SPRKSCL1116

org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split

This issue code has been deprecated since Spark Conversion Core Version 2.40.1

Message: org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split has a workaround, see documentation for more info

Category: Warning

Description

This issue appears when the SMA detects a use of the org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split function, which has a workaround.

Scenario

Input

Below is an example of the org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split function that generates this EWI.

val df = Seq("apple,banana,orange", "grape,lemon,lime", "cherry,blueberry,strawberry").toDF("values")
val result1 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), ","))
val result2 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), ",", 0))

Output

The SMA adds the EWI SPRKSCL1116 to the output code to let you know that this function is not fully supported by Snowpark, but it has a workaround.

val df = Seq("apple,banana,orange", "grape,lemon,lime", "cherry,blueberry,strawberry").toDF("values")
/*EWI: SPRKSCL1116 => org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split has a workaround, see documentation for more info*/
val result1 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), ","))
/*EWI: SPRKSCL1116 => org.apache.spark.sql.functions.split has a workaround, see documentation for more info*/
val result2 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), ",", 0))

Recommended fix

For the Spark overload that receives two arguments, you can convert the second argument into a column object using the com.snowflake.snowpark.functions.lit function as a workaround.

The overload that receives three arguments is not yet supported by Snowpark and there is no workaround.

val df = Seq("apple,banana,orange", "grape,lemon,lime", "cherry,blueberry,strawberry").toDF("values")
val result1 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), lit(",")))
val result2 = df.withColumn("split_values", split(col("values"), ",", 0)) // This overload is not supported yet
