[jira] [Created] (SPARK-36554) Error message while trying to use spark functions directly on dataframe columns without using select expression

Lekshmi Ramachandran created SPARK-36554:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Error message while trying to use spark functions directly on dataframe columns without using select expression
                 Key: SPARK-36554
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-36554
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation, Examples, PySpark
    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
            Reporter: Lekshmi Ramachandran


The below code generates a dataframe successfully . Here make_date function is used inside a select expression

 

from pyspark.sql.functions import  expr, sum as sum_, max as max_

df = spark.createDataFrame([(2020, 6, 26), (1000, 2, 29), (-44, 1, 1)],['Y', 'M', 'D'])

df.select("*",expr("make_date(Y,M,D) as lk")).show()

 

The below code fails with a message "cannot import name 'make_date' from 'pyspark.sql.functions'" . Here the make_date function is directly called on dataframe columns without select expression

 

from pyspark.sql.functions import expr, make_date

df = spark.createDataFrame([(2020, 6, 26), (1000, 2, 29), (-44, 1, 1)],['Y', 'M', 'D'])

df.select(make_date(df.Y,df.M,df.D).alias("datefield")).show()
