Let's say I have the following table:

+--------------------+--------------------+------+------------+--------------------+

How I would filter this table to have only distinct paths in PySpark? But the table should contains all columns.


回答1:


If you want to save rows where all values in specific column are distinct, you have to call dropDuplicates method on DataFrame. Like this in my example:

dataFrame = ... 
dataFrame.dropDuplicates(['path'])

where path is column name




回答2:


As for tuning which records are kept and discarded, if you can work your conditions into a Window expression, you can use something like this. This is in scala (more or less) but I imagine you can do it in PySpark, too.

val window = Window.parititionBy('columns,'to,'make,'unique).orderBy('conditionToPutRowToKeepFirst)

dataframe.withColumn("row_number",row_number().over(window)).where('row_number===1).drop('row_number)
