I want to get the maximum length from each column from a pyspark dataframe.
Following is the sample dataframe:
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType,StructField, StringType, IntegerType
data2 = [("James","","Smith","36636","M",3000),
("Michael","Rose","","40288","M",4000),
("Robert","","Williams","42114","M",4000),
("Maria","Anne","Jones","39192","F",4000),
("Jen","Mary","Brown","","F",-1)
]
schema = StructType([ \
StructField("firstname",StringType(),True), \
StructField("middlename",StringType(),True), \
StructField("lastname",StringType(),True), \
StructField("id", StringType(), True), \
StructField("gender", StringType(), True), \
StructField("salary", IntegerType(), True) \
])
df = spark.createDataFrame(data=data2,schema=schema)
