theta_intersection

Returns the intersection of two binary representations of Datasketches ThetaSketch objects, using a Datasketches Intersection object.

Syntax

Python

from pyspark.sql import functions as sf

sf.theta_intersection(col1, col2)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
col1	pyspark.sql.Column or str	The first Theta sketch.
col2	pyspark.sql.Column or str	The second Theta sketch.

Returns

pyspark.sql.Column: The binary representation of the intersected ThetaSketch.

Examples

Example 1: Get intersection of two Theta sketches

Python

from pyspark.sql import functions as sf
df = spark.createDataFrame([(1,1),(2,2),(3,2),(3,3)], "struct<v1:int,v2:int>")
df = df.agg(
    sf.theta_sketch_agg("v1").alias("sketch1"),
    sf.theta_sketch_agg("v2").alias("sketch2")
)
df.select(sf.theta_sketch_estimate(sf.theta_intersection(df.sketch1, "sketch2"))).show()

Output

+-----------------------------------------------------------+
|theta_sketch_estimate(theta_intersection(sketch1, sketch2))|
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
