Answer 1

With Scala you can use:

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._ 

df.withColumn("id",monotonicallyIncreasingId)

You can refer to this exemple and scala docs.

With Pyspark you can use:

from pyspark.sql.functions import monotonically_increasing_id 

df_index = df.select("*").withColumn("id", monotonically_increasing_id())
