A Spark datasource for the HadoopOffice library.
This Spark datasource assumes at least Spark 3.x and Scala 2.12. Scala 2.13 is supported as well. Note: Spark 2.x is probably working just fine with this datasource, but it is not tested anymore.
However, the HadoopOffice library can also be used directly from Spark 1.x and/or Scala 2.10 (see how to section). Currently this datasource supports the following formats of the HadoopOffice library:
- Excel
- Datasource format: org.zuinnote.spark.office.Excel
- Loading and Saving of old Excel (.xls) and new Excel (.xlsx)
This datasource is available on Spark-packages.org and on Maven Central.

All options from the HadoopOffice library, such as metadata, encryption/decryption or low footprint mode, are supported.
Additionally the following options exist:
- "read.spark.simplemode" (Before 1.5: "read.spark.simpleMode") infers the schema of the DataFrame from the data in the Excel or use a custom schema. This schema consists of primitive DataTypes of Spark SQL (String, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Decimal, Date, Boolean). If the schema is inferred it is done only based on one file in the directory. Additionally, the conversion of Decimals is based on the locale that you define (see hadoopoffice options from above). True if schema should be inferred, False if not. Default: False
- "read.spark.simpleMode.maxinferrows" (as of 1.1.0) (Before 1.5: "read.spark.simpleMode.maxInferRows"). This defines the maximum rows to read for inferring the schema. This is useful if you know already that the schema can be determined from a given number of rows. Alternatively, if you want to provide a custom schema set this to 0. Default: all rows ("-1")
- There are also other options related to headers, locales etc. (see options from HadoopOffice library)
There are the following options related to Spark in case you need to write rows containing primitive types. In this case a default sheetname need to be set:
- "write.spark.defaultsheetname", any valid sheetname, e.g. Sheet1
- There are also other options related to headers, locales etc. (see options from HadoopOffice library)
Additionally, the following options of the standard Hadoop API are supported:
- "mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress", true if output should be compressed, false if not. Note that many office formats have already a build-in compression so an additional compression may not make sense.
- "mapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress.codec", codec class, e.g. org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec
A lot of options changed in version 1.2.0 to harmonize behavior with other Big Data platforms. Read carefully the documentation and test your application.
Since version 1.7.0 you need to use Spark 3.x and at least Scala 2.12
groupId: com.github.zuinnote
artifactId: spark-hadoopoffice-ds_2.12
version: 1.7.0
groupId: com.github.zuinnote
artifactId: spark-hadoopoffice-ds_2.12
version: 1.7.0
The Scala 2.13 version requires at least Spark 3.x
Note: If you require Scala 2.10 then you cannot use this data source, but you can use the Hadoop FileFormat if you want to use the latest HadoopOffice version, cf. an example for reading and writing.
Alternatively you can use the older version of this data source (not recommended): 1.1.1 (see documentation). However, in this case you will miss features and bug fixes.
If you need Scala 2.11 then you can use an older version of this data source (not recommended): 1.6.4 (see documentation). However, in this case you will miss features and bug fixes.
Note: if you require Spark 2.x then you cannot use this data source (minimal version: 3.x). You can use an older version of this data source (not recommended): 1.6.4 (see documentation). However, in this case you will miss features and bug fixes.
There are two different schemas that you can configure:
- Excel Cell Schema - here more information of the Excel cell are exposed (e.g. formattedValue, formula, address etc.)
- Simple Schema - here the data is exposed using Spark datatypes (e.g. int, long, decimal, string, date etc.)
The Excel cell schema is very useful in case you want to have more information about the cell and the simple schema is useful in case you want to work only with the data (e.g. doing calculations, filtering by date etc.).
An Excel file loaded into a DataFrame has the following schema. Basically each row contains an Array with all Excel cells in this row. For each cell the following information are available:
- formattedValue: This is what you see when you open Excel
- comment: A comment for this cell
- formula: A formula for this cell (Note: without the =, e.g. "A1+A2")
- address: The address of the cell in A1 format (e.g. "B2")
- sheetName: The name of the sheet of this cell
root
|-- rows: array (nullable = true)
| |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
| | |-- formattedValue: string (nullable = true)
| | |-- comment: string (nullable = true)
| | |-- formula: string (nullable = true)
| | |-- address: string (nullable = true)
| | |-- sheetName: string (nullable = true)
If you use the option "read.spark.simpleMode" then the schema consists of primitve Spark SQL DataTypes. For example, for this Excel file the following schema is automatically inferred (note also the option "hadoopoffice.read.header.read" is applied):
root
|-- decimalsc1: decimal(2,1) (nullable = true)
|-- booleancolumn: boolean (nullable = true)
|-- datecolumn: date (nullable = true)
|-- stringcolumn: string (nullable = true)
|-- decimalp8sc3: decimal(8,3) (nullable = true)
|-- bytecolumn: byte (nullable = true)
|-- shortcolumn: short (nullable = true)
|-- intcolumn: integer (nullable = true)
|-- longcolumn: long (nullable = true)
As you can see in the schema, the datasource reads each Excel row in an array. Each element of the array is a structure describing an Excel cell. This structure describes the formatted value (based on the locale), the comment, the formula, the address of the cell in A1 format and the name of the sheet to which the cell belongs. In Scala you can easily read Excel files using the following snippet (assuming US locale for the Excel file):
val sqlContext = sparkSession.sqlContext
val df = sqlContext.read
.format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("read.locale.bcp47", "en")
.load(args(0))
Find a full example here.
