[jira] [Comment Edited] (DATAFU-148) Setup Spark sub-project

["Russell Jurney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-148?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16849318#comment-16849318 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

Why not have an `activate()` or `initialize()` method and then add these methods to the `DataFrame` class? [`pymongo_spark`](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-hadoop/blob/master/spark/src/main/python/pymongo_spark.py) (part of [mongo-hadoop](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-hadoop)) does this to add methods like `pyspark.sql.DataFrame.saveToMongoDB` which make the API consistent with PySpark's.

See: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-hadoop/tree/master/spark/src/main/python#usage

You use it like this:

{{
import pymongo_spark
pymongo_spark.activate()

...

some_rdd.saveToMongoDB('mongodb://localhost:27017/db.output_collection')}}
}}

And internally it looks like this:

{{
def activate():
    """Activate integration between PyMongo and PySpark.
    This function only needs to be called once.
    """
    # Patch methods in rather than extending these classes.  Many RDD methods
    # result in the creation of a new RDD, whose exact type is beyond our
    # control. However, we would still like to be able to call any of our
    # methods on the resulting RDDs.
    pyspark.rdd.RDD.saveToMongoDB = saveToMongoDB
}}
