Hyukjin Kwon reassigned SPARK-47365: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Ian Cook > Add toArrow() DataFrame method to PySpark > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-47365 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-47365 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Connect, Input/Output, PySpark, SQL > Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 3.5.1 > Reporter: Ian Cook > Assignee: Ian Cook > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 4.0.0 > > > Over in the Apache Arrow community, we hear from a lot of users who want to > return the contents of a PySpark DataFrame as a [PyArrow > Table|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Table.html]. > Currently the only documented way to do this is: > *PySpark DataFrame* --> *pandas DataFrame* --> *PyArrow Table* > This adds significant overhead compared to going direct from PySpark > DataFrame to PyArrow Table. Since [PySpark already goes through PyArrow to > convert to > pandas|https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/user_guide/sql/arrow_pandas.html], > would it be possible to publicly expose a *toArrow()* method of the Spark > DataFrame class? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
