The English SDK for Apache Spark is an extremely simple yet powerful tool. It takes English instructions and compile them into PySpark objects like DataFrames. Its goal is to make Spark more user-friendly and accessible, allowing you to focus your efforts on extracting insights from your data.
For a more comprehensive introduction and background to our project, we have the following resources:
- Blog Post: A detailed walkthrough of our project.
- Demo Video: 2023 Data + AI summit announcement video with demo.
- Breakout Session: A deep dive into the story behind the English SDK, its features, and future works at DATA+AI summit 2023.
pip install pyspark-aiAs of June 2023, our extensive testing suggests that the most effective utilization is with the English SDK and GPT-4.
To use OpenAI's Language Learning Models (LLMs), you can set your OpenAI secret key as the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. This key can be found in your OpenAI account. Example:
export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-...'By default, the SparkAI instances will use the GPT-4 model. However, you're encouraged to experiment with creating and implementing other LLMs, which can be passed during the initialization of SparkAI instances for various use-cases.
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from pyspark_ai import SparkAI
# If 'gpt-4' is unavailable, use 'gpt-3.5-turbo' (might lower output quality)
llm = ChatOpenAI(model_name='gpt-4', temperature=0)
# Initialize SparkAI with the ChatOpenAI model
spark_ai = SparkAI(llm=llm, verbose=True)
# Activate partial functions for Spark DataFrame
spark_ai.activate()If you have set up the Google Python client, you can ingest data via search engine:
auto_df = spark_ai.create_df("2022 USA national auto sales by brand")Otherwise, you can ingest data via URL:
auto_df = spark_ai.create_df("https://www.carpro.com/blog/full-year-2022-national-auto-sales-by-brand")Take a look at the data:
auto_df.show(n=5)| rank | brand | us_sales_2022 | sales_change_vs_2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Toyota | 1849751 | -9 |
| 2 | Ford | 1767439 | -2 |
| 3 | Chevrolet | 1502389 | 6 |
| 4 | Honda | 881201 | -33 |
| 5 | Hyundai | 724265 | -2 |
auto_df.ai.plot()
To plot with an instruction:
auto_df.ai.plot("pie chart for US sales market shares, show the top 5 brands and the sum of others")
auto_top_growth_df=auto_df.ai.transform("brand with the highest growth")
auto_top_growth_df.show()| brand | us_sales_2022 | sales_change_vs_2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Cadillac | 134726 | 14 |
auto_top_growth_df.ai.explain()In summary, this dataframe is retrieving the brand with the highest sales change in 2022 compared to 2021. It presents the results sorted by sales change in descending order and only returns the top result.
auto_top_growth_df.ai.verify("expect sales change percentage to be between -100 to 100")result: True
@spark_ai.udf
def previous_years_sales(brand: str, current_year_sale: int, sales_change_percentage: float) -> int:
"""Calculate previous years sales from sales change percentage"""
...
spark.udf.register("previous_years_sales", previous_years_sales)
auto_df.createOrReplaceTempView("autoDF")
spark.sql("select brand as brand, previous_years_sales(brand, us_sales, sales_change_percentage) as 2021_sales from autoDF").show()| brand | 2021_sales |
|---|---|
| Toyota | 2032693 |
| Ford | 1803509 |
| Chevrolet | 1417348 |
| Honda | 1315225 |
| Hyundai | 739045 |
The SparkAI supports a simple in-memory and persistent cache system. It keeps an in-memory staging cache, which gets updated for LLM and web search results. The staging cache can be persisted through the commit() method. Cache lookup is always performed on both in-memory staging cache and persistent cache.
