I am using spark 3.1 and trying to read a JSON file
I have defined the schema for below file as:
StructType([
StructField('search_metadata', MapType(StringType(),StringType())),
StructField('search_parameters', MapType(StringType(),StringType())),
StructField('search_information', MapType(StringType(),StringType())),
StructField('local_results',StructType([
StructField('position', StringType(), True),
StructField('title', StringType(), True),
StructField('place_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_cid', StringType(), True),
StructField('reviews_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('photos_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('gps_coordinates', MapType(StringType(),StringType()), True),
StructField('place_id_search', StringType(), True),
StructField('unclaimed_listing', BinaryType(), True),
StructField('type', StringType(), True),
StructField('address', StringType(), True),
StructField('open_state', StringType(), True),
StructField('hours', StringType(), True),
StructField('phone', MapType(StringType(),StringType()), True),
StructField('thumbnail', StringType(), True),
]), True),
StructField('serpapi_pagination',MapType(StringType(),StringType())),
StructField('search_query', StringType(), True),
])
And my JSON file is:

I am trying to select
some rows as below, but I am getting null values, I am assuming there is an issue with my schema definition.
df = df.select(col('local_results'),
col('local_results.position').alias('position'),
col('local_results.title').alias('title'))
df.show()
Can someone help me to correct the schema and show the results?
CodePudding user response:
You can try reading the file without schema like this:
df = spark.read.option('multiline', 'true').json('file.json')
Then the select will work:
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df = df.select(F.col('local_results'),
F.col('local_results.position').alias('position'),
F.col('local_results.title').alias('title'))
df.show()
# -------------------- -------- --------------------
# | local_results|position| title|
# -------------------- -------- --------------------
# |[{260 America Pl ...| [1, 2]|[WH International...|
# -------------------- -------- --------------------
Schemas
Using spark.read.option('multiline', 'true').json('file.json')
, this schema is created:
StructType([
StructField('local_results', ArrayType(StructType([
StructField('address', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_cid', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('gps_coordinates', StructType([
StructField('latitude', DoubleType(), True),
StructField('longitude', DoubleType(), True)
]), True),
StructField('hours', StringType(), True),
StructField('open_state', StringType(), True),
StructField('operating_hours', StructType([
StructField('friday', StringType(), True),
StructField('monday', StringType(), True),
StructField('saturday', StringType(), True),
StructField('sunday', StringType(), True),
StructField('thursday', StringType(), True),
StructField('tuesday', StringType(), True),
StructField('wednesday', StringType(), True)
]), True),
StructField('phone', StringType(), True),
StructField('photos_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('place_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('place_id_search', StringType(), True),
StructField('position', LongType(), True),
StructField('reviews_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('thumbnail', StringType(), True),
StructField('title', StringType(), True),
StructField('type', StringType(), True),
StructField('unclaimed_listing', BooleanType(), True),
StructField('website', StringType(), True)
]), True), True),
StructField('search_information', StructType([
StructField('local_results_state', StringType(), True),
StructField('query_displayed', StringType(), True)
]), True),
StructField('search_metadata', StructType([
StructField('created_at', StringType(), True),
StructField('google_maps_url', StringType(), True),
StructField('id', StringType(), True),
StructField('json_endpoint', StringType(), True),
StructField('processed_at', StringType(), True),
StructField('raw_html_file', StringType(), True),
StructField('status', StringType(), True),
StructField('total_time_taken', DoubleType(), True)
]), True),
StructField('search_parameters', StructType([
StructField('engine', StringType(), True),
StructField('google_domain', StringType(), True),
StructField('hl', StringType(), True),
StructField('q', StringType(), True),
StructField('type', StringType(), True)
]), True),
StructField('search_query', StringType(), True),
StructField('serpapi_pagination', StructType([
StructField('next', StringType(), True)
]), True)
])
You can extract it using df.schema
.
It is different from yours, because you also have some map type columns in your schema. If you need map columns, you can do it.
The following schema would also work:
schema = StructType([
StructField('local_results', ArrayType(StructType([
StructField('address', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_cid', StringType(), True),
StructField('data_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('gps_coordinates', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('hours', StringType(), True),
StructField('open_state', StringType(), True),
StructField('operating_hours', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('phone', StringType(), True),
StructField('photos_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('place_id', StringType(), True),
StructField('place_id_search', StringType(), True),
StructField('position', LongType(), True),
StructField('reviews_link', StringType(), True),
StructField('thumbnail', StringType(), True),
StructField('title', StringType(), True),
StructField('type', StringType(), True),
StructField('unclaimed_listing', BooleanType(), True),
StructField('website', StringType(), True)
]), True), True),
StructField('search_information', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_metadata', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_parameters', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_query', StringType(), True),
StructField('serpapi_pagination', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True)
])
df = spark.read.option('multiline', 'true').json('file.json', schema)
For full flattening even the following would work:
schema = StructType([
StructField('local_results', ArrayType(MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True), True),
StructField('search_information', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_metadata', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_parameters', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True),
StructField('search_query', StringType(), True),
StructField('serpapi_pagination', MapType(StringType(), StringType()), True)
])
df = spark.read.option('multiline', 'true').json('file.json', schema)
Result:
df.show(truncate=0)

But since all map values are forced to be strings, the inner objects cannot become maps. E.g. gps_coordinates
result after the full flattening would look like this:
gps_coordinates -> {"latitude":38.295865,"longitude":-85.73001099999999}
