foreach function in sparkr












-1















I am relatively new on SparkR, and I am planning to transfer a for loop into a foreach loop in SparkR (R/3.3.3 & Spark/2.2.0).



I have searched on stackoverflow, the only relevant thread is:
SparkR foreach loop



But it gives only the workaround by using other operations.



From what I see, there is a sparkr package exist (https://amplab-extras.github.io/SparkR-pkg/rdocs/1.2/index.html) and contains foreach function, but I really do not understand its use cases, which I will need some help/example from the community to help.



My example in original R code is following:



uniqueID <- unique(dataset$ID)
maxValueVector <- c()
for(id in uniqueID){
maxValueVector <- c(maximums, max(dataset[which(dataset$ID == id), ]$value))
}


I understand that the line in for loop should be break into several lines, but is there an example I can start with, such as the example foreach code I can start with? Thanks a lot!



p.s. dataset contains 2 columns: ID and value.

    a) That's really not how we express things in Spark. b) SparkR package you've linked have been abandoned many years ago, and even if it wasn't, its foreach wouldn't be applicable here. For new API see spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sparkr.html (Hint: focus on groupBy docs).

As the comments said, in SparkR, we generally do not want to use foreach. In this particular case, I found the answer using sparkdataframe operatiors and solved this problem:



## IDs is collected fo
IDs <- collect(distinct(select(dataset, 'ID')))
## I added the maximums column in order to figure out the future steps
## it basically satisfied what I need to have.
Maximums <- agg(groupBy(dataset, dataset$ID), maximums = max(dataset$value))
Maximums <- arrange(Maximums, desc(Maximums$maximums))


I know since I am still new on this, so this solution may not be what you are looking for. But thanks again for comments!
