I am using Spark 2.0 and looking for a way to achieve the following in Scala:
Need the time-stamp difference in milliseconds between two Data-frame column values.
Value_1 = 06/13/2017 16:44:20.044
Value_2 = 06/13/2017 16:44:21.067
Data-types for both is timestamp.
Note:Applying the function unix_timestamp(Column s) on both values and subtracting works but not upto the milliseconds value which is the requirement.
Final query would look like this:
Select **timestamp_diff**(Value_2,Value_1) from table1
this should return the following output:
1023 milliseconds
where timestamp_diff is the function that would calculate the difference in milliseconds.
解决方案
One way would be to use Unix epoch time, the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970. Below is an example using an UDF, it takes two timestamps and returns the difference between them in milliseconds.
val timestamp_diff = udf((startTime: Timestamp, endTime: Timestamp) => {
(startTime.getTime() - endTime.getTime())
})
val df = // dataframe with two timestamp columns (col1 and col2)
.withColumn("diff", timestamp_diff(col("col2"), col("col1")))
Alternatively, you can register the function to use with SQL commands:
val timestamp_diff = (startTime: Timestamp, endTime: Timestamp) => {
(startTime.getTime() - endTime.getTime())
}
spark.sqlContext.udf.register("timestamp_diff", timestamp_diff)
df.createOrReplaceTempView("table1")
val df2 = spark.sqlContext.sql("SELECT *, timestamp_diff(col2, col1) as diff from table1")
