So I have a spark dataframe that looks like:
a | b | c
5 | 2 | 1
5 | 4 | 3
2 | 4 | 2
2 | 3 | 7
And I want to group by column a, create a list of values from column b, and forget about c. The output dataframe would be :
a | b_list
5 | (2,4)
2 | (4,3)
How would I go about doing this with a pyspark sql dataframe?
Thank you! :)
Here are the steps to get that Dataframe.
>>> from pyspark.sql import functions as F
>>>
>>> d = [{'a': 5, 'b': 2, 'c':1}, {'a': 5, 'b': 4, 'c':3}, {'a': 2, 'b': 4, 'c':2}, {'a': 2, 'b': 3,'c':7}]
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(d)
>>> df.show()
+---+---+---+
| a| b| c|
+---+---+---+
| 5| 2| 1|
| 5| 4| 3|
| 2| 4| 2|
| 2| 3| 7|
+---+---+---+
>>> df1 = df.groupBy('a').agg(F.collect_list("b"))
>>> df1.show()
+---+---------------+
| a|collect_list(b)|
+---+---------------+
| 5| [2, 4]|
| 2| [4, 3]|
+---+---------------+
