-------------------------------
Summary: Support column type in split function in scala and python
Key: SPARK-47845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47845
Project: Spark
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Connect, Spark Core
Affects Versions: 3.5.1
Reporter: Liu Cao
I have a use case to split a String typed column with different delimiters
defined in other columns of the dataframe. SQL already supports this, but scala
/ python functions currently don't.
A hypothetical example to illustrate:
{code:java}
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.{col, split}
val example = spark.createDataFrame(
Seq(
("Doe, John", ", ", 2),
("Smith,Jane", ",", 2),
("Johnson", ",", 1)
)
)
.toDF("name", "delim", "expected_parts_count")
example.createOrReplaceTempView("test_data")
// works for SQL
spark.sql("SELECT split(name, delim, expected_parts_count) AS name_parts FROM
test_data").show()
// currently erroring out for scala
example.withColumn("name_parts", split(col("name"), col("delim"),
col("expected_parts_count"))).show() {code}
