spark_read_json: Read a JSON file into a Spark DataFrame

In sparklyr: R Interface to Apache Spark

Read a JSON file into a Spark DataFrame

Description

Read a table serialized in the JavaScript Object Notation format into a Spark DataFrame.

Usage

spark_read_json(
  sc,
  name = NULL,
  path = name,
  options = list(),
  repartition = 0,
  memory = TRUE,
  overwrite = TRUE,
  columns = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

sc	A spark_connection.
name	The name to assign to the newly generated table.
path	The path to the file. Needs to be accessible from the cluster. Supports the ‘⁠"hdfs://"⁠’, ‘⁠"s3a://"⁠’ and ‘⁠"file://"⁠’ protocols.
options	A list of strings with additional options.
repartition	The number of partitions used to distribute the generated table. Use 0 (the default) to avoid partitioning.
memory	Boolean; should the data be loaded eagerly into memory? (That is, should the table be cached?)
overwrite	Boolean; overwrite the table with the given name if it already exists?
columns	A vector of column names or a named vector of column types. If specified, the elements can be "binary" for BinaryType, "boolean" for BooleanType, "byte" for ByteType, "integer" for IntegerType, "integer64" for LongType, "double" for DoubleType, "character" for StringType, "timestamp" for TimestampType and "date" for DateType.
...	Optional arguments; currently unused.

Details

You can read data from HDFS (hdfs://), S3 (s3a://), as well as the local file system (file://).
