I need to pass a list into a UDF, the list will determine the score/category of the distance. For now, I am hard coding all distances to be the 4th score.
a= spark.createDataFrame([("A", 20), ("B", 30), ("D", 80)],["Letter", "distances"])
from pyspark.sql.functions import udf
def cate(label, feature_list):
if feature_list == 0:
return label[4]
label_list = ["Great", "Good", "OK", "Please Move", "Dead"]
udf_score=udf(cate, StringType())
a.withColumn("category", udf_score(label_list,a["distances"])).show(10)
when I try something like this, I get this error.
Py4JError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col. Trace:

Hope this helps!
from pyspark.sql.functions import udf, col
#sample data
a= sqlContext.createDataFrame([("A", 20), ("B", 30), ("D", 80)],["Letter", "distances"])
label_list = ["Great", "Good", "OK", "Please Move", "Dead"]
def cate(label, feature_list):
if feature_list == 0:
return label[4]
else: #you may need to add 'else' condition as well otherwise 'null' will be added in this case
return 'I am not sure!'
def udf_score(label_list):
return udf(lambda l: cate(l, label_list))
a.withColumn("category", udf_score(label_list)(col("distances"))).show()
Output is:
+------+---------+--------------+
|Letter|distances| category|
+------+---------+--------------+
| A| 20|I am not sure!|
| B| 30|I am not sure!|
| D| 80|I am not sure!|
+------+---------+--------------+
