The Spark SQL with MySQL JDBC example assumes a mysql db named “uber” with table called “trips”. Would you like to see other examples? Leave ideas or questions in comments below. This example was designed to get you up and running with Spark SQL, mySQL or any JDBC compliant database and Python. We are now in position to run some SQL such as > sqlContext.sql('select * from trips where dispatching_base_number like '%2512%'').show()Ĭonclusion Spark SQL MySQL (JDBC) with Python Register the data as a temp table for future SQL queries > dataframe_mysql.registerTempTable('trips')Ĥ. |dispatching_base_number| date|active_vehicles|trips|ģ. Let’s confirm the dataframe by show the schema of the table > dataframe_mysql.show() > dataframe_mysql = ('jdbc').option('url', 'jdbc:mysql://localhost/uber').option('driver', '').option('dbtable', 'trips').option('user', 'root').option('password', 'root').load()Ĭhange the mysql url and user/password values in the above code appropriate to your environment.ģ. SparkContext available as sc, HiveContext available as sqlContext. Once the shell is running, let’s establish connection to mysql db and read the “trips” table: Welcome to $ SPARK_HOME / bin /pyspark –jars /home/example/jars/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38-bin.jarĢ.

If it is not, you can specify the path location such as: This example assumes the mysql connector jdbc jar file is located in the same directory as where you are calling spark-shell. $ SPARK_HOME / bin /pyspark –jars mysql-connector-java-5.1.38-bin.jar Start the pyspark shell with –jars argument Spark SQL MySQL (JDBC) Python Quick Start Tutorialġ. MySQL JDBC driver (download available )įor reference of the setup used in this Spark SQL mySQL Python tutorial, see the Setup Reference section at the bottom of this post.

MySQL database with at least one table containing data.Ģ.

Then, we’re going to fire up pyspark with a command line argument to specify the JDBC driver needed to connect to the JDBC data source. We’re going to load some NYC Uber data into a database for this Spark SQL with MySQL tutorial.
