Dataset support for Snowpark Connect for Spark (Java/Scala)¶

class Dataset[T] extends Serializable

A Dataset is a strongly typed collection of domain-specific objects that can be transformed in parallel using functional or relational operations.

Operations available on Datasets are divided into transformations and actions. Transformations produce new Datasets, and actions trigger computation and return results. Example transformations include map, filter, select, and groupBy. Example actions include count, show, and collect.

Snowpark Connect for Spark supports the Spark 3.5 Dataset API (https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.5.6/api/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/Dataset.html) for Java and Scala. There is only one JVM client, so there’s no significant support difference between using Java or Scala. All supported and unsupported APIs are described in this topic.

For detailed Dataframe API support, see DataFrame support for Snowpark Connect for Spark.
