There are several ways to merge multiple columns into a single Spark dataset. Here are two common methods:
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.concat
val df = spark.read.csv("path/to/file.csv")
val mergedColumn = df.select(concat($"col1", $"col2", $"col3").alias("new_col"))
In this example, the "concat" function concatenates the "col1", "col2", and "col3" columns from the input dataset "df" into a new column named "newcol". The resulting dataset "mergedColumn" contains only the new column "newcol".
val df = spark.read.csv("path/to/file.csv")
val mergedColumn = df.withColumn("new_col", $"col1" + $"col2" + $"col3")
In this example, the "withColumn" function creates a new column "newcol" by adding the values from the "col1", "col2", and "col3" columns. The resulting dataset "mergedColumn" contains all the original columns plus the new column "newcol".
