Scala - Derive multiple columns from a single column in a Spark DataFrame

In Scala, you can use the withColumn method in Spark DataFrame to derive multiple columns from a single column. Here's how you can do it:

import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._ // Create SparkSession val spark = SparkSession.builder() .appName("MultipleColumnDerivation") .master("local") .getOrCreate() // Create a sample DataFrame val data = Seq( ("John", "New York"), ("Alice", "San Francisco"), ("Bob", "Los Angeles") ) val df = spark.createDataFrame(data).toDF("Name", "City") // Derive multiple columns from a single column val derivedDF = df .withColumn("City_Length", length(col("City"))) .withColumn("City_Uppercase", upper(col("City"))) .withColumn("City_Lowercase", lower(col("City"))) // Show the resulting DataFrame derivedDF.show()

In this example:

  1. We imported necessary Spark SQL functions from org.apache.spark.sql.functions.
  2. We created a sample DataFrame df with columns "Name" and "City".
  3. We used the withColumn method to derive three new columns from the existing "City" column:
    • City_Length: Length of the city name.
    • City_Uppercase: Uppercase version of the city name.
    • City_Lowercase: Lowercase version of the city name.
  4. We displayed the resulting DataFrame derivedDF using the show method.

This will output:

+-----+--------------+-------------+--------------+ | Name| City| City_Length|City_Uppercase|City_Lowercase| +-----+--------------+-------------+--------------+ | John| New York| 8| NEW YORK| new york| |Alice|San Francisco| 13|SAN FRANCISCO|san francisco| | Bob| Los Angeles| 11| LOS ANGELES| los angeles| +-----+--------------+-------------+--------------+--------------+

You can use various built-in Spark SQL functions to derive new columns based on the values in an existing column.
