Spark SQL内置函数

在Spark 1.5.x版本，增加了一系列内置函数到DataFrame API中，并且实现了code-generation的优化。与普通的函数不同，DataFrame的函数并不会执行后立即返回一个结果值，而是返回一个Column对象，用于在并行作业中进行求值。Column可以用在DataFrame的操作之中，比如select，filter，groupBy等。函数的输入值，也可以是Column。

聚合函数:

approxCountDistinct, avg, count, countDistinct, first, last, max, mean, min, sum, sumDistinct

集合函数:

array_contains, explode, size, sort_array

日期时间转换

unix_timestamp, from_unixtime, to_date, quarter, day, dayofyear, weekofyear, from_utc_timestamp, to_utc_timestamp
从日期时间中提取字段
year, month, dayofmonth, hour, minute, second

日期/时间计算

datediff, date_add, date_sub, add_months, last_day, next_day, months_between
