Try it:
def showDf(df, count=None, percent=None, maxColumns=0):
if (df == None): return
import pandas
from IPython.display import display
pandas.set_option('display.encoding', 'UTF-8')
# Pandas dataframe
dfp = None
# maxColumns param
if (maxColumns >= 0):
if (maxColumns == 0): maxColumns = len(df.columns)
pandas.set_option('display.max_columns', maxColumns)
# count param
if (count == None and percent == None): count = 10 # Default count
if (count != None):
count = int(count)
if (count == 0): count = df.count()
pandas.set_option('display.max_rows', count)
dfp = pandas.DataFrame(df.head(count), columns=df.columns)
display(dfp)
# percent param
elif (percent != None):
percent = float(percent)
if (percent >=0.0 and percent <= 1.0):
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
seed = long(now.strftime("%H%M%S"))
dfs = df.sample(False, percent, seed)
count = df.count()
pandas.set_option('display.max_rows', count)
dfp = dfs.toPandas()
display(dfp)
Examples of usages are:
# Shows the ten first rows of the Spark dataframe
showDf(df)
showDf(df, 10)
showDf(df, count=10)
# Shows a random sample which represents 15% of the Spark dataframe
showDf(df, percent=0.15)
