pyspark.sql.functions.
window
Bucketize rows into one or more time windows given a timestamp specifying column. Window starts are inclusive but the window ends are exclusive, e.g. 12:05 will be in the window [12:05,12:10) but not in [12:00,12:05). Windows can support microsecond precision. Windows in the order of months are not supported.
The time column must be of pyspark.sql.types.TimestampType.
pyspark.sql.types.TimestampType
Durations are provided as strings, e.g. ‘1 second’, ‘1 day 12 hours’, ‘2 minutes’. Valid interval strings are ‘week’, ‘day’, ‘hour’, ‘minute’, ‘second’, ‘millisecond’, ‘microsecond’. If the slideDuration is not provided, the windows will be tumbling windows.
slideDuration
The startTime is the offset with respect to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC with which to start window intervals. For example, in order to have hourly tumbling windows that start 15 minutes past the hour, e.g. 12:15-13:15, 13:15-14:15… provide startTime as 15 minutes.
The output column will be a struct called ‘window’ by default with the nested columns ‘start’ and ‘end’, where ‘start’ and ‘end’ will be of pyspark.sql.types.TimestampType.

Examples
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([("2016-03-11 09:00:07", 1)]).toDF("date", "val") >>> w = df.groupBy(window("date", "5 seconds")).agg(sum("val").alias("sum")) >>> w.select(w.window.start.cast("string").alias("start"), ... w.window.end.cast("string").alias("end"), "sum").collect() [Row(start='2016-03-11 09:00:05', end='2016-03-11 09:00:10', sum=1)]
