Thanks
So what I did was
scala> val df =
sqlContext.read.format("com.databricks.spark.csv").option("inferSchema",
"true").option("header", "true").load("/data/stg/table2")
df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [Invoice Number: string, Payment date:
string, Net: string, VAT: string, Total: string]
scala> df.printSchema
root
|-- Invoice Number: string (nullable = true)
|-- Payment date: string (nullable = true)
|-- Net: string (nullable = true)
|-- VAT: string (nullable = true)
|-- Total: string (nullable = true)
So all the columns are Strings
Then I tried to exclude null rows by filtering on all columns not being null
and map the rest
scala> val a = df.filter(col("Invoice Number").isNotNull and col("Payment
date").isNotNull and col("Net").isNotNull and col("VAT").isNotNull and
col("Total").isNotNull).map(x =>
(x.getString(1),x.getString(2).substring(1).replace(",",
"").toDouble,x.getString(3).substring(1).replace(",", "").toDouble,
x.getString(4).substring(1).replace(",", "").toDouble))
a: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(String, Double, Double, Double)] =
MapPartitionsRDD[176] at map at <console>:21
This still comes up with “String index out of range: “ error
16/02/20 11:50:51 ERROR Executor: Exception in task 0.0 in stage 12.0 (TID 18)
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
My questions are:
1. Doing the map, map(x => (x.getString(1) -- Can I replace x.getString(1)
with the actual column name say “Invoice Number” and so forth for other columns
as well?
2. Sounds like it crashes because of these columns below at the end
[421,02/10/2015,?1,187.50,?237.50,?1,425.00] \\ example good one
[,,,,] \\ bad one, empty one
[Net income,,?182,531.25,?14,606.25,?197,137.50]
[,,,,] \\ bad one, empty one
[year 2014,,?113,500.00,?0.00,?113,500.00]
[Year 2015,,?69,031.25,?14,606.25,?83,637.50]
3. Also to clarify I want to drop those two empty line -> [,,,,] if I can.
Unfortunately drop() call does not work
a.drop()
<console>:24: error: value drop is not a member of
org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[(String, Double, Double, Double)]
a.drop()

I have a DF like below reading a csv file
val df =
HiveContext.read.format("com.databricks.spark.csv").option("inferSchema",
"true").option("header", "true").load("/data/stg/table2")
val a = df.map(x => (x.getString(0), x.getString(1),
x.getString(2).substring(1).replace(",",
"").toDouble,x.getString(3).substring(1).replace(",", "").toDouble,
x.getString(4).substring(1).replace(",", "").toDouble))
For most rows I am reading from csv file the above mapping works fine. However,
at the bottom of csv there are couple of empty columns as below
[421,02/10/2015,?1,187.50,?237.50,?1,425.00]
[,,,,]
[Net income,,?182,531.25,?14,606.25,?197,137.50]
[,,,,]
[year 2014,,?113,500.00,?0.00,?113,500.00]
[Year 2015,,?69,031.25,?14,606.25,?83,637.50]
However, I get
a.collect.foreach(println)
16/02/20 08:31:53 ERROR Executor: Exception in task 0.0 in stage 123.0 (TID 161)
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
I suspect the cause is substring operation say x.getString(2).substring(1) on
empty values that according to web will throw this type of error
The easiest solution seems to be to check whether x above is not null and do
the substring operation. Can this be done without using a UDF?
