No, You don’t need 30 dataframes and self joins. Convert a list of columns to a
list of functions, and then pass the list of functions to the agg function

Thanks, Enrico.
I just found that I need to group the data frame then calculate the
correlation. So I will get a list of dataframe, not columns.
So I used following solution:
1. use following codes to create a mutable data frame df_all. I used the
first datacol to calculate correlation.
df.groupby("groupid").agg(functions.corr("datacol1","corr_col")
2. iterate all remaining datacol columns, create a temp data frame for
this iteration. In this iteration, use df_all to join the temp data frame on
the groupid column, then drop duplicated groupid column.
3. after the iteration, I will get the dataframe which contains all
correlation data.
I need to verify the data to make sure it is valid.

If you have a list of Columns called `columns`, you can pass them to the `agg`
method as:
agg(columns.head, columns.tail: _*)

Thanks, Sean. I modified the codes and have generated a list of columns.
I am working on convert a list of columns to a new data frame. It seems that
there is no direct API to do this.

Are you just trying to avoid writing the function call 30 times? Just put this
in a loop over all the columns instead, which adds a new corr col every time to
a list.

Hi all,

I want to calculate the correlation between all datacol columns and corr_col
column by each groupid.
So I used the following spark scala-api codes:
df.groupby("groupid").agg(functions.corr("datacol1","corr_col"),functions.corr("datacol2","corr_col"),functions.corr("datacol3","corr_col"),functions.corr("datacol*","corr_col"))
This is very inefficient. If I have 30 data_col columns, I need to input 30
times functions.corr to calculate correlation.
I have searched, it seems that functions.corr doesn't accept a List/Array
parameter, and df.agg doesn't accept a function to be parameter.
So any spark scala API codes can do this job efficiently?
Thanks
Liang
