How to add sparse vectors after group by, using Spark SQL?

I am doing a News recommendation system and I need to build a table for users and news they read. my raw data just like this :

001436800277225 ["9161492","9161787","9378531"]
009092130698762 ["9394697"]
010003000431538 ["9394697","9426473","9428530"]
010156461231357 ["9350394","9414181"]
010216216021063 ["9173862","9247870"]
010720006581483 ["9018786"]
011199797794333 ["9017977","9091134","9142852","9325464","9331913"]
011337201765123 ["9161294","9198693"]
011414545455156 ["9168185","9178348","9182782","9359776"]
011425002581540 ["9083446","9161294","9309432"]

and I use spark-SQL do explode and one hot encoding,

df = getdf()
df1 = df.select('uuid',explode('news').alias('news'))
stringIndexer = StringIndexer(inputCol="news", outputCol="newsIndex")
model = stringIndexer.fit(df1)
indexed = model.transform(df1)
encoder = OneHotEncoder(inputCol="newsIndex", outputCol="newsVec")
encoded = encoder.transform(indexed)
encoded.show(20,False)

After that, my data become:

+---------------+-------+---------+----------------------+
|uuid           |news   |newsIndex|newsVec               |
+---------------+-------+---------+----------------------+

+---------------+-------+---------+----------------------+

But one id have multiple rows, so I want to groupBy('uuid') and then add these vectors. But just use groupBy and then add will have error. How could I do that?

Starting from indexed, we can collect the column newsIndex as a list and transform it into a SparseVector using an udf.

To declare a sparse vector, we need the number of features and a list of tuples containing the position and the value. Because we are dealing with a categorical variable, for value we will use is 1.0. And the index will be the column newsIndex:

from pyspark.sql.functions import collect_list, max, lit
from pyspark.ml.linalg import Vectors, VectorUDT

def encode(arr, length):

  vec_args =  length, [(x,1.0) for x in arr]

  return Vectors.sparse(*vec_args)   

encode_udf = udf(encode, VectorUDT())

The number of features is max(newsIndex) + 1 (since StrinIndexer begins at 0.0):

feats = indexed.agg(max(indexed["newsIndex"])).take(1)[0][0] + 1

Bringing it all together: 

indexed.groupBy("uuid") \
       .agg(collect_list("newsIndex")
       .alias("newsArr")) \
       .select("uuid", 
               encode_udf("newsArr", lit(feats))
               .alias("OHE")) \
       .show(truncate = False)
+---------------+-----------------------------------------+
|uuid           |OHE                                      |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------+
|009092130698762|(24,[0],[1.0])                           |
|010003000431538|(24,[0,3,15],[1.0,1.0,1.0])              |
|010720006581483|(24,[11],[1.0])                          |
