Pyspark group dataframe within time interval


I have a PYSPARK dataframe which is sorted ('timestamp' and 'ship' ascend):

+----------------------+------+
|        timestamp     | ship |
+----------------------+------+
| 2018-08-01 06:01:00  |    1 |
| 2018-08-01 06:01:30  |    1 |
| 2018-08-01 09:00:00  |    1 |
| 2018-08-01 09:00:00  |    2 |
| 2018-08-01 10:15:43  |    2 |
| 2018-08-01 11:00:01  |    3 |
| 2018-08-01 06:00:13  |    4 |
| 2018-08-01 13:00:00  |    4 |
| 2018-08-13 14:00:00  |    5 |
| 2018-08-13 14:15:03  |    5 |
| 2018-08-13 14:45:08  |    5 |
| 2018-08-13 14:50:00  |    5 |
+-----------------------------+

I want to add a new column to the dataframe called 'trip'. A trip is defined as a ship-number which sails within 2 hours from the start of the ship-record in the dataframe. If within the two hours the ship number changes, a new trip number should be added to the dataframe column 'trip'.

Desired output looks like:

+----------------------+------+-------+
|        timestamp     | ship | trip  |
+----------------------+------+-------+
| 2018-08-01 06:01:00  |    1 |    1  | # start new ship number
| 2018-08-01 06:01:30  |    1 |    1  | # still within 2 hours of same ship number
| 2018-08-01 09:00:00  |    1 |    2  | # more than 2 hours of same ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-01 09:00:00  |    2 |    3  | # new ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-01 10:15:43  |    2 |    3  | # still within 2 hours of same ship number
| 2018-08-01 11:00:01  |    3 |    4  | # new ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-01 06:00:13  |    4 |    5  | # new ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-01 13:00:00  |    4 |    6  | # more than 2 hours of same ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-13 14:00:00  |    5 |    7  | # new ship number = new trip
| 2018-08-13 14:15:03  |    5 |    7  | # still within 2 hours of same ship number
| 2018-08-13 14:45:08  |    5 |    7  | # still within 2 hours of same ship number
| 2018-08-13 14:50:00  |    5 |    7  | # still within 2 hours of same ship number
+-----------------------------+-------+

In Pandas it would be done as such:

dt_trip = 2 # time duration trip per ship (in hours)
total_time = df['timestamp'] - df.groupby('name')['timestamp'].transform('min')
trips = total_time.dt.total_seconds().fillna(0)//(dt_trip*3600)
df['trip'] = df.groupby(['name', trips]).ngroup()+1

How would this be done in PYSPARK?


Solution

  • Try this using window functions, row_number(), collect_list(), and an incremental sum over conditions created.

    from pyspark.sql import functions as F
    from pyspark.sql.window import Window
    
    w1=Window().partitionBy("ship").orderBy(F.unix_timestamp("timestamp")).rangeBetween(-7199, Window.currentRow)
    w2=Window().partitionBy("ship").orderBy("timestamp")
    w3=Window().orderBy("ship","timestamp")
    
    df.withColumn("trip", F.sum(F.when(F.row_number().over(w2)==1, F.lit(1))\
                           .when(F.size(F.collect_list("ship").over(w1))==1, F.lit(1))\
                           .otherwise(F.lit(0))).over(w3)).orderBy("ship","timestamp").show()
