Am trying to compare a column in spark DataFrame against a given date, if column date is less than given date add n hour else add x hours.
something like
addhours = lambda x,y: X + 14hrs if (x < y) else X + 10hrs
where y will hold a static date specified then apply on DataFrame column
something like
df = df.withColumn("newDate", checkDate(df.Time, F.lit('2015-01-01') ))
here is sample for df
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
import datetime
df = spark.createDataFrame([('America/NewYork', '2020-02-01 10:00:00'),('Africa/Nairobi', '2020-02-01 10:00:00')],["OriginTz", "Time"])
Am bit new to spark dataframes :)
Use when+othewise statement instead of udf.
Example:
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
#we are casting to timestamp and date so that we can compare in when
df = spark.createDataFrame([('America/NewYork', '2020-02-01 10:00:00'),('Africa/Nairobi', '2003-02-01 10:00:00')],["OriginTz", "Time"]).\
withColumn("literal",F.lit('2015-01-01').cast("date")).\
withColumn("Time",F.col("Time").cast("timestamp"))
df.show()
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+
#| OriginTz| Time| literal|
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+
#|America/NewYork|2020-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|
#| Africa/Nairobi|2003-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+
#using unix_timestamp function converting to epoch time then adding 10*3600 -> 10 hrs finally converting to timestamp format
df.withColumn("new_date",F.when(F.col("Time") > F.col("literal"),F.to_timestamp(F.unix_timestamp(F.col("Time"),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') + 10 * 3600)).\
otherwise(F.to_timestamp(F.unix_timestamp(F.col("Time"),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') + 14 * 3600))).\
show()
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+-------------------+
#| OriginTz| Time| literal| new_date|
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+-------------------+
#|America/NewYork|2020-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|2020-02-01 20:00:00|
#| Africa/Nairobi|2003-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|2003-02-02 00:00:00|

In case if you don't want to add literal value as dataframe column.
lit_val='2015-01-01'
df = spark.createDataFrame([('America/NewYork', '2020-02-01 10:00:00'),('Africa/Nairobi', '2003-02-01 10:00:00')],["OriginTz", "Time"]).\
withColumn("Time",F.col("Time").cast("timestamp"))
df.withColumn("new_date",F.when(F.col("Time") > F.lit(lit_val).cast("date"),F.to_timestamp(F.unix_timestamp(F.col("Time"),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') + 10 * 3600)).\
otherwise(F.to_timestamp(F.unix_timestamp(F.col("Time"),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') + 14 * 3600))).\
show()
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+-------------------+
#| OriginTz| Time| literal| new_date|
#+---------------+-------------------+----------+-------------------+
#|America/NewYork|2020-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|2020-02-01 20:00:00|
#| Africa/Nairobi|2003-02-01 10:00:00|2015-01-01|2003-02-02 00:00:00|
