Examples
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([(1, [1, 3, 5, 8], [0, 2, 4, 6])], ("id", "xs", "ys")) >>> df.select(zip_with("xs", "ys", lambda x, y: x ** y).alias("powers")).show(truncate=False) +---------------------------+ |powers | +---------------------------+ |[1.0, 9.0, 625.0, 262144.0]| +---------------------------+
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([(1, ["foo", "bar"], [1, 2, 3])], ("id", "xs", "ys")) >>> df.select(zip_with("xs", "ys", lambda x, y: concat_ws("_", x, y)).alias("xs_ys")).show() +-----------------+ | xs_ys| +-----------------+ |[foo_1, bar_2, 3]| +-----------------+
