groupby().apply() with pandas udf ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR adds an apply() function on df.groupby(). apply() takes a pandas udf that is a transformation on `pandas.DataFrame` -> `pandas.DataFrame`. A quick example: ``` schema = df.schema @pandas_udf(schema) def normalize(pdf): pdf.v1 = (pdf.v1 - pdf.v1.mean()) / pdf.v1.std() return pdf df.groupBy('id').apply(normalize(df)) ``` This Patch consists of multiple parts which can be broken into small PRs: * Arrow RecordBatch -> UnsafeRow conversions in ArrowConverters * pandas_udf in pyspark.sql.functions * FlatMapInPandas plan node to support groupby().apply() The first two parts can be used to implement other pandas udf functions. Design doc: https://github.com/icexelloss/spark/blob/pandas-udf-doc/docs/pyspark-pandas-udf.md ## How was this patch tested? * Arrow RecordBatch -> UnsafeRow conversions is tested with the existing ArrowConverters Suite * groupby().apply() is tested with a new pyspark test You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/icexelloss/spark groupby-apply-SPARK-20396 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18732.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #18732 ---- commit 8f38c15ea372c1ec9c2fefc36c0bfc3a22c3be14 Author: Li Jin <ice.xell...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-07-25T15:37:39Z Initial commit of groupby apply with pandas udf ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
