I hope that you might help me :-)

I have a dataframe with posted advert .
I want, for each id of advert to count the number of advert posted in the 2 month preceding this one, by the same email.

I created the dataframe below to explain things better:

var df = sc.parallelize(Array(

(1,  "2017-06-29 10:53:53.0","boulanger.fr" ,"2017-06-28","2017-04-29"), 

(2,  "2017-07-05 10:48:57.0","patissier.fr","2017-07-04","2017-05-05"), 

(3,  "2017-06-28 10:31:42.0","boulanger.fr" ,"2017-08-16","2017-06-17"), 

(4,  "2017-08-21 17:31:12.0","patissier.fr","2017-08-20","2017-06-21"), 

(5,  "2017-07-28 11:22:42.0","boulanger.fr" ,"2017-08-22","2017-06-23"), 

(6,  "2017-08-23 17:03:43.0","patissier.fr","2017-08-22","2017-06-23"), 

(7,  "2017-08-24 16:08:07.0","boulanger.fr" ,"2017-08-23","2017-06-24"), 

(8,  "2017-08-31 17:20:43.0","patissier.fr","2017-08-30","2017-06-30"), 

(9,  "2017-09-04 14:35:38.0","boulanger.fr" ,"2017-09-03","2017-07-04"), 

(10, "2017-09-07 15:10:34.0","patissier.fr","2017-09-06","2017-07-07"))).toDF("id_advert", "creation_date",

    "email", "date_minus1","date_minus2m")



df = df.withColumn("date_minus1", to_date(unix_timestamp($"date_minus1", "yyyy-MM-dd").cast("timestamp")))  

df = df.withColumn("date_minus2", to_date(unix_timestamp($"date_minus2", "yyyy-MM-dd").cast("timestamp"))) 

df = df.withColumn("date_crecreation", (unix_timestamp($"creation_date", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").cast("timestamp")))

• date_minus1 = the day before the advert was posted


• date_minus2m = 2 month before the advert was posted

I want to count the number of advert, with the same email, between those 2 dates...

What I want as a result is:

+---------+----------------+

|id_advert|nb_prev_advert  |

+---------+----------------+

|6        |2               |

|3        |3               |

|5        |3               |

|9        |2               |

|4        |1               |

|8        |3               |

|7        |3               |

|10       |3               |

+--------+-----------------+

I manage to do that with an awfull join from the dataframe by itself but as I have millions of lines it took almost 2 hours to run...

I am sur the we can do something like:

val w = Window.partitionBy("id_advert").orderBy("creation_date").rowsBetween(-50000000, -1)

And use it to go across the dataframe and count only row with

• email of the row = email of the current_row


• date_minus2m of the row< date creation of the current row < date_minus1 of the row

Adding this as different answer because it is different

Input:

df.select("*").orderBy("email","creation_date").show()



+---------+--------------------+------------+----+

|id_advert|       creation_date|       email|sold|

+---------+--------------------+------------+----+

|        1|2015-06-29 10:53:...|boulanger.fr|   1|

|        5|2015-07-28 11:22:...|boulanger.fr|   0|

|        3|2017-06-28 10:31:...|boulanger.fr|   1|

|        7|2017-08-24 16:08:...|boulanger.fr|   1|

|        9|2017-09-04 14:35:...|boulanger.fr|   1|

|       10|2012-09-07 15:10:...|patissier.fr|   0|

|        8|2014-08-31 17:20:...|patissier.fr|   1|

|        2|2016-07-05 10:48:...|patissier.fr|   1|

|        4|2017-08-21 17:31:...|patissier.fr|   0|

|        6|2017-08-23 17:03:...|patissier.fr|   0|

+---------+--------------------+------------+----+

Now you define your window spec as something like this

val w = Window.

          partitionBy("email").

          orderBy(col("creation_date"). 

          cast("timestamp").

          cast("long")).rangeBetween(-60*24*60*60,-1)

And the main query will be:

df.

  select(

      col("*"),count("email").over(w).alias("all_prev_mail_advert"), 

      sum("sold").over(w).alias("all_prev_sold_mail_advert")

