sdf_mutate {sparklyr} | R Documentation

## Mutate a Spark DataFrame

### Description

Use Spark's feature transformers to mutate a Spark DataFrame.

### Usage

    sdf_mutate(.data, ...)

    sdf_mutate_(.data, ..., .dots)

### Arguments

`.data` | A `spark_tbl`.
`...` | Named arguments, mapping new column names to the transformation to be applied.
`.dots` | A named list, mapping output names to transformations.

### Transforming Spark DataFrames

The family of functions prefixed with `sdf_` generally access the Scala Spark DataFrame API directly, as opposed to the `dplyr` interface which uses Spark SQL. These functions will 'force' any pending SQL in a `dplyr` pipeline, such that the resulting `tbl_spark` object returned will no longer have the attached 'lazy' SQL operations. Note that the underlying Spark DataFrame does execute its operations lazily, so that even though the pending set of operations (currently) are not exposed at the R level, these operations will only be executed when you explicitly `collect()` the table.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    # using the 'beaver1' dataset, binarize the 'temp' column
    data(beavers, package = "datasets")
    beaver_tbl <- copy_to(sc, beaver1, "beaver")
    beaver_tbl %>%
      mutate(squared = temp ^ 2) %>%
      sdf_mutate(warm = ft_binarizer(squared, 1000)) %>%
      sdf_register("mutated")

    # view our newly constructed tbl
    head(beaver_tbl)

    # note that we have two separate tbls registered
    dplyr::src_tbls(sc)
