Accessing rows of a row in Spark

Hi spark users,

Do you know how to access rows of row?

I have a SchemaRDD called user and register it as a table with the
following schema:

root
 |-- user_id: string (nullable = true)
 |-- item: array (nullable = true)
 |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = false)
 |    |    |-- item_id: string (nullable = true)
 |    |    |-- name: string (nullable = true)


val items=sqlContext.sql("select items from user where user_id = 1").first

The type of items is org.apache.spark.sql.Row. I want to iterate through
the items and count how many items that user_id = 1 has.

I could not find a method in which I can do that. The farthest I can get to
is to convert items.toSeq. The type information I got back is:

scala> items.toSeq
res57: Seq[Any] = [WrappedArray([1,orange],[2,apple])]

Any suggestion?

Best Regards,

Jerry

Looks like you've got one more layer of containment than you intend -- i.e.
you've got Row[WrappedArray[Row[(Int, String)]] where you want
Row[Row[(Int, String)]].  That's easy to do if somewhere along the line you
did something like `val row = Row(collection)` instead of `val row =
Row.fromSeq(collection)`.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for helping out.

The items I got back from Spark SQL has the type information as follows:

scala> items
res16: org.apache.spark.sql.Row = [WrappedArray([1,orange],[2,apple])]

I tried to iterate the items as you suggested but no luck.

Best Regards,

Jerry

scala> val items = Row(1 -> "orange", 2 -> "apple")

items: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.Row =
[(1,orange),(2,apple)]


If you literally want an iterator, then this:


scala> items.toIterator.count { case (user_id, name) => user_id == 1 }

res0: Int = 1


...else:


scala> items.count { case (user_id, name) => user_id == 1 }

res1: Int = 1
