Querying Spark SQL DataFrame with complex types

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, String])
val map = Map("hello" -> "world", "hey" -> "there")
val map2 = Map("hello" -> "people", "hey" -> "you")
val rdd = sc.parallelize(Array(Test("first", map), Test("second", map2)))

I thought the syntax would be something like:

sqlContext.sql("SELECT * FROM rdd WHERE map.hello = world")

or

sqlContext.sql("SELECT * FROM rdd WHERE map[hello] = world")

but I get

Can't access nested field in type MapType(StringType,StringType,true)

and

org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.errors.package$TreeNodeException: Unresolved attributes

respectively.

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")

It depends on a type of the column. Lets start with some dummy data: 

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.{udf, lit}
import scala.util.Try


case class SubRecord(x: Int)
case class ArrayElement(foo: String, bar: Int, vals: Array[Double])
case class Record(
an_array: Array[Int], a_map: Map[String, String],
a_struct: SubRecord, an_array_of_structs: Array[ArrayElement])




val df = sc.parallelize(Seq(
Record(Array(1, 2, 3), Map("foo" -> "bar"), SubRecord(1),
Array(
ArrayElement("foo", 1, Array(1.0, 2.0, 2.0)),
ArrayElement("bar", 2, Array(3.0, 4.0, 5.0)))),
Record(Array(4, 5, 6), Map("foz" -> "baz"), SubRecord(2),
Array(ArrayElement("foz", 3, Array(5.0, 6.0)),
ArrayElement("baz", 4, Array(7.0, 8.0))))
)).toDF

df.registerTempTable("df")
df.printSchema


// root
// |-- an_array: array (nullable = true)
// |    |-- element: integer (containsNull = false)
// |-- a_map: map (nullable = true)
// |    |-- key: string
// |    |-- value: string (valueContainsNull = true)
// |-- a_struct: struct (nullable = true)
// |    |-- x: integer (nullable = false)
// |-- an_array_of_structs: array (nullable = true)
// |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
// |    |    |-- foo: string (nullable = true)
// |    |    |-- bar: integer (nullable = false)
// |    |    |-- vals: array (nullable = true)
// |    |    |    |-- element: double (containsNull = false)

  • array (ArrayType) columns:

    • Column.getItem method

      df.select($"an_array".getItem(1)).show


// +-----------+
// |an_array[1]|
// +-----------+
// |          2|
// |          5|
// +-----------+

    • Hive brackets syntax:

      sqlContext.sql("SELECT an_array[1] FROM df").show


// +---+
// |_c0|
// +---+
// |  2|
// |  5|
// +---+

    • an UDF

      val get_ith = udf((xs: Seq[Int], i: Int) => Try(xs(i)).toOption)


df.select(get_ith($"an_array", lit(1))).show


// +---------------+
// |UDF(an_array,1)|
// +---------------+
// |              2|
// |              5|
// +---------------+

    • Additionally to the methods listed above Spark supports a growing list of built-in functions operating on complex types. Notable examples include higher order functions like transform (SQL 2.4+, Scala 3.0+, PySpark / SparkR 3.1+):

      df.selectExpr("transform(an_array, x -> x + 1) an_array_inc").show
// +------------+
// |an_array_inc|
// +------------+
// |   [2, 3, 4]|
// |   [5, 6, 7]|
// +------------+


import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.transform


df.select(transform($"an_array", x => x + 1) as "an_array_inc").show
// +------------+
// |an_array_inc|
// +------------+
// |   [2, 3, 4]|
// |   [5, 6, 7]|
// +------------+

    • filter (SQL 2.4+, Scala 3.0+, Python / SparkR 3.1+)

      df.selectExpr("filter(an_array, x -> x % 2 == 0) an_array_even").show
// +-------------+
// |an_array_even|
// +-------------+
// |          [2]|
// |       [4, 6]|
// +-------------+


import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.filter


df.select(filter($"an_array", x => x % 2 === 0) as "an_array_even").show
// +-------------+
// |an_array_even|
// +-------------+
// |          [2]|
// |       [4, 6]|
// +-------------+

    • aggregate (SQL 2.4+, Scala 3.0+, PySpark / SparkR 3.1+):

      df.selectExpr("aggregate(an_array, 0, (acc, x) -> acc + x, acc -> acc) an_array_sum").show
// +------------+
// |an_array_sum|
// +------------+
// |           6|
// |          15|
// +------------+


import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.aggregate


df.select(aggregate($"an_array", lit(0), (x, y) => x + y) as "an_array_sum").show
// +------------+
// |an_array_sum|
// +------------+
// |           6|
// |          15|
// +------------+

