Apache spark dealing with affirmations

Question

I am dealing with converting SQL code to PySpark code and have come across some SQL statements. I do not know how to approach cases in pyspark? I plan to create an RDD and then use rdd.map and then do some logical checks. Is this the right approach? Please, help!

Basically I need to go through each row in RDD or DF and based on some logic I need to edit one of the column values.

     case  
               when (e."a" Like 'a%' Or e."b" Like 'b%') 
                And e."aa"='BW' And cast(e."abc" as decimal(10,4))=75.0 Then 'callitA'

               when (e."a" Like 'b%' Or e."b" Like 'a%') 
                And e."aa"='AW' And cast(e."abc" as decimal(10,4))=75.0 Then 'callitB'

else

'CallitC'

Answer 1

I'm not very good at python. But I will try to give some indications of what I did in scala.

: rdd.map, . ?

.

withColumn -

DataFrame.withColumn pySpark

Column  - udf

:

from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df.select(df.name, F.when(df.age > 4, 1).when(df.age < 3, -1).otherwise(0)).show()


+-----+--------------------------------------------------------+
| name|CASE WHEN (age > 4) THEN 1 WHEN (age < 3) THEN -1 ELSE 0|
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------+
|Alice|                                                      -1|
|  Bob|                                                       1|
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------+


from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df.select(df.name, F.when(df.age > 3, 1).otherwise(0)).show()

+-----+---------------------------------+
| name|CASE WHEN (age > 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0|
+-----+---------------------------------+
|Alice|                                0|
|  Bob|                                1|
+-----+---------------------------------+

udf when otherwise.

Answer 2

If-Else/When-Then-Else/When-Otherwise pyspark When-Otherwise pyspark.

df = spark.createDataFrame([(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)],['id','value'])

df.show()

#+---+-----+
#| id|value|
#+---+-----+
#|  1|    1|
#|  2|    2|
#|  3|    3|
#+---+-----+

#Desired Output:
#+---+-----+----------+
#| id|value|value_desc|
#+---+-----+----------+
#|  1|    1|       one|
#|  2|    2|       two|
#|  3|    3|     other|
#+---+-----+----------+

№ 1: withColumn() -

from pyspark.sql.functions import when

df.withColumn("value_desc",when(df.value == 1, 'one').when(df.value == 2, 'two').otherwise('other')).show()

№ 2: select() -

from pyspark.sql.functions import when

df.select("*",when(df.value == 1, 'one').when(df.value == 2, 'two').otherwise('other').alias('value_desc')).show()

3: selectExpr() SQL- CASE

df.selectExpr("*","CASE WHEN value == 1 THEN  'one' WHEN value == 2 THEN  'two' ELSE 'other' END AS value_desc").show()

SQL- withColumn() select() pyspark.sql.functions.expr. .

Option4: select() expr

from pyspark.sql.functions import expr 

df.select("*",expr("CASE WHEN value == 1 THEN  'one' WHEN value == 2 THEN  'two' ELSE 'other' END AS value_desc")).show()

Option5: withColumn() expr

from pyspark.sql.functions import expr 

df.withColumn("value_desc",expr("CASE WHEN value == 1 THEN  'one' WHEN value == 2 THEN  'two' ELSE 'other' END AS value_desc")).show()

:

#+---+-----+----------+
#| id|value|value_desc|
#+---+-----+----------+
#|  1|    1|       one|
#|  2|    2|       two|
#|  3|    3|     other|
#+---+-----+----------+
