Add new rows in the Spark DataFrame using scala

I have a dataframe like:

Name_Index  City_Index
  2.0         1.0
  0.0         2.0
  1.0         0.0

I have a new list of values.

list(1.0,1.0)

I want to add these values to a new row in dataframe in the case that all previous rows are dropped.

My code:

 val spark = SparkSession.builder
      .master("local[*]")
      .config("spark.serializer", "org.apache.spark.serializer.KryoSerializer")
      .getOrCreate()


    var data = spark.read.option("header", "true")
      .option("inferSchema", "true")
      .csv("src/main/resources/student.csv")

   val someDF = Seq(
         (1.0,1.0)
        ).toDF("Name_Index","City_Index")

   data=data.union(someDF).show()

It show output like:

Name_Index  City_Index
  2.0          1.0
  0.0          2.0
  1.0          0.0
  1.1          1.1

But output should be like this. So that all the previous rows are dropped and new values are added.

Name_Index   City_Index
  1.0          1.0

As far as I can see, you only need the list of columns from source Dataframe.

If your sequence has the same order of the columns as the source Dataframe does, you can re-use schema without actually querying the source Dataframe. Performance wise, it will be faster.

    val srcDf = Seq((2.0,1.0),(0.0,2.0),(1.0,0.0)).toDF("name_index","city_index")

    val dstDf = Seq((1.0, 1.0)).toDF(srcDf.columns:_*)

you could try this approach

data = data.filter(_ => false).union(someDF)

output

+----------+----------+
|Name_Index|City_Index|
+----------+----------+
|1.0       |1.0       |
+----------+----------+

I hope it gives you some insights.

you can achieve this using limit & union functions. check below.

scala> val df = Seq((2.0,1.0),(0.0,2.0),(1.0,0.0)).toDF("name_index","city_index")
df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [name_index: double, city_index: double]

scala> df.show(false)
+----------+----------+
|name_index|city_index|
+----------+----------+
|2.0       |1.0       |
|0.0       |2.0       |
|1.0       |0.0       |
+----------+----------+


scala> val ndf = Seq((1.0,1.0)).toDF("name_index","city_index")
ndf: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [name_index: double, city_index: double]

scala> ndf.show
+----------+----------+
|name_index|city_index|
+----------+----------+
|       1.0|       1.0|
+----------+----------+


scala> df.limit(0).union(ndf).show(false) // this is not good approach., you can directly call ndf.show
+----------+----------+
|name_index|city_index|
+----------+----------+
|1.0       |1.0       |
+----------+----------+

change the last line to

data=data.except(data).union(someDF).show()
