dapply

dapply.Rd

Apply a function to each partition of a SparkDataFrame.

Usage

dapply(x, func, schema)

# S4 method for SparkDataFrame,function,characterOrstructType
dapply(x, func, schema)

Arguments

x

A SparkDataFrame

func

A function to be applied to each partition of the SparkDataFrame. func should have only one parameter, to which a R data.frame corresponds to each partition will be passed. The output of func should be a R data.frame.

schema

The schema of the resulting SparkDataFrame after the function is applied. It must match the output of func. Since Spark 2.3, the DDL-formatted string is also supported for the schema.

Note

dapply since 2.0.0

           },
           schema)

  # The schema also can be specified in a DDL-formatted string.
