Querying Spark SQL DataFrame with complex types

Question

How Can I query an RDD with complex types such as maps/arrays? for example, when I was writing this test code:

case class Test(name: String, map: Map[String,

Once You convert it to DF, u can simply fetch data as

  val rddRow= rdd.map(kv=>{
    val k = kv._1
    val v = kv._2
    Row(k, v)
  })

val myFld1 =  StructField("name", org.apache.spark.sql.types.StringType, true)
val myFld2 =  StructField("map", org.apache.spark.sql.types.MapType(StringType, StringType), true)
val arr = Array( myFld1, myFld2)
val schema = StructType( arr )
val rowrddDF = sqc.createDataFrame(rddRow, schema)
rowrddDF.registerTempTable("rowtbl")  
val rowrddDFFinal = rowrddDF.select(rowrddDF("map.one"))
or
val rowrddDFFinal = rowrddDF.select("map.one")
