8': the input binary is decoded to UTF-8 string.

      Parameters:
      e - (undocumented)
      format - (undocumented)

    • to_number

      public static Column to_number(Column e, Column format)
      Convert string 'e' to a number based on the string format 'format'. Throws an exception if the conversion fails. The format can consist of the following characters, case insensitive: '0' or '9': Specifies an expected digit between 0 and 9. A sequence of 0 or 9 in the format string matches a sequence of digits in the input string. If the 0/9 sequence starts with 0 and is before the decimal point, it can only match a digit sequence of the same size. Otherwise, if the sequence starts with 9 or is after the decimal point, it can match a digit sequence that has the same or smaller size. '.' or 'D': Specifies the position of the decimal point (optional, only allowed once). ',' or 'G': Specifies the position of the grouping (thousands) separator (,). There must be a 0 or 9 to the left and right of each grouping separator. 'expr' must match the grouping separator relevant for the size of the number. '$': Specifies the location of the $ currency sign. This character may only be specified once. 'S' or 'MI': Specifies the position of a '-' or '+' sign (optional, only allowed once at the beginning or end of the format string). Note that 'S' allows '-' but 'MI' does not. 'PR': Only allowed at the end of the format string; specifies that 'expr' indicates a negative number with wrapping angled brackets.

    • window

      public static Column window(Column timeColumn, String windowDuration, String slideDuration, String startTime)
      Bucketize rows into one or more time windows given a timestamp specifying column. Window starts are inclusive but the window ends are exclusive, e.g. 12:05 will be in the window [12:05,12:10) but not in [12:00,12:05). Windows can support microsecond precision. Windows in the order of months are not supported. The following example takes the average stock price for a one minute window every 10 seconds starting 5 seconds after the hour:

      
         val df = ... // schema => timestamp: TimestampType, stockId: StringType, price: DoubleType
         df.groupBy(window($"timestamp", "1 minute", "10 seconds", "5 seconds"), $"stockId")
           .agg(mean("price"))
       

      The windows will look like:

      
         09:00:05-09:01:05
         09:00:15-09:01:15
         09:00:25-09:01:25 ...
       

      For a streaming query, you may use the function current_timestamp to generate windows on processing time.

      Parameters:
      timeColumn - The column or the expression to use as the timestamp for windowing by time. The time column must be of TimestampType or TimestampNTZType.
      windowDuration - A string specifying the width of the window, e.g. 10 minutes, 1 second. Check org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval for valid duration identifiers. Note that the duration is a fixed length of time, and does not vary over time according to a calendar. For example, 1 day always means 86,400,000 milliseconds, not a calendar day.
      slideDuration - A string specifying the sliding interval of the window, e.g. 1 minute. A new window will be generated every slideDuration. Must be less than or equal to the windowDuration. Check org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval for valid duration identifiers. This duration is likewise absolute, and does not vary according to a calendar.
      startTime - The offset with respect to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC with which to start window intervals. For example, in order to have hourly tumbling windows that start 15 minutes past the hour, e.g. 12:15-13:15, 13:15-14:15... provide startTime as 15 minutes.

    • session_window

      public static Column session_window(Column timeColumn, String gapDuration)
      Generates session window given a timestamp specifying column.

      Session window is one of dynamic windows, which means the length of window is varying according to the given inputs. The length of session window is defined as "the timestamp of latest input of the session + gap duration", so when the new inputs are bound to the current session window, the end time of session window can be expanded according to the new inputs.

      Windows can support microsecond precision. gapDuration in the order of months are not supported.

      For a streaming query, you may use the function current_timestamp to generate windows on processing time.

      Parameters:
      timeColumn - The column or the expression to use as the timestamp for windowing by time. The time column must be of TimestampType or TimestampNTZType.
      gapDuration - A string specifying the timeout of the session, e.g. 10 minutes, 1 second. Check org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval for valid duration identifiers.

      Returns:
      (undocumented)
      Since:
      3.2.0
    • session_window

      public static Column session_window(Column timeColumn, Column gapDuration)
      Generates session window given a timestamp specifying column.

      Session window is one of dynamic windows, which means the length of window is varying according to the given inputs. For static gap duration, the length of session window is defined as "the timestamp of latest input of the session + gap duration", so when the new inputs are bound to the current session window, the end time of session window can be expanded according to the new inputs.

      Besides a static gap duration value, users can also provide an expression to specify gap duration dynamically based on the input row. With dynamic gap duration, the closing of a session window does not depend on the latest input anymore. A session window's range is the union of all events' ranges which are determined by event start time and evaluated gap duration during the query execution. Note that the rows with negative or zero gap duration will be filtered out from the aggregation.

      Windows can support microsecond precision. gapDuration in the order of months are not supported.

      For a streaming query, you may use the function current_timestamp to generate windows on processing time.

      Parameters:
      timeColumn - The column or the expression to use as the timestamp for windowing by time. The time column must be of TimestampType or TimestampNTZType.
      gapDuration - A column specifying the timeout of the session. It could be static value, e.g. 10 minutes, 1 second, or an expression/UDF that specifies gap duration dynamically based on the input row.

      Returns:
      (undocumented)

         // register agg as a named function
         spark.udf.register("myAggName", udaf(agg))
       

      Parameters:
      agg - the typed Aggregator

      evidence$3 - (undocumented)
      Returns:
      a UserDefinedFunction that can be used as an aggregating expression.

      The input encoder is inferred from the input type IN.
    • udaf

      public static <IN, BUF, OUT> UserDefinedFunction udaf(Aggregator<IN,BUF,OUT> agg, Encoder<IN> inputEncoder)
      Obtains a UserDefinedFunction that wraps the given Aggregator so that it may be used with untyped Data Frames.
      
         Aggregator<IN, BUF, OUT> agg = // custom Aggregator
         Encoder<IN> enc = // input encoder

      public static UserDefinedFunction udf(Object f, DataType dataType)
      Deprecated.
      Scala `udf` method with return type parameter is deprecated. Please use Scala `udf` method without return type parameter. Since 3.0.0.
      Defines a deterministic user-defined function (UDF) using a Scala closure. For this variant, the caller must specify the output data type, and there is no automatic input type coercion. By default the returned UDF is deterministic. To change it to nondeterministic, call the API UserDefinedFunction.asNondeterministic().

      Note that, although the Scala closure can have primitive-type function argument, it doesn't work well with null values. Because the Scala closure is passed in as Any type, there is no type information for the function arguments. Without the type information, Spark may blindly pass null to the Scala closure with primitive-type argument, and the closure will see the default value of the Java type for the null argument, e.g. udf((x: Int) => x, IntegerType), the result is 0 for null input.

      Parameters:
      f - A closure in Scala
      dataType - The output data type of the UDF
