Hi Interesting problem :) And this is where my knowledge is limited. But what I understand is this is a clustering problem of names. You may want to find a bunch of names belongs to same group by doing say distance between them. Spark supports few clustering algorithm under mllib.
Love to know other opinions about getting this done. After all we all asking the same question, don't we :) On 1 Aug 2016 00:36, "Mich Talebzadeh" <mich.talebza...@gmail.com> wrote: > Many thanks > > This is a challenge of some sort. > > I did this for my own work. > > I downloaded my bank account for the past few years as a CSV format and > loaded into Hive ORC table with databricks stuff. > > All tables are transactional and bucketed. > > A typical row looks like this (they vary from bank to bank) > > hive> desc ll_18740868; > transactiondate date > transactiontype string > sortcode string > accountnumber string > transactiondescription string > debitamount double > creditamount double > balance double > > The columns I am interested are > > transactiondate date > transactiontype string > transactiondescription string > debitamount double > > Basically paying by Debit Card means I need to look at transactiontype = > 'DEB'.
