python - 使用 UDF 时忽略条件

Question

假设您有以下 pyspark DataFrame:

data= [('foo',), ('123',), (None,), ('bar',)]
df = sqlCtx.createDataFrame(data, ["col"])
df.show()
#+----+
#| col|
#+----+
#| foo|
#| 123|
#|null|
#| bar|
#+----+

接下来的两个代码块应该做同样的事情 - 即，如果列不是 null，则返回该列的大写字母。但是，第二种方法(使用 udf)会产生错误。

方法 1:使用 pyspark.sql.functions.upper()

import pyspark.sql.functions as f
df.withColumn(
    'upper',
    f.when(
        f.isnull(f.col('col')),
        f.col('col')
    ).otherwise(f.upper(f.col('col')))
).show()
#+----+-----+
#| col|upper|
#+----+-----+
#| foo|  FOO|
#| 123|  123|
#|null| null|
#| bar|  BAR|
#+----+-----+

方法 2:在 udf

中使用 str.upper()

df.withColumn(
    'upper',
    f.when(
        f.isnull(f.col('col')),
        f.col('col')
    ).otherwise(f.udf(lambda x: x.upper(), StringType())(f.col('col')))
).show()

这给我 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'upper'。为什么 f.isnull() 检查调用 when 似乎被忽略了？

我知道我可以将 udf 更改为 f.udf(lambda x: x.upper() if x else x, StringType()) 来避免这种情况错误，但我想了解为什么会这样。

Answer 1

您必须记住，Spark SQL(与 RDD 不同)不是所见即所得。优化器/规划器可以任意顺序安排操作，甚至可以多次重复阶段。

Python udfs 不是按Row 应用，而是使用批处理模式。 when 没有那么多被忽略，但不用于优化执行计划:

== Physical Plan ==
*Project [col#0, CASE WHEN isnull(col#0) THEN col#0 ELSE pythonUDF0#21 END AS upper#17]
+- BatchEvalPython [<lambda>(col#0)], [col#0, pythonUDF0#21]
   +- Scan ExistingRDD[col#0]

因此与 udf 一起使用的函数必须对 None 输入具有鲁棒性，例如:

df.withColumn(
    'upper',
    f.udf(
        lambda x: x.upper() if x is not None else None, 
        StringType()
    )(f.col('col'))
).show()
