How to use map() function In Python
In this article, we are going to use the map() function to find the current number of partitions of a DataFrame which is used to get the length of each partition of the data frame.
Stepwise Implementation:
Step 1: First of all, import the required libraries, i.e. SparkSession. The SparkSession library is used to create the session.
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
Step 2: Now, create a spark session using the getOrCreate function.
spark_session = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
Step 3: Later on, create the Spark Context Session.
sc = spark_session.sparkContext
Step 4: Then, read the CSV file of which we want to know the number of partitions or enter the dataset with the number of partitions you want to do of that dataset.
data_frame=csv_file = spark_session.read.csv('#Path of CSV file', sep = ',', inferSchema = True, header = True)
or
num_partitions = #Declare number of partitions to be done data_frame = sc.parallelize(#Declare the dataset, num_partitions)
Step 5: Further, get the length of each partition of the data frame using glom() and map() function.
l=data_frame.glom().map(len).collect()
Step 6: Finally, obtain the current number of partitions using the length function on the list obtained in the previous step.
print(len(l))
Example:
In this example, we have declared a dataset and the number of partitions to be done on it. Then, we applied the glom and map function on the data set and checked if we get the appropriate number of partitions which we did on the data set.
Python3
# Python program to get length of each partition # of data frame using glom and map function # Import the SparkSession library from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # Create a spark session using getOrCreate() function spark_session = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate() # Create a SparkContext sc = spark_session.sparkContext # Declare the number of partitions # we want to do of data set num_partitions = 10 # Declare the data set along # with the number of partitions data_frame = sc.parallelize( range ( int ( 100 )), num_partitions) # Get length of each partition of data # frame using glom and map function l = data_frame.glom(). map ( len ).collect() # Get current number of partitions using len function print ( len (l)) |
Output:
10
Get current number of partitions of a DataFrame – Pyspark
In this article, we are going to learn how to get the current number of partitions of a data frame using Pyspark in Python.
In many cases, we need to know the number of partitions in large data frames. Sometimes we have partitioned the data and we need to verify if it has been correctly partitioned or not. There are various methods to get the current number of partitions of a data frame using Pyspark in Python.
Prerequisite
Note: In the article about installing Pyspark we have to install python instead of scala rest of the steps are the same.
Modules Required
Pyspark: The API which was introduced to support Spark and Python language and has features of Scikit-learn and Pandas libraries of Python is known as Pyspark. This module can be installed through the following command in Python:
pip install pyspark
