Explanation

The output is the typical output of a DataFrame.printSchema() call. The DataFrame's RDD representation does not have a printSchema or formatSchema method (find available methods in the RDD

documentation linked below). The output of print(transactionsDf.schema) is this: StructType(List(StructField(transactionId,IntegerType,true),StructField(predError,IntegerType,true),StructField

(value,IntegerType,true),StructField(storeId,IntegerType,true),StructField(productId,IntegerType,true),StructField(f,IntegerType,true))). It includes the same information as the nicely formatted original

output, but is not nicely formatted itself. Lastly, the DataFrame's schema attribute does not have a print() method.

Explanation

The key here is to understand that columns that are passed to DataFrame.drop() are ignored if they do not exist in the DataFrame. So, passing column name associateId to transactionsDf.drop()

does not have any effect.

Passing a list to transactionsDf.drop() is not valid. The documentation (link below) shows the call structure as DataFrame.drop(*cols). The * means that all arguments that are passed to

DataFrame.drop() are read as columns. However, since a list of columns, for example ["predError", "productId", "associateId"] is not a column, Spark will run into an error.

Explanation

Correct code block:

itemsDf.withColumn("itemNameElements", split("itemName"," "))

Output of code block:

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

|itemId|itemName |supplier |itemNameElements |

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

|1 |Thick Coat for Walking in the Snow|Sports Company Inc.|[Thick, Coat, for, Walking, in, the, Snow]|

|2 |Elegant Outdoors Summer Dress |YetiX |[Elegant, Outdoors, Summer, Dress] |

|3 |Outdoors Backpack |Sports Company Inc.|[Outdoors, Backpack] |

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

The key to solving this QUESTION NO: is that the split method definitely needs a second argument here (also look at the link to the documentation below). Given the values in column itemName in

DataFrame itemsDf, this should be a space character " ". This is the character we need to split the words in the column.
