PairRDDFunctions and DataFrames

2015-07-16 Thread Yana Kadiyska
Hi, could someone point me to the recommended way of using
countApproxDistinctByKey with DataFrames?

I know I can map to pair RDD but I'm wondering if there is a simpler
method? If someone knows if this operations is expressible in SQL that
information would be most appreciated as well.

Instead of using that RDD operation just use the native DataFrame function
approxCountDistinct
