Apache Spark Window function with nested column

问题

I'm not sure this is a bug (or just incorrect syntax). I searched around and didn't see this mentioned elsewhere so I'm asking here before filing a bug report.

I'm trying to use a Window function partitioned on a nested column. I've created a small example below demonstrating the problem.

import sqlContext.implicits._
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import org.apache.spark.sql.expressions.Window

val data = Seq(("a", "b", "c", 3), ("c", "b", "a", 3)).toDF("A", "B", "C", "num")
  .withColumn("Data", struct("A", "B", "C")).drop("A").drop("B").drop("C")
val winSpec = Window.partitionBy("Data.A", "Data.B").orderBy($"num".desc)
data.select($"*", max("num").over(winSpec) as "max").where("num = max").drop("max").show

The above results in an error org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: resolved attribute(s) A#39,B#40 missing from num#33,Data#37 in operator !Project [num#33,Data#37,A#39,B#40]; at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.CheckAnalysis$class.failAnalysis(CheckAnalysis.scala:38) at org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.analysis.Analyzer.failAnalysis(Analyzer.scala:44) ...

If instead those columns aren't nested, it works fine. Am I missing something with the syntax, or is this a bug?

回答1:

It looks to me like you are hitting a bug when the analyzer is trying to expand the *

import sqlContext.implicits._
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import org.apache.spark.sql.expressions.Window

sql("SET spark.sql.eagerAnalysis=false") // Let us see the error even though we are constructing an invalid tree

val data = Seq(("a", "b", "c", 3), ("c", "b", "a", 3)).toDF("A", "B", "C", "num")
  .withColumn("Data", struct("A", "B", "C"))
  .drop("A")
  .drop("B")
  .drop("C")

val winSpec = Window.partitionBy("Data.A", "Data.B").orderBy($"num".desc)
data.select($"*", max("num").over(winSpec) as "max").explain(true)

By turning off eager analysis (so that we can call explain without it throwing an error) you can see that the "*" is getting expanded to include columns that aren't actually available:

I've filed this here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12989. If you manually list out the columns instead of using a * that should act as a workaround.
