How to convert rdd object to dataframe in spark

Question

How can I convert an RDD (org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[org.apache.spark.sql.Row]) to a Dataframe org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame. I converted a datafram

Answer 1

Method 1: (Scala)

val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
import sqlContext.implicits._
val df_2 = sc.parallelize(Seq((1L, 3.0, "a"), (2L, -1.0, "b"), (3L, 0.0, "c"))).toDF("x", "y", "z")

Method 2: (Scala)

case class temp(val1: String,val3 : Double) 

val rdd = sc.parallelize(Seq(
  Row("foo",  0.5), Row("bar",  0.0)
))
val rows = rdd.map({case Row(val1:String,val3:Double) => temp(val1,val3)}).toDF()
rows.show()

Method 1: (Python)

from pyspark.sql import Row
l = [('Alice',2)]
Person = Row('name','age')
rdd = sc.parallelize(l)
person = rdd.map(lambda r:Person(*r))
df2 = sqlContext.createDataFrame(person)
df2.show()

Method 2: (Python)

from pyspark.sql.types import * 
l = [('Alice',2)]
rdd = sc.parallelize(l)
schema =  StructType([StructField ("name" , StringType(), True) , 
StructField("age" , IntegerType(), True)]) 
df3 = sqlContext.createDataFrame(rdd, schema) 
df3.show()

Extracted the value from the row object and then applied the case class to convert rdd to DF

val temp1 = attrib1.map{case Row ( key: Int ) => s"$key" }
val temp2 = attrib2.map{case Row ( key: Int) => s"$key" }

case class RLT (id: String, attrib_1 : String, attrib_2 : String)
import hiveContext.implicits._

val df = result.map{ s => RLT(s(0),s(1),s(2)) }.toDF
