For each set of coordinates in a pyspark dataframe, I need to find closest set of coordinates in another dataframe
I have one pyspark dataframe with coordinate data like so (dataframe a):
+------------------+-------------------+
| latitude_deg| longitude_deg|
+------------------+-------------------+
| 40.07080078125| -74.93360137939453|
| 38.704022| -101.473911|
| 59.94919968| -151.695999146|
| 34.86479949951172| -86.77030181884766|
| 35.6087| -91.254898|
| 34.9428028| -97.8180194|
And another like so (dataframe b): (only few rows are shown for understanding)
+-----+------------------+-------------------+
|ident| latitude_deg| longitude_deg|
+-----+------------------+-------------------+
| 00A| 30.07080078125| -24.93360137939453|
| 00AA| 56.704022| -120.473911|
| 00AK| 18.94919968| -109.695999146|
| 00AL| 76.86479949951172| -67.77030181884766|
| 00AR| 10.6087| -87.254898|
| 00AS| 23.9428028| -10.8180194|
Is it possible to somehow merge the dataframes to have a result that a has the closest ident from dataframe b for each row in dataframe a:
+------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| latitude_deg| longitude_deg|closest_ident|
+------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| 40.07080078125| -74.93360137939453| 12A|
| 38.704022| -101.473911| 14BC|
| 59.94919968| -151.695999146| 278A|
| 34.86479949951172| -86.77030181884766| 56GH|
| 35.6087| -91.254898| 09HJ|
| 34.9428028| -97.8180194| 09BV|
What I have tried so far:
I have a pyspark UDF to calculate the haversine distance between 2 pairs of coordinates defined.
udf_get_distance = F.udf(get_distance)
It works like this:
df = (df.withColumn(“ABS_DISTANCE”, udf_get_distance(
df.latitude_deg_a, df.longitude_deg_a,
df.latitude_deg_b, df.longitude_deg_b,)
))
I'd appreciate any kind of help. Thanks so much
You need to do a crossJoin first. something like this
joined_df=source_df1.crossJoin(source_df2)
Then you can call your udf like you have mentioned, generate rownum based on distance and filter out the close one
from pyspark.sql.functions import row_number,Window
rwindow=Window.partitionBy("latitude_deg_a","latitude_deg_b").orderBy("ABS_DISTANCE")
udf_result_df = joined_df.withColumn(“ABS_DISTANCE”, udf_get_distance(
df.latitude_deg_a, df.longitude_deg_a,
df.latitude_deg_b, df.longitude_deg_b).withColumn("rownum",row_number().over(rwindow)).filter("rownum = 1")
Note: add return type to your udf
