Yes. It’s a good method . But UDF ? What is UDF ? U……………..D……………F ? OK, I can learn from it.

You can use udf to convert one column for array type. Here's one sample val conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[4]").setAppName("test") val sc = new SparkContext(conf) val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc) import sqlContext.implicits._ import sqlContext._ sqlContext.udf.register("f", (a:String) => Array(a,a)) val df1 = Seq( (1, "jeff", 12), (2, "andy", 34), (3, "pony", 23), (4, "jeff", 14) ).toDF("id", "name", "age") val df2=df1.withColumn("name", expr("f(name)")) df2.printSchema() df2.show() On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 3:44 PM, zml张明磊 <mingleizh...@ctrip.com<mailto:mingleizh...@ctrip.com>> wrote: Thanks, Jeff. It’s not choose some columns of a Row. It’s just choose all data in a column and convert it to an Array. Do you understand my mean ? In Chinese 我是想基于这个列名把这一列中的所有数据都选出来,然后放到数组里面去。 发件人: Jeff Zhang [mailto:zjf...@gmail.com<mailto:zjf...@gmail.com>] 发送时间: 2015年12月25日 15:39 收件人: zml张明磊 抄送: dev@spark.apache.org<mailto:dev@spark.apache.org> 主题: Re: How can I get the column data based on specific column name and then stored these data in array or list ? Not sure what you mean. Do you want to choose some columns of a Row and convert it to an Arrray ?

However, I just only find this API DataFrame.col(colName : String) : Column which returns an object of Column. Not the content. If only DataFrame support such API which like Column.toArray : Type is enough for me. But now, it doesn’t. How can I do can achieve this function ?
