atoti.Session.read_spark()

Session.read_spark(dataframe, /, *, table_name, keys=(), partitioning=None, default_values={})

Read a Spark DataFrame into a table.

Parameters:

• dataframe (object) – The DataFrame to load.

• table_name (str) – The name of the table to create.

• keys (Collection[str]) – The columns that will become keys of the table.

• partitioning (str | None) –

  The description of how the data will be split across partitions of the table.

  Default rules:

  • Only non-joined tables are automatically partitioned.

  • Tables are automatically partitioned by hashing their key columns. If there are no key columns, all the dictionarized columns are hashed.

  • Joined tables can only use a sub-partitioning of the table referencing them.

  • Automatic partitioning is done modulo the number of available cores.

  Example

  hash4(country) splits the data across 4 partitions based on the country column’s hash value.

• default_values (Mapping[str, ConstantValue | None]) – Mapping from column name to column default_value.

Return type:

Table
