Re: DataFrame defined within conditional IF ELSE statement

[Silvio Fiorito]

Hi Mich,

That’s because df2 is only within scope in the if statements.

Try this:

val df = option match {
  case 1 => {
    println("option = 1")
    val df = spark.read.option("header", 
false).csv("hdfs://rhes564:9000/data/prices/prices.*")
    val df2 = df.map(p => columns(p(0).toString.toInt,p(1).toString, 
p(2).toString,p(3).toString))
    df2
  }
  case 2 => spark.table("test.marketData").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)
  case 3 => 
spark.table("test.marketDataParquet").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)
  case _ => sys.err(“no valid option provided”)
}

df.printSchema()


Thanks,
Silvio

Subject: DataFrame defined within conditional IF ELSE statement

In Spark 2 this gives me an error in a conditional  IF ELSE statement

I recall seeing the same in standard SQL

I am doing a test for different sources (text file, ORC or Parquet) to be read 
in dependent on value of var option

I wrote this

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._
import java.util.Calendar
import org.joda.time._
var option = 1
val today = new DateTime()
val minutes = -15
val  minutesago =  today.plusMinutes(minutes).toString.toString.substring(11,19)
val date = java.time.LocalDate.now.toString
val hour = java.time.LocalTime.now.toString
case class columns(INDEX: Int, TIMECREATED: String, SECURITY: String, PRICE: 
String)

if(option == 1 ) {
   println("option = 1")
   val df = spark.read.option("header", 
false).csv("hdfs://rhes564:9000/data/prices/prices.*")
   val df2 = df.map(p => columns(p(0).toString.toInt,p(1).toString, 
p(2).toString,p(3).toString))
   df2.printSchema
} else if (option == 2) {
    val df2 = 
spark.table("test.marketData").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)
} else if (option == 3) {
    val df2 = 
spark.table("test.marketDataParquet").select('TIMECREATED,'SECURITY,'PRICE)
} else {
    println("no valid option provided")
    sys.exit(0)
}

With option 1 selected it goes through and shows this

option = 1
root
 |-- INDEX: integer (nullable = true)
 |-- TIMECREATED: string (nullable = true)
 |-- SECURITY: string (nullable = true)
 |-- PRICE: string (nullable = true)

But when I try to do df2.printSchema OUTSEDE of the LOOP, it comes back with 
error

scala> df2.printSchema
<console>:31: error: not found: value df2
       df2.printSchema
       ^
I can define a stud df2 before IF ELSE statement. Is that the best way of 
dealing with it?

Thanks
