How to Convert Json data/String to DataFrame in Spark.


Hi Friends,

Today, I'd like to show that how we can convert a json data to DataFrame for further use.
This is a very simple and small use case, but it can be helpful for learners.


Input Json String :  {"file_name":"test_20200202122754.json","object_class":"Monitor","object_class_instance":"Monitor","relation_tree":"Source~>HD_Info~>Monitor","Monitor":{"Index":"0","Vendor_Data":"58F5Y","Monitor_Type":"Lenovo Monitor","HInfoID":"650FEC74"}}

Expected Output DataFrame :

Below is code for the same :

 import org.apache.spark.{SparkConf, SparkContext}
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession


 object ConvertJsonToDataFrame extends App {

   //Creating SparkSession
  lazy val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("json-to-DataFrame").set("spark.default.parallelism", "2")
    .setIfMissing("spark.master", "local[*]")
  lazy val sparkSession = SparkSession.builder().config(conf).getOrCreate()
  lazy val sparkContext: SparkContext = sparkSession.sparkContext
  import sparkSession.implicits._

   //Raw Json Data to test
  val jsonStr = """{"file_name":"test_20200202122754.json","object_class":"Monitor","object_class_instance":"Monitor","relation_tree":"Source~>HD_Info~>Monitor","Monitor":{"Index":"0","Vendor_Data":"58F5Y","Monitor_Type":"Lenovo Monitor","HInfoID":"650FEC74"}}"""

   //Loading the Json Data to create a DataFrame
  val jsonDF = sparkSession.read.json(Seq(jsonStr).toDS)

   jsonDF.show(false)

   //Fetch all the Column;s Value and Drop the Nested Column after extract it.
  val getAllColumns = jsonDF.select($"*", $"Monitor.*").drop("Monitor")
  getAllColumns.show(false)

 }




Highlighted Output as expected :

Transformations and Actions in Spark

Image
Hello Friends, Today I’ll try to explain about Transformations and Actions in Spark. We know that Basically, Spark  RDD supports two types of Operations :          ·    Transformations          ·    Actions Transformations : Transformations are kind of operations which will transform our RDD data from one form to another form, and when we apply this operation on any RDD, we get a new RDD with transformed data   as RDDs in Spark are immutable. Operations like map, flatMap, filter, join, union are transformations. Now there is a point to be noted here and that is when we apply the transformation on any RDD it will not perform the operation immediately. It creates a DAG(Directed Acyclic Graph) using the applied operations, source RDD and functions used for transformation. And it keeps on building this graph using the references till we apply any action operation on the last lined up R...

Hi Friends, In this post, I'd like to explain that how to handle and convert the date format in expected date format. Below I'm providing few examples : 1. Change Date format to yyyy-mm-dd from dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy : Input Date :  03-04-2020T15:26:51+05:30 Converted Output : 2020-04-03T15:26:051 Code to get the same output : def changeDateFormat (inputDateString: String ) = { var convertedDateFormat = "" try { val inputDateFormat: SimpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd-MM-yyyy'T'HH:mm:sss" ) val date = inputDateFormat.parse(inputDateString) val df = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:sss" ) convertedDateFormat = df.format(date) } catch { case ex: Exception => { "Exception is : " + ex } logger .info( "[HandleDateTimeUtils] Exception while converting time to 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:sss' Format.
