collect_list()是否保持行的相对顺序? [英] Does collect_list() maintain relative ordering of rows?

问题描述

想象一下我有以下DataFrame df:

Imagine that I have the following DataFrame df:

+---+-----------+------------+
| id|featureName|featureValue|
+---+-----------+------------+
|id1|          a|           3|
|id1|          b|           4|
|id2|          a|           2|
|id2|          c|           5|
|id3|          d|           9|
+---+-----------+------------+

想象一下我跑步:

df.groupBy("id")
  .agg(collect_list($"featureIndex").as("idx"),
       collect_list($"featureValue").as("val"))

我保证，"idx"和"val"将被汇总并保持其相对顺序吗?即

Am I GUARANTEED that "idx" and "val" will be aggregated and keep their relative order? i.e.

GOOD                   GOOD                   BAD
+---+------+------+    +---+------+------+    +---+------+------+
| id|   idx|   val|    | id|   idx|   val|    | id|   idx|   val|
+---+------+------+    +---+------+------+    +---+------+------+
|id3|   [d]|   [9]|    |id3|   [d]|   [9]|    |id3|   [d]|   [9]|
|id1|[a, b]|[3, 4]|    |id1|[b, a]|[4, 3]|    |id1|[a, b]|[4, 3]|
|id2|[a, c]|[2, 5]|    |id2|[c, a]|[5, 2]|    |id2|[a, c]|[5, 2]|
+---+------+------+    +---+------+------+    +---+------+------+

注意:例如这是错误的，因为对于id1 [a，b]应该已经与[3，4](而不是[4，3])相关联.与id2相同

NOTE: e.g. It's BAD because for id1 [a, b] should have been associated with [3, 4] (and not [4, 3]). Same for id2

推荐答案

我认为您可以依赖它们的相对顺序" ，因为Spark依次逐行遍历行(和通常(如果没有明确要求，则不会对行进行重新排序).

I think you can rely on "their relative order" as Spark goes over rows one by one in order (and usually does not re-order rows if not explicitly needed).

如果您担心订单，请使用

If you are concerned with the order, merge these two columns using struct function before doing groupBy.

struct(colName:String，colNames:String *):列创建一个由多个输入列组成的新struct列.

struct(colName: String, colNames: String*): Column Creates a new struct column that composes multiple input columns.

您还可以使用

You could also use monotonically_increasing_id function to number records and use it to pair with the other columns (perhaps using struct):

monotonically_increasing_id():列一种列表达式，可生成单调递增的64位整数.

monotonically_increasing_id(): Column A column expression that generates monotonically increasing 64-bit integers.

生成的ID可以保证单调递增且唯一，但不能连续.

The generated ID is guaranteed to be monotonically increasing and unique, but not consecutive.
