I am trying to find the solution in spark to group data with a common element in an array.
key value
[k1,k2] v1
[k2] v2
[k3,k2] v3
[k4] v4
If any element matches in key, we have to assign same groupid to that.(Groupby common element)
Result:
key value GroupID
[k1,k2] v1 G1
[k2] v2 G1
[k3,k2] v3 G1
[k4] v4 G2
Some suggestions are already given with Spark Graphx, but at this moment learning curve will be more to implement this for a single feature.
One of the most common is to create an array. An array is a collection of individual values. For instance, I might have a collection of sales numbers or ID numbers for a group of people. In an array these items are grouped together and are able to be referred to using a single name.
The groupToMap() method groups the elements in an array using the values returned by its callback function. It returns a Map with the unique values from the callback function as keys, which can be used to access the array of elements in each group.
First Method (Naive Approach) – Find Common Elements in Two Arrays using Two For Loops. In this approach, we take each element of a first array and compare with every element of a second array. If it is found in second array then it's a common element else we move to next element.
Include graphframes
(the latest supported Spark version is 2.1, but it should support 2.2 as well, if you use newer you'll have to build your own with 2.3 patch) replacing XXX
with Spark version and YYY
with Scala version:
spark.jars.packages graphframes:graphframes:0.5.0-sparkXXX-s_YYY
Add explode keys:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
val df = Seq(
(Seq("k1", "k2"), "v1"), (Seq("k2"), "v2"),
(Seq("k3", "k2"), "v3"), (Seq("k4"), "v4")
).toDF("key", "value")
val edges = df.select(
explode($"key") as "src", $"value" as "dst")
Convert to graphframe
:
import org.graphframes._
val gf = GraphFrame.fromEdges(edges)
Set checkpoint directory (if not set):
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
val path: String = ???
val spark: SparkSession = ???
spark.sparkContext.setCheckpointDir(path)
Find connected components:
val components = GraphFrame.fromEdges(edges).connectedComponents.setAlgorithm("graphx").run
Join result with input data:
val result = components.where($"id".startsWith("v")).toDF("value", "group").join(df, Seq("value"))
Check result:
result.show
// +-----+------------+--------+
// |value| group| key|
// +-----+------------+--------+
// | v3|489626271744|[k3, k2]|
// | v2|489626271744| [k2]|

// | v1|489626271744|[k1, k2]|
// +-----+------------+--------+
