class DataFrame extends Logging

Represents a lazily-evaluated relational dataset that contains a collection of Row objects with columns defined by a schema (column name and type).

A DataFrame is considered lazy because it encapsulates the computation or query required to produce a relational dataset. The computation is not performed until you call a method that performs an action (e.g. collect ).

Creating a DataFrame

You can create a DataFrame in a number of different ways, as shown in the examples below.

Example 1: Creating a DataFrame by reading a table.

val dfPrices = session.table("itemsdb.publicschema.prices")

Example 2: Creating a DataFrame by reading files from a stage.

val dfCatalog = session.read.csv("@stage/some_dir")

Example 3: Creating a DataFrame by specifying a sequence or a range.

val df = session.createDataFrame(Seq((1, "one"), (2, "two")))
val df = session.range(1, 10, 2)

Example 4: Create a new DataFrame by applying transformations to other existing DataFrames.

val dfMergedData = dfCatalog.join(dfPrices, dfCatalog("itemId") === dfPrices("ID"))

Performing operations on a DataFrame

Broadly, the operations on DataFrame can be divided into two types:

  • Transformations produce a new DataFrame from one or more existing DataFrames. Note that tranformations are lazy and don't cause the DataFrame to be evaluated. If the API does not provide a method to express the SQL that you want to use, you can use functions.sqlExpr as a workaround.
  • Actions cause the DataFrame to be evaluated. When you call a method that performs an action, Snowpark sends the SQL query for the DataFrame to the server for evaluation.

Transforming a DataFrame

The following examples demonstrate how you can transform a DataFrame.

Example 5. Using the select method to select the columns that should be in the DataFrame (similar to adding a SELECT clause).

// Return a new DataFrame containing the ID and amount columns of the prices table. This is
// equivalent to:
//   SELECT ID, AMOUNT FROM PRICES;
val dfPriceIdsAndAmounts = dfPrices.select(col("ID"), col("amount"))

Example 6. Using the Column.as method to rename a column in a DataFrame (similar to using SELECT col AS alias ).

// Return a new DataFrame containing the ID column of the prices table as a column named
// itemId. This is equivalent to:
//   SELECT ID AS itemId FROM PRICES;
val dfPriceItemIds = dfPrices.select(col("ID").as("itemId"))

Example 7. Using the filter method to filter data (similar to adding a WHERE clause).

// Return a new DataFrame containing the row from the prices table with the ID 1. This is
// equivalent to:
//   SELECT * FROM PRICES WHERE ID = 1;
val dfPrice1 = dfPrices.filter((col("ID") === 1))

Example 8. Using the sort method to specify the sort order of the data (similar to adding an ORDER BY clause).

// Return a new DataFrame for the prices table with the rows sorted by ID. This is equivalent
// to:
//   SELECT * FROM PRICES ORDER BY ID;
val dfSortedPrices = dfPrices.sort(col("ID"))

Example 9. Using the groupBy method to return a RelationalGroupedDataFrame that you can use to group and aggregate results (similar to adding a GROUP BY clause).

RelationalGroupedDataFrame provides methods for aggregating results, including:

  • avg (equivalent to AVG(column))
  • count (equivalent to COUNT())
  • max (equivalent to MAX(column))
  • median (equivalent to MEDIAN(column))
  • min (equivalent to MIN(column))
  • sum (equivalent to SUM(column))
// Return a new DataFrame for the prices table that computes the sum of the prices by
// category. This is equivalent to:
//   SELECT CATEGORY, SUM(AMOUNT) FROM PRICES GROUP BY CATEGORY;
val dfTotalPricePerCategory = dfPrices.groupBy(col("category")).sum(col("amount"))

Example 10. Using a Window to build a WindowSpec object that you can use for windowing functions (similar to using '<function> OVER ... PARTITION BY ... ORDER BY').

// Define a window that partitions prices by category and sorts the prices by date within the
// partition.
val window = Window.partitionBy(col("category")).orderBy(col("price_date"))
// Calculate the running sum of prices over this window. This is equivalent to:
//   SELECT CATEGORY, PRICE_DATE, SUM(AMOUNT) OVER
//       (PARTITION BY CATEGORY ORDER BY PRICE_DATE)
//       FROM PRICES ORDER BY PRICE_DATE;
val dfCumulativePrices = dfPrices.select(
    col("category"), col("price_date"),
    sum(col("amount")).over(window)).sort(col("price_date"))

Performing an action on a DataFrame

The following examples demonstrate how you can perform an action on a DataFrame.

Example 11: Performing a query and returning an array of Rows.

val results = dfPrices.collect()

Example 12: Performing a query and print the results.

dfPrices.show()

    The following example calculates the maximum value of the num_sales column and the mean value of the price column:

    For example:

    import com.snowflake.snowpark.functions._
    
    val dfAgg = df.agg(Array(max($"num_sales"), mean($"price")))

    Flattens (explodes) compound values into multiple rows (similar to the SQL FLATTEN function).

    The flatten method adds the following columns to the returned DataFrame:

    • SEQ
    • KEY

    If this DataFrame also has columns with the names above, you can disambiguate the columns by using the this("value") syntax.

    val table1 = session.sql(
      "select parse_json(value) as value from values('[1,2]') as T(value)")
    val flattened = table1.flatten(table1("value"), "", outer = false,
      recursive = false, "both")
    flattened.select(table1("value"), flattened("value").as("newValue")).show()
    input

    The expression that will be unseated into rows. The expression must be of data type VARIANT, OBJECT, or ARRAY.

    path

    The path to the element within a VARIANT data structure which needs to be flattened. Can be a zero-length string (i.e. empty path) if the outermost element is to be flattened.

    outer

    If FALSE, any input rows that cannot be expanded, either because they cannot be accessed in the path or because they have zero fields or entries, are completely omitted from the output. Otherwise, exactly one row is generated for zero-row expansions (with NULL in the KEY, INDEX, and VALUE columns).

    recursive

    If FALSE, only the element referenced by PATH is expanded. Otherwise, the expansion is performed for all sub-elements recursively.

  47. def flatten ( input: Column ) : DataFrame

    Flattens (explodes) compound values into multiple rows (similar to the SQL FLATTEN function).

    Flattens (explodes) compound values into multiple rows (similar to the SQL FLATTEN function).

    The flatten method adds the following columns to the returned DataFrame:

    • SEQ
    • KEY
    • PATH
    • INDEX
    • VALUE
    • THIS

    If this DataFrame also has columns with the names above, you can disambiguate the columns by using the this("value") syntax.

    For example, if the current DataFrame has a column named value :

    val table1 = session.sql(
      "select parse_json(value) as value from values('[1,2]') as T(value)")
    val flattened = table1.flatten(table1("value"))
    flattened.select(table1("value"), flattened("value").as("newValue")).show()
    input

    The expression that will be unseated into rows. The expression must be of data type VARIANT, OBJECT, or ARRAY.

    returns

    A DataFrame containing the flattened values.

    Performs a join of the specified type ( joinType ) with the current DataFrame and another DataFrame ( right ) using the join condition specified in an expression ( joinExpr ).

    To disambiguate columns with the same name in the left DataFrame and right DataFrame, use the apply or col method of each DataFrame ( df("col") or df.col("col") ). You can use this approach to disambiguate columns in the joinExprs parameter and to refer to columns in the returned DataFrame.

    For example:

    val dfJoin = df1.join(df2, df1("a") === df2("b"), "left")
    val dfJoin2 = df1.join(df2, df1("a") === df2("b") && df1("c" === df2("d"), "outer")

    val dfJoined = df.join(df, df("a") === df("b"), joinType) // Column references are ambiguous
