Spark's Column.isin function does not take List
Spark's Column.isin function does not take List I am trying to filter out rows from my Spark Dataframe. val sequence = Seq(1,2,3,4,5) df.filter(df("column").isin(sequence)) Unfortunately, I get an unsupported literal type error java.lang.RuntimeException: Unsupported literal type class scala.collection.immutable.$colon$colon List(1,2,3,4,5) according to the documentation it takes a scala.collection.Seq list I guess I don't want a literal? Then what can I take in, some sort of wrapper class? 2 Answers 2 @JustinPihony's answer is correct but it's incomplete. The isin function takes a repeated parameter for argument, so you'll need to pass it as so : isin scala> val df = sc.parallelize(Seq(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)).toDF("column") // df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [column: int] scala> val sequence = Seq(1,2,3,4,5) // sequence: Seq[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
