Closed 5 years ago.
I have a DataFrame column with an array of strings. I've tried creating a udf and using numpy to permute (unit is the column name):
def permute(row):
return np.random.permutation(row)
udfPermute = udf(permute, ArrayType(StringType()))
print(units.withColumn("shuffled", udfPermute("unit")).head(5))

How can I accomplish this?

You are returning a numpy array, you need to return a list instead.
Change your UDF as below and it should work.
def permute(row):
return np.random.permutation(row).tolist()
