DataFrames have a lot more information about the data, so there is a whole class of optimizations that are possible there that we cannot do in RDDs. This is why we are focusing a lot of effort on this part of the project. In Spark 1.4 you can accomplish what you want using the new window function feature. This can be done with SQL as you described or directly on a DataFrame:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._ import org.apache.spark.sql.expressions._ val df = Seq(("a", 1), ("b", 1), ("c", 2), ("d", 2)).toDF("x", "y") df.select('x, 'y, rowNumber.over(Window.partitionBy("y").orderBy("x")).as("number")).show +-+-+------+ |x|y|number| +-+-+------+ |a|1| 1| |b|1| 2| |c|2| 1| |d|2| 2| +-+-+------+ On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 3:35 AM, gtanguy <g.tanguy.claravi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I have two questions in one.
