Can use graphframes DBR 14.3

Henrik_ — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 08:01:41 GMT

I get the following error when trying to run GraphFrame on DBR 14.3. Anyone has an idea of how I can solve this?

"""

import pyspark.sql.functions as F

from graphframes import GraphFrame

vertices = spark.createDataFrame([

("a", "Alice", 34),

("b", "Bob", 36),

("c", "Charlie", 30),

("d", "David", 29),

("e", "Esther", 32),

("f", "Fanny", 36),

("g", "Gabby", 60)],

["id", "name", "age"])

edges = spark.createDataFrame([

("a", "b", "friend"),

("b", "c", "follow"),

("c", "b", "follow"),

("f", "c", "follow"),

("e", "f", "follow"),

("e", "d", "friend"),

("d", "a", "friend"),

("a", "e", "friend")],

["src", "dst", "relationship"])

g = GraphFrame(vertices, edges)

display(g)

But I get this error:

I am having the same issue. Did you ever determine how to solve this?

What type of cluster do you use, and what version of graphframes?

I'm running on 14.3 LTS (includes Apache Spark 3.5.0, Scala 2.12), 1 driver (n2-highmem 😎 64 GB Memory, 8 Cores, 1-8 Workers (n2-highmem-4) 32-256 GB Memory 4-32 Cores. My version of graphframes is 0.6.

Re: Can use graphframes DBR 14.3

-werners- — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 07:32:35 GMT

Please install the latest graphframes version.

0.6 has only spark 2 support.
Also in the latest version the deprecated sql context is removed:

Thanks for the response -werners-. Version 0.8.3 installed via https://pypi.org/project/graphframes-latest/ gives a different error: AttributeError: 'SparkSession' object has no attribute '_sc'. No version above 0.6 is available via %pip install graphframes --upgrade.

Note that I am using Serverless compute.

Serverless compute might be the issue here.
Can you deploy a classic compute cluster and install graphframes?

Hi, sorry for the delay, yes this was done several weeks ago but my issue is with deploying it on Serverless. Also we are unable to deploy custom clusters currently due to a separate issue.

Serverless compute has limitations, like installing libraries. So at the moment that won't be possible.
Oldschool clusters have way more configuration possibilities, so hopefully you can fix the issue you experience on deploying clusters.

Hi Guys, even with the classic compute with version 14.3LTS, I'm getting the _sc error mentioned above, pls let me know if you're able to fix the issue

graphframes-latest is not an official release of graphframes. So I would not recommend anyone to use it.

Anyway, graphframes is available in ML runtime, may be using ML runtime instead of the standard one is the best solution.

Through pip install gaphframes the version is 0.6 which is only supported by 2.x versions of Spark. For the latest versions of graphframes use: pip install graphframes-py. This, as of today, gets the version 0.9.2 which is fully compatible with Spark versions 3.5+

You can see the differences here between these two pip install commands:

pip install graphframes

pip install graphframes-py
