Exercise

Aggregate dot SQL

The following code uses SQL to set the value of a dataframe called df.

df = spark.sql("""
SELECT *, 
LEAD(time,1) OVER(PARTITION BY train_id ORDER BY time) AS time_next 
FROM schedule
""")
  • The LEAD clause has an equivalent function in pyspark.sql.functions.
  • The PARTITION BY, and ORDER BY clauses each have an equivalent dot notation function that is called on the Window object.
  • The following imports are available:
    • from pyspark.sql import Window
    • from pyspark.sql.functions import lead