Another option is to infer the schema of primitive Spark SQL DataTypes automatically:
val sqlContext = sparkSession.sqlContext
val df = sqlContext.read
.format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("read.locale.bcp47", "en").option("read.spark.simpleMode",true)
.load(args(0))
This option can be combined with hadoopoffice.read.header.read to interpret the first row in the Excel as column names of the DataFrame.
You can have two options for writing data to Excel files:
- You can have a dataframe with columns of simple datatypes (no map, no list, no struct) that should be written in rows of an Excel sheet. You can define the sheetname by using the option "write.spark.defaultsheetname" (default is "Sheet1"). In this way, you can only write values, but no formulas, comments etc. Additionally you can define the option "hadoopoffice.write.header.write" to write the column names of the DataFrame as the first row of the Excel.
- You can have a dataframe with arrays where each element corresponds to the schema defined above. In this case you have full control where the data ends, you can use formulas, comments etc.
The second option is illustrated in this snippet (Assuming US locale for the Excel). It creates a simple Excel document with 4 cells. They are stored in sheet "Sheet1". The following Cells exist (A1 with value 1), (A2 with value 2 and comment), (A3 with value 3), (B1 with formula A2+A3). The resulting Excel file is stored in the directory /home/user/office/output
val sRdd = sparkSession.sparkContext.parallelize(Seq(Seq("","","1","A1","Sheet1"),Seq("","This is a comment","2","A2","Sheet1"),Seq("","","3","A3","Sheet1"),Seq("","","A2+A3","B1","Sheet1"))).repartition(1)
val df= sRdd.toDF()
df.write
.format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("write.locale.bcp47", "en")
.save("/home/user/office/output")
Find a full example here.
You can write with partitions as follows (as of v 1.3.2). Let us assume you have an Excel with Name, Year, Month, Day columns and you want to create partitions by Year, Month, Day. Then you need to use the following code:
df.toDF.write.partitionBy("year","month","day").format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("write.locale.bcp47", "en")
.save("/home/user/office/output")
This will create the following structure on HDFS (or the filesystem that is supported by Spark):
output/_SUCCESS
output/year=2018/month=1/day=1/part-00000.xlsx
output/year=2019/month=12/day=31/part-00000.xlsx
This example loads Excel documents from the folder "/home/user/office/input" using the Excel representation (format) and shows the total number of rows, the schema and the first 20 rows. The locale for formatting cell values is set to "us". Find a full example here.
val sqlContext = sparkSession.sqlContext
val df = sqlContext.read
.format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("read.locale.bcp47", "en") // example to set the locale to us
.load("/home/user/office/input")
val totalCount = df.count
// print to screen
println("Total number of rows in Excel: "+totalCount)
df.printSchema
// print formattedValues
df.show
This example loads Excel documents from the folder "/home/user/office/input" using the Excel representation (format) and shows the total number of rows, the schema and the first 20 rows. The locale for formatting cell values is set to "us".
SQLContext sqlContext = sparkSession.sqlContext;
Dataframe df = sqlContext.read
.format("org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel")
.option("read.locale.bcp47", "en") // example to set the locale to us
.load("/home/user/office/input");
long totalCount = df.count;
// print to screen
System.out.println("Total number of rows in Excel: "+totalCount);
df.printSchema();
// print formattedValues
df.show();
This example loads Excel documents from the folder "/home/user/office/input" using the Excel representation (format). The locale for formatting cell values is set to "us".
library(SparkR)
Sys.setenv('SPARKR_SUBMIT_ARGS'='"--packages" "com.github.zuinnote:spark-hadoopoffice-ds_2.12:1.7.0" "sparkr-shell"')
sqlContext <- sparkRSQL.init(sc)
df <- read.df(sqlContext, "/home/user/office/input", source = "org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel", "read.locale.bcp47" = "en")
This example loads Excel documents from the folder "/home/user/office/input" using the Excel representation (format).The locale for formatting cell values is set to "us".
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)
df = sqlContext.read.format('org.zuinnote.spark.office.excel').options('read.locale.bcp47'='en').load('/home/user/office/input')
The following statement creates a table that contains Excel data in the folder //home/user/office/input. The locale for formatting cell values is set to "us".
CREATE TABLE ExcelData
