Using stat.bloomFilter in Spark 2.0.0 to filter another dataframe

Question

I have two large dataframes [a] one which has all events identified by an id [b] a list of ids. I want to filter [a] based on the ids in [b] using the stat.bloomFilter implementation in spark 2.0.0

However I don't see any operations in the dataset API to join the bloom filter to the data frame [a]

val in1 = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(List(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
val df1 = in1.map(x => (x, x+1, x+2)).toDF("c1", "c2", "c3")

val in2 = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(List(0, 1, 2))
val df2 = in2.map(x => (x)).toDF("c1")

val expectedNumItems: Long = 1000
val fpp: Double = 0.005

val sbf = df.stat.bloomFilter($"c1", expectedNumItems, fpp)
val sbf2 = df2.stat.bloomFilter($"c1", expectedNumItems, fpp)

What is the best way to filter 'df1' based on values in df2?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use an UDF:

def might_contain(f: org.apache.spark.util.sketch.BloomFilter) = udf((x: Int) => 
  if(x != null) f.mightContain(x) else false)

df1.where(might_contain(sbf2)($"C1"))

Answer 2

I think I found the correct way to do this, but would still like pointers to see if there are better ways to manage this.

Here's my solution -

val in1 = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(List(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
val d1 = in1.map(x => (x, x+1, x+2)).toDF("c1", "c2", "c3")

val in2 = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(List(0, 1, 2))
val d2 = in2.map(x => (x)).toDF("c1")

val s2 = d2.stat.bloomFilter($"c1", expectedNumItems, fpp)

val a = spark.sparkContext.broadcast(s2)

val x = d1.rdd.filter(x => a.value.mightContain(x(0)))

case class newType(c1: Int, c2: Int, c3: Int) extends Serializable

val xDF = x.map(y => newType(y(0).toString.toInt, y(1).toString.toInt, y(2).toString.toInt)).toDF()

scala> d1.show(10)
+---+---+---+
| c1| c2| c3|
+---+---+---+
|  0|  1|  2|
|  1|  2|  3|
|  2|  3|  4|
|  3|  4|  5|
|  4|  5|  6|
|  5|  6|  7|
+---+---+---+

scala> d2.show(10)
+---+
| c1|
+---+
|  0|
|  1|
|  2|
+---+

scala> xDF.show(10)
+---+---+---+
| c1| c2| c3|
+---+---+---+
|  0|  1|  2|
|  1|  2|  3|
|  2|  3|  4|
+---+---+---+

I built an implicit class that wraps https://stackoverflow.com/a/41989703/6723616 Comments welcome!

    }
