sdf_pivot

Pivot a Spark DataFrame

Description

Construct a pivot table over a Spark Dataframe, using a syntax similar to that from reshape2::dcast.

Usage

sdf_pivot(x, formula, fun.aggregate = "count")

Arguments

Argument	Description
x	A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.
formula	A two-sided formula of the form x_1 + x_2 + ... ~ y_1.

The left-hand side of the formula indicates which variables are used for grouping, and the right-hand side indicates which variable is used for pivoting. Currently, only a single pivot column is supported. fun.aggregate | How should the grouped dataset be aggregated? Can be a length-one character vector, giving the name of a Spark aggregation function to be called; a named list mapping column names to an aggregation method, or an function that is invoked on the grouped dataset.

Examples

library(sparklyr)
library(dplyr)

sc <- spark_connect(master = "local")
iris_tbl <- sdf_copy_to(sc, iris, name = "iris_tbl", overwrite = TRUE)

# aggregating by mean
iris_tbl %>%
  mutate(Petal_Width = ifelse(Petal_Width > 1.5, "High", "Low")) %>%
  sdf_pivot(Petal_Width ~ Species,
    fun.aggregate = list(Petal_Length = "mean")
  )

# aggregating all observations in a list
iris_tbl %>%
  mutate(Petal_Width = ifelse(Petal_Width > 1.5, "High", "Low")) %>%
  sdf_pivot(Petal_Width ~ Species,
    fun.aggregate = list(Petal_Length = "collect_list")
  )
