databricks.koalas.DataFrame.to_spark_io

DataFrame.to_spark_io(path: Optional[str] = None, format: Optional[str] = None, mode: str = 'overwrite', partition_cols: Union[str, List[str], None] = None, index_col: Union[str, List[str], None] = None, **options) → None[source]

Write the DataFrame out to a Spark data source. DataFrame.spark.to_spark_io() is an alias of DataFrame.to_spark_io().

Parameters

  • ‘delta’

  • ‘parquet’

  • ‘orc’

  • ‘error’ or ‘errorifexists’: Throw an exception if data already exists.

partition_colsstr or list of str, optional

Names of partitioning columns

index_col: str or list of str, optional, default: None

Column names to be used in Spark to represent Koalas’ index. The index name in Koalas is ignored. By default, the index is always lost.

Examples

>>> df = ks.DataFrame(dict(
...    date=list(pd.date_range('2012-1-1 12:00:00', periods=3, freq='M')),
...    country=['KR', 'US', 'JP'],
...    code=[1, 2 ,3]), columns=['date', 'country', 'code'])
>>> df
                 date country  code
0 2012-01-31 12:00:00      KR     1

2 2012-03-31 12:00:00      JP     3
>>> df.to_spark_io(path='%s/to_spark_io/foo.json' % path, format='json')