    • array processing functions (array_*) like array_distinct (2.4+):

      import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.array_distinct


df.select(array_distinct($"an_array_of_structs.vals"(0))).show
// +-------------------------------------------+

// |                                 [5.0, 6.0]|
// +-------------------------------------------+

    • array_max (array_min, 2.4+):

      import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.array_max


df.select(array_max($"an_array")).show
// +-------------------+
// |array_max(an_array)|
// +-------------------+
// |                  3|
// |                  6|

// +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
// |arrays_zip(an_array_of_structs.vals[0], an_array_of_structs.vals[1])|

// |[[5.0, 7.0], [6.0, 8.0]]                                            |
// +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

// +---------------------+
// |               [2, 3]|
// |               [5, 6]|
// +---------------------+

  • map (MapType) columns

    • using Column.getField method:

      df.select($"a_map".getField("foo")).show


// +----------+
// |a_map[foo]|
// +----------+
// |       bar|
// |      null|
// +----------+

    • using Hive brackets syntax:

      sqlContext.sql("SELECT a_map['foz'] FROM df").show


// +----+
// | _c0|
// +----+
// |null|
// | baz|
// +----+

    • using a full path with dot syntax:

      df.select($"a_map.foo").show


// +----+
// | foo|
// +----+
// | bar|
// |null|
// +----+

    • using an UDF

      val get_field = udf((kvs: Map[String, String], k: String) => kvs.get(k))


df.select(get_field($"a_map", lit("foo"))).show


// +--------------+
// |UDF(a_map,foo)|
// +--------------+
// |           bar|
// |          null|
// +--------------+

    • Growing number of map_* functions like map_keys (2.3+)

      import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.map_keys


df.select(map_keys($"a_map")).show
// +---------------+
// |map_keys(a_map)|
// +---------------+
// |          [foo]|
// |          [foz]|
// +---------------+

    • or map_values (2.3+)

df.select(map_values($"a_map")).show
// +-----------------+
// |map_values(a_map)|
// +-----------------+
// |            [bar]|
// |            [baz]|
// +-----------------+

    Please check SPARK-23899 for a detailed list.

  • struct (StructType) columns using full path with dot syntax:

    • with DataFrame API

      df.select($"a_struct.x").show


// +---+
// |  x|
// +---+
// |  1|
// |  2|
// +---+

    • with raw SQL

      sqlContext.sql("SELECT a_struct.x FROM df").show


// +---+
// |  x|
// +---+
// |  1|
// |  2|
// +---+

  • fields inside array of structs can be accessed using dot-syntax, names and standard Column methods:

    df.select($"an_array_of_structs.foo").show


// +----------+
// |       foo|
// +----------+
// |[foo, bar]|
// |[foz, baz]|
// +----------+


sqlContext.sql("SELECT an_array_of_structs[0].foo FROM df").show


// +---+
// |_c0|
// +---+
// |foo|
// |foz|
// +---+


df.select($"an_array_of_structs.vals".getItem(1).getItem(1)).show


// +------------------------------+
// |an_array_of_structs.vals[1][1]|
// +------------------------------+
// |                           4.0|
// |                           8.0|
// +------------------------------+

  • user defined types (UDTs) fields can be accessed using UDFs. See Spark SQL referencing attributes of UDT for details.

Notes:

  • depending on a Spark version some of these methods can be available only with HiveContext. UDFs should work independent of version with both standard SQLContext and HiveContext.

  • generally speaking nested values are a second class citizens. Not all typical operations are supported on nested fields. Depending on a context it could be better to flatten the schema and / or explode collections

    df.select(explode($"an_array_of_structs")).show


// +--------------------+
// |                 col|
// +--------------------+
// |[foo,1,WrappedArr...|
// |[bar,2,WrappedArr...|
// |[foz,3,WrappedArr...|
// |[baz,4,WrappedArr...|
// +--------------------+

  • Dot syntax can be combined with wildcard character (*) to select (possibly multiple) fields without specifying names explicitly:

    df.select($"a_struct.*").show
// +---+
// |  x|
// +---+
// |  1|
// |  2|
// +---+

  • JSON columns can be queried using get_json_object and from_json functions. See How to query JSON data column using Spark DataFrames? for details.

here was what I did and it worked

case class Test(name: String, m: Map[String, String])
val map = Map("hello" -> "world", "hey" -> "there")
val map2 = Map("hello" -> "people", "hey" -> "you")
val rdd = sc.parallelize(Array(Test("first", map), Test("second", map2)))
val rdddf = rdd.toDF
rdddf.registerTempTable("mytable")
sqlContext.sql("select m.hello from mytable").show

Results

+------+
| hello|
+------+
| world|
|people|
+------+
