How to JOIN 3 RDD's using Spark Scala

问题

I want to join 3 tables using spark rdd. I achieved my objective using spark sql but when I tried to join it using Rdd I am not getting the desired results. Below is my query using spark SQL and the output:

scala> actorDF.as("df1").join(movieCastDF.as("df2"),$"df1.act_id"===$"df2.act_id").join(movieDF.as("df3"),$"df2.mov_id"===$"df3.mov_id").
filter(col("df3.mov_title")==="Annie Hall").select($"df1.act_fname",$"df1.act_lname",$"df2.role").show(false)
+---------+---------+-----------+                                               
|act_fname|act_lname|role       |
+---------+---------+-----------+
|Woody    |Allen    |Alvy Singer|
+---------+---------+-----------+

Now I created the pairedRDDs for three datasets and it is as below :

scala> val actPairedRdd=actRdd.map(_.split("\t",-1)).map(p=>(p(0),(p(1),p(2),p(3))))

scala> actPairedRdd.take(5).foreach(println)

(101,(James,Stewart,M))
(102,(Deborah,Kerr,F))
(103,(Peter,OToole,M))
(104,(Robert,De Niro,M))
(105,(F. Murray,Abraham,M))

scala> val movieCastPairedRdd=movieCastRdd.map(_.split("\t",-1)).map(p=>(p(0),(p(1),p(2))))
movieCastPairedRdd: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(String, (String, String))] = MapPartitionsRDD[318] at map at <console>:29

scala> movieCastPairedRdd.foreach(println)
(101,(901,John Scottie Ferguson))
(102,(902,Miss Giddens))
(103,(903,T.E. Lawrence))
(104,(904,Michael))
(105,(905,Antonio Salieri))
(106,(906,Rick Deckard))


scala> val moviePairedRdd=movieRdd.map(_.split("\t",-1)).map(p=>(p(0),(p(1),p(2),p(3),p(4),p(5),p(6))))
moviePairedRdd: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(String, (String, String, String, String, String, String))] = MapPartitionsRDD[322] at map at <console>:29

scala> moviePairedRdd.take(2).foreach(println)
(901,(Vertigo,1958,128,English,1958-08-24,UK))
(902,(The Innocents,1961,100,English,1962-02-19,SW))  

Here actPairedRdd and movieCastPairedRdd is linked with each other and movieCastPairedRdd and moviePairedRdd is linked since they have common column.
Now when I join all the three datasets I am not getting any data

scala> actPairedRdd.join(movieCastPairedRdd).join(moviePairedRdd).take(2).foreach(println)  

I am getting blank records. So where am I going wrong ?? Thanks in advance

回答1:

JOINs like this with RDDs are painful, that's another reason why DFs are nicer.

You get no data as the pair RDD = K, V has no common data for the K part of the last RDD. The K's with 101, 102 will join, but there is no commonality with the 901, 902. You need to shift things around, like this, my more limited example:

val rdd1 = sc.parallelize(Seq(
           (101,("James","Stewart","M")),
           (102,("Deborah","Kerr","F")),
           (103,("Peter","OToole","M")),
           (104,("Robert","De Niro","M")) 
           ))

val rdd2 = sc.parallelize(Seq(
           (101,(901,"John Scottie Ferguson")),
           (102,(902,"Miss Giddens")),
           (103,(903,"T.E. Lawrence")),
           (104,(904,"Michael"))
           ))

val rdd3 = sc.parallelize(Seq(
          (901,("Vertigo",1958 )),
          (902,("The Innocents",1961)) 
          ))

val rdd4 = rdd1.join(rdd2)

val new_rdd4 = rdd4.keyBy(x => x._2._2._1)  // Redefine Key for join with rdd3
val rdd5 = rdd3.join(new_rdd4)
rdd5.collect

returns:

res14: Array[(Int, ((String, Int), (Int, ((String, String, String), (Int, String)))))] = Array((901,((Vertigo,1958),(101,((James,Stewart,M),(901,John Scottie Ferguson))))), (902,((The Innocents,1961),(102,((Deborah,Kerr,F),(902,Miss Giddens))))))

You will need to strip out the data via a map, I leave that to you. INNER join per default.
