Problem: In PySpark, how to calculate the time/timestamp difference in seconds, minutes, and hours on the DataFrame column? Solution: PySpark doesn't have a function to calculate timestamp difference hence we need to calculate to get the difference time unit we want. Below I've explained several examples using Pyspark code snippets.…
Use to_timestamp() function to convert String to Timestamp (TimestampType) in PySpark. The converted time would be in a default format of MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS, I will explain how to use this function with a few examples. Syntax - to_timestamp() Syntax: to_timestamp(timestampString:Column) Syntax: to_timestamp(timestampString:Column,format:String) This function has above two signatures that defined…
In this article, you will learn how to convert Unix epoch seconds to timestamp and timestamp to Unix epoch seconds on the Spark DataFrame column using SQL Functions with Scala examples. NOTE: One thing you need to know is Unix epoch time in seconds does not hold milliseconds. hence, it's…
