As mentioned by @user2000823 Spark provides pivot
function since version 1.6. General syntax looks as follows:
df .groupBy(grouping_columns) .pivot(pivot_column, [values]) .agg(aggregate_expressions)
Usage examples using nycflights13
and csv
format:
Python:
from pyspark.sql.functions import avg flights = (sqlContext .read .format("csv") .options(inferSchema="true", header="true") .load("flights.csv") .na.drop()) flights.registerTempTable("flights") sqlContext.cacheTable("flights") gexprs = ("origin", "dest", "carrier") aggexpr = avg("arr_delay") flights.count() ## 336776 %timeit -n10 flights.groupBy(*gexprs ).pivot("hour").agg(aggexpr).count() ## 10 loops, best of 3: 1.03 s per loop
Scala:
val flights = sqlContext .read .format("csv") .options(Map("inferSchema" -> "true", "header" -> "true")) .load("flights.csv") flights .groupBy($"origin", $"dest", $"carrier") .pivot("hour") .agg(avg($"arr_delay"))
Java:
import static org.apache.spark.sql.functions.*; import org.apache.spark.sql.*; Dataset df = spark.read().format("csv") .option("inferSchema", "true") .option("header", "true") .load("flights.csv"); df.groupBy(col("origin"), col("dest"), col("carrier")) .pivot("hour") .agg(avg(col("arr_delay")));
R / SparkR:
library(magrittr) flights % groupBy("origin", "dest", "carrier") %>% pivot("hour") %>% agg(avg(column("arr_delay")))
R / sparklyr
library(dplyr) flights % invoke("agg", expr, list()) } flights %>% sdf_pivot(origin + dest + carrier ~ hour, fun.aggregate=avg.arr.delay)

Performance considerations:
Generally speaking pivoting is an expensive operation.
I have solved a similar problem using dataframes with the following steps:
Create columns for all your countries, with 'value' as the value:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._ val countries = List("US", "UK", "Can") val countryValue = udf{(countryToCheck: String, countryInRow: String, value: Long) => if(countryToCheck == countryInRow) value else 0 } val countryFuncs = countries.map{country => (dataFrame: DataFrame) => dataFrame.withColumn(country, countryValue(lit(country), df("tag"), df("value"))) } val dfWithCountries = Function.chain(countryFuncs)(df).drop("tag").drop("value")
Your dataframe 'dfWithCountries' will look like this:
+--+--+---+---+ |id|US| UK|Can| +--+--+---+---+ | 1|50| 0| 0| | 1| 0|100| 0| | 1| 0| 0|125| | 2|75| 0| 0| | 2| 0|150| 0| | 2| 0| 0|175| +--+--+---+---+
Now you can sum together all the values for your desired result:
dfWithCountries.groupBy("id").sum(countries: _*).show
Result:
+--+-------+-------+--------+ |id|SUM(US)|SUM(UK)|SUM(Can)| +--+-------+-------+--------+ | 1| 50| 100| 125| | 2| 75| 150| 175| +--+-------+-------+--------+
It's not a very elegant solution though. I had to create a chain of functions to add in all the columns. Also if I have lots of countries, I will expand my temporary data set to a very wide set with lots of zeroes.
Initially i adopted Al M's solution. Later took the same thought and rewrote this function as a transpose function.
This method transposes any df rows to columns of any data-format with using key and value column
for input csv
id,tag,value 1,US,50a 1,UK,100 1,Can,125 2,US,75 2,UK,150 2,Can,175
ouput
+--+---+---+---+ |id| UK| US|Can| +--+---+---+---+ | 2|150| 75|175| | 1|100|50a|125| +--+---+---+---+
transpose method :
def transpose(hc : HiveContext , df: DataFrame,compositeId: List[String], key: String, value: String) = { val distinctCols = df.select(key).distinct.map { r => r(0) }.collect().toList val rdd = df.map { row => (compositeId.collect { case id => row.getAs(id).asInstanceOf[Any] }, scala.collection.mutable.Map(row.getAs(key).asInstanceOf[Any] -> row.getAs(value).asInstanceOf[Any])) } val pairRdd = rdd.reduceByKey(_ ++ _) val rowRdd = pairRdd.map(r => dynamicRow(r, distinctCols)) hc.createDataFrame(rowRdd, getSchema(df.schema, compositeId, (key, distinctCols))) } private def dynamicRow(r: (List[Any], scala.collection.mutable.Map[Any, Any]), colNames: List[Any]) = { val cols = colNames.collect { case col => r._2.getOrElse(col.toString(), null) } val array = r._1 ++ cols Row(array: _*) } private def getSchema(srcSchema: StructType, idCols: List[String], distinctCols: (String, List[Any])): StructType = { val idSchema = idCols.map { idCol => srcSchema.apply(idCol) } val colSchema = srcSchema.apply(distinctCols._1) val colsSchema = distinctCols._2.map { col => StructField(col.asInstanceOf[String], colSchema.dataType, colSchema.nullable) } StructType(idSchema ++ colsSchema) }
