如何使Spark Dataframe区分具有重复名称的列,避免References ambiguous问题

前言

有时候我们在使用Spark中执行Join时候,结果集出现重复的列名,从而导致References ambiguous问题。我们可以用以下方式来解决。

实例

首先模拟一些数据

#In python
from pyspark.mllib.linalg import SparseVector
from pyspark.sql import Row

df1 = sqlContext.createDataFrame([
    Row(a=107831, f=SparseVector(
        5, {0: 0.0, 1: 0.0, 2: 0.0, 3: 0.0, 4: 0.0})),
    Row(a=125231, f=SparseVector(
        5, {0: 0.0, 1: 0.0, 2: 0.0047, 3: 0.0, 4: 0.0043})),
])

df2 = sqlContext.createDataFrame([
    Row(a=107831, f=SparseVector(
        5, {0: 0.0, 1: 0.0, 2: 0.0, 3: 0.0, 4: 0.0})),
    Row(a=107831, f=SparseVector(
        5, {0: 0.0, 1: 0.0, 2: 0.0, 3: 0.0, 4: 0.0})),
])

为了防止出现重复列名的问题,首先可以指定使用哪张表的列,如下:

df1.join(df2, df1['a'] == df2['a']).select(df1['f']).show(2)

##  +--------------------+
##  |                   f|
##  +--------------------+
##  |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
##  |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
##  +--------------------+

当然我们也可以使用别名alias:

from pyspark.sql.functions import col

df1_a = df1.alias("df1_a")
df2_a = df2.alias("df2_a")

df1_a.join(df2_a, col('df1_a.a') == col('df2_a.a')).select('df1_a.f').show(2)

##  +--------------------+
##  |                   f|
##  +--------------------+
##  |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
##  |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
##  +--------------------+

除此之外,我们还可以编程式的重命名列来避免模糊列名:

df1_r = df1.select(*(col(x).alias(x + '_df1') for x in df1.columns))
df2_r = df1.select(*(col(x).alias(x + '_df2') for x in df2.columns))

df1_r.join(df2_r, col('a_df1') == col('a_df2')).select(col('f_df1')).show(2)

## +--------------------+
## |               f_df1|
## +--------------------+
## |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
## |(5,[0,1,2,3,4],[0...|
## +--------------------+

当然还有一种简单的方法,可以在结果表中只产生一份用于连接的列,

df1.join(df2,['a'])
