3. class DataFrame extends RDDApi[Row] with Serializable

   

   :: Experimental :: A distributed collection of data organized into named columns.

   :: Experimental :: A distributed collection of data organized into named columns.

   A DataFrame is equivalent to a relational table in Spark SQL. The following example creates a DataFrame by pointing Spark SQL to a Parquet data set.

   val people = sqlContext.read.parquet("...")  // in Scala
   DataFrame people = sqlContext.read().parquet("...")  // in Java

   Once created, it can be manipulated using the various domain-specific-language (DSL) functions defined in: DataFrame (this class), Column, and functions.

   To select a column from the data frame, use apply method in Scala and col in Java.

   val ageCol = people("age")  // in Scala
   Column ageCol = people.col("age")  // in Java

   Note that the Column type can also be manipulated through its various functions.

   // The following creates a new column that increases everybody's age by 10.
   people("age") + 10  // in Scala
   people.col("age").plus(10);  // in Java

   A more concrete example in Scala:

   // To create DataFrame using SQLContext
   val people = sqlContext.read.parquet("...")
   val department = sqlContext.read.parquet("...")
   
   people.filter("age > 30")
     .join(department, people("deptId") === department("id"))
     .groupBy(department("name"), "gender")
     .agg(avg(people("salary")), max(people("age")))

   and in Java:

   // To create DataFrame using SQLContext
   DataFrame people = sqlContext.read().parquet("...");
   DataFrame department = sqlContext.read().parquet("...");
   
   people.filter("age".gt(30))
     .join(department, people.col("deptId").equalTo(department("id")))
     .groupBy(department.col("name"), "gender")
     .agg(avg(people.col("salary")), max(people.col("age")));
