Dataframe PySpark

A distributed data collection organized into named columns!

It is a basic PySpark data structure that provides several benefits for data processing and analysis. PySpark DataFrames, which are modeled after the idea of DataFrames in Python's Pandas library, offer a tabular data representation of data that is easier to use than RDDs.

PySpark Sample Code For Using Dataframe

1. First one: Setting up a SparkSession
2. Last one: Performing data analysis

DataFrames involves several steps:

1. Import PySpark And Initialize a SparkSession
2. Data Loading
3. Data Exploration
4. Data Analysis
5. Data Visualization And Transformation
6. Data Filtering
7. Data Aggregation
8. Stop The SparkSession

1.Import PySpark And Initialize a SparkSession

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark=SparkSession.builder.appName("FabioCarquiAnalysis").getOrCreate()        

2. Data Loading

Loading your new dataset into a DataFrame. You will load the CSV file into a DataFrame called sales_data. The header=True argument indicates that the first row of the CSV file includes column headers, and inferSchema=True attempts to infer the data types of the columns.

sales_data = spark.read.csv("/FileStore/shared_uploads/[email protected]/01_sales-1.csv", header=True, inferSchema=True)        

3. Data Exploration

The data frame must then be examined in order to comprehend its contents and structure. While show(3) shows the first three rows of the dataset to provide a quick glimpse, printSchema() reveals the DataFrame's structure and data types.

sales_data.show(3)        

sales_data.printSchema()        

4. Data Analysis

Now, you will use DataFrame operations to analyze data. Let's determine the total amount of money each product category brings in:

revenue_by_Category= sales_data.groupBy("Product_Category").sum("Revenue")
revenue_by_Category.show()        

5. Data Visualization And Transformation

You can skip this step if you'd like. Using tools like Matplotlib or Seaborn, you may visualize the data to gain deeper insights. Additionally, you can handle any missing values or do any necessary data transformations, such converting date strings to datetime objects.

6. Data Filtering

Filtering the data according to predetermined standards is the next stage. Let's filter sales transactions that exceed a specific revenue level, for instance.

high_revenue_sales= sales_data.filter(sales_data["Revenue"] > 2)
high_revenue_sales.show()        

7. Data Aggregation

Aggregation operations are another intriguing step that you can take. To extract insightful information, aggregation techniques summarize data. To generate a new DataFrame with the determined value, you will in this example use the selectExpr() method to calculate the average order value.

average_order_value= sales_data.selectExpr ("avg(Revenue) as avg_order_value")
average_order_value.show()        

8. Stop The SparkSession

You will use the command "spark.stop()" to end the SparkSession and release resources after your data analysis is complete.
