Tutorial : DataFrame API Functionalities using Spark 1.6

In previous tutorial, we  have explained  about the SparkSQL and DataFrames Operations using Spark 1.6. Now In this tutorial we have covered  DataFrame API Functionalities . And we have provided running example of each functionality for better support. Lets begin the tutorial and discuss about the DataFrame API  Operations using Spark 1.6 .

DataFrame API Example Using Different types of Functionalities

Different type of DataFrame operations are :-

1.Action

2.Basic

3.Operations

Here we are using  JSON document named cars.json with the following content and generate a table based on the schema in the JSON document.

Tutorial : Spark SQL and DataFrames Operations using Spark 1.6

In previous tutorial, we  have explained about Spark Core and RDD functionalities. Now In this tutorial we have covered Spark SQL and DataFrame operation from different source like JSON, Text and CSV data files. And we have provided running example of each functionality for better support. Lets begin the tutorial and discuss about the SparkSQL and DataFrames Operations using Spark 1.6

SparkSQL

Spark SQL is a component on top of Spark Core that introduces a new data abstraction called SchemaRDD, which provides support for structured and semi-structured data. Spark SQL is to execute SQL queries written using either a basic SQL syntax or HiveQL. It can also be used to read data from an existing Hive installation.It provides a programming abstraction called DataFrame and can act as distributed SQL query engine.