  ).orderBy("email","creation_date").show()

Output:

+---------+--------------------+------------+----+--------------------+-------------------------+

|id_advert|       creation_date|       email|sold|all_prev_mail_advert|all_prev_sold_mail_advert|

+---------+--------------------+------------+----+--------------------+-------------------------+

|        1|2015-06-29 10:53:...|boulanger.fr|   1|                   0|                     null|

|        5|2015-07-28 11:22:...|boulanger.fr|   0|                   1|                        1|

|        3|2017-06-28 10:31:...|boulanger.fr|   1|                   0|                     null|

|        7|2017-08-24 16:08:...|boulanger.fr|   1|                   1|                        1|

|        9|2017-09-04 14:35:...|boulanger.fr|   1|                   1|                        1|

|       10|2012-09-07 15:10:...|patissier.fr|   0|                   0|                     null|

|        8|2014-08-31 17:20:...|patissier.fr|   1|                   0|                     null|

|        2|2016-07-05 10:48:...|patissier.fr|   1|                   0|                     null|

|        4|2017-08-21 17:31:...|patissier.fr|   0|                   0|                     null|

|        6|2017-08-23 17:03:...|patissier.fr|   0|                   1|                        0|

Explanation:

We are defining a window function for the last two months partitioned by email. And the count over this window gives all the previous advert for the same email.

And to get all the previous sold advert we are simply adding the sold column over the same window. As sold is 1 for sold item, the sum gives the count of all the sold item over this window.

Here is the answer with using Window with a range

Create a window spec with range between current and past sixty days

val w = Window

          .partitionBy(col("email"))

          .orderBy(col("creation_date").cast("timestamp").cast("long"))

          .rangeBetween(-60*86400,-1)

Then select it over your data frame

df

 .select(col("*"),count("email").over(w).alias("trailing_count"))

 .orderBy("email","creation_date") //using this for display purpose 

 .show()

Note: Your expected output might be wrong. One, there would be at least a zero for a advert because something must be starting row for a mail. Also, count for advertid 3 seems wrong.

Input Data :

df.select("id_advert","creation_date","email").orderBy("email", "creation_date").show()

|id_advert|       creation_date|       email|

As it impossible to structure correctly a comment I will use the answer button but it is actually more a question than an answer.

I simplify the problem thinking that with your answer I might be able to do what I want to do but I am not sure to understand correclty your answer...

How does it work? To me:

• if I do .rangeBetween(-3,-1) I will use a window which look 3 line before the current line to one line before the current line. But here it seems that rangeBetween is refering to the orderby variable and not the number total of lines..???


• if I do "partitionBy(col("email"))" I should have one line by email but here i still get oneline by advert_id...

What I really want to do is count respectively, the number of sold item and the number of un-sold items in the 2 months preceding the advert post date, by the same email.

Is it an easy way to use what you did and apply it to my real issue?

My dataframe look like this:

var df = sc.parallelize(Array(

(1,  "2015-06-29 10:53:53.0","boulanger.fr", 1),

(2,  "2016-07-05 10:48:57.0","patissier.fr", 1),

(3,  "2017-06-28 10:31:42.0","boulanger.fr", 1),

(4,  "2017-08-21 17:31:12.0","patissier.fr", 0),

(5,  "2015-07-28 11:22:42.0","boulanger.fr", 0),

(6,  "2017-08-23 17:03:43.0","patissier.fr", 0),

(7,  "2017-08-24 16:08:07.0","boulanger.fr", 1),

(8,  "2014-08-31 17:20:43.0","patissier.fr", 1),

(9,  "2017-09-04 14:35:38.0","boulanger.fr", 1),

(10, "2012-09-07 15:10:34.0","patissier.fr", 0))).toDF("id_advert", "creation_date","email", "sold")

For each id_advert I would like to have 2 lines. One for the number of sold items and one for the number of un-sold items...

Thank you in advance!!! If it is not possible for you to unswer I will do it in a more durty way ;-).
