PySpark Interview Questions and Answers

Question: Explain the purpose of the 'window' function in PySpark.

Answer: The 'window' function is used for defining windows over data based on partitioning and ordering, often used with aggregation functions.

Example:

from pyspark.sql.window import Window
from pyspark.sql.functions import sum

window_spec = Window.partitionBy('category').orderBy('value')
result = df.withColumn('sum_value', sum('value').over(window_spec))
