I tried a simple example like:

data = sqlContext.read.format("csv").option("header", "true").option("inferSchema", "true").load("/databricks-datasets/samples/population-vs-price/data_geo.csv") data.cache() # Cache data for faster reuse data = data.dropna() # drop rows with missing values data = data.select("2014 Population estimate", "2015 median sales price").map(lambda r: LabeledPoint(r[1], [r[0]])).toDF() 

It works well, But when i try something very similar like:

data = sqlContext.read.format("csv").option("header", "true").option("inferSchema", "true").load('/mnt/%s/OnlineNewsTrainingAndValidation.csv' % MOUNT_NAME) data.cache() # Cache data for faster reuse data = data.dropna() # drop rows with missing values data = data.select("timedelta", "shares").map(lambda r: LabeledPoint(r[1], [r[0]])).toDF() display(data) 

It raise error: AnalysisException: u"cannot resolve 'timedelta' given input columns: [ data_channel_is_tech,...

off-course I imported LabeledPoint and LinearRegression

What could be wrong?

Even the simpler case

df_cleaned = df_cleaned.select("shares") 

raises same AnalysisException (error).

*please note: df_cleaned.printSchema() works well.

I found the issue: some of the column names contain white spaces before the name itself. So

data = data.select(" timedelta", " shares").map(lambda r: LabeledPoint(r[1], [r[0]])).toDF() 

worked. I could catch the white spaces using

assert " " not in ''.join(df.columns) 

Now I am thinking of a way to remove the white spaces. Any idea is much appreciated!

Because header contains spaces or tabs,remove spaces or tabs and try

1) My example script

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession spark = SparkSession \ .builder \ .appName("Python Spark SQL basic example") \ .config("spark.some.config.option", "some-value") \ .getOrCreate() df=spark.read.csv(r'test.csv',header=True,sep='^') print("#################################################################") print df.printSchema() df.createOrReplaceTempView("test") re=spark.sql("select max_seq from test") print(re.show()) print("################################################################") 

2) Input file,here 'max_seq ' contains space so we are getting bellow exception

Trx_ID^max_seq ^Trx_Type^Trx_Record_Type^Trx_Date Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:/spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/test.py", line 14, in <module> re=spark.sql("select max_seq from test") File "D:\spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7\python\lib\pyspark.zip\pyspark\sql\session.py", line 541, in sql File "D:\spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7\python\lib\py4j-0.10.4-src.zip\py4j\java_gateway.py", line 1133, in __call__ File "D:\spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7\python\lib\pyspark.zip\pyspark\sql\utils.py", line 69, in deco pyspark.sql.utils.AnalysisException: u"cannot resolve '`max_seq`' given input columns: [Venue_City_Name, Trx_Type, Trx_Booking_Status_Committed, Payment_Reference1, Trx_Date, max_seq , Event_ItemVariable_Name, Amount_CurrentPrice, cinema_screen_count, Payment_IsMyPayment, r 

2) Remove space after 'max_seq' column then it will work fine

Trx_ID^max_seq^Trx_Type^Trx_Record_Type^Trx_Date 17/03/20 12:16:25 INFO DAGScheduler: Job 3 finished: showString at <unknown>:0, took 0.047602 s 17/03/20 12:16:25 INFO CodeGenerator: Code generated in 8.494073 ms max_seq 10 23 22 22 only showing top 20 rows None ##############################################################

As there were tabs in my input file, removing the tabs or spaces in the header helped display the answer. My example: saledf = spark.read.csv("SalesLTProduct.txt", header=True, inferSchema= True, sep='\t') saledf.printSchema() root |-- ProductID: string (nullable = true) |-- Name: string (nullable = true) |-- ProductNumber: string (nullable = true) saledf.describe('ProductNumber').show() +-------+-------------+ |summary|ProductNumber| +-------+-------------+ | count| 295| | mean| null| | stddev| null| | min| BB-7421| | max| WB-H098| +-------+-------------+ 

If you don't have whitespaces in headers, this error also raised when you not specify headers for csv at all like this:

df = sqlContext.read.csv('data.csv') 

So you need to change it to this:

df = sqlContext.read.csv('data.csv', header=True) 

Recently, I came across this issue while working on Azure synapse analytics; my error was the same.

analysisexception: cannot resolve '`xxxxxx`' given input columns: [];; 'filter ('passenger_count > 0) +- relation[] csv traceback (most recent call last): file "/opt/spark/python/lib/", line 1364, in filter jdf = self._jdf.filter(condition._jc) file "/opt/spark/python/lib/", line 1257, in __call__ answer, self.gateway_client, self.target_id, self.name) file "/opt/spark/python/lib/", line 75, in deco raise analysisexception(s.split(': ', 1)[1], stacktrace)"" 

This error came due to improper wording in our code or in CSV file use this code to read csv file:

-df = spark.read.load("examples/src/main/resources/people.csv", format="csv", sep=";", inferSchema="true", header="true") 

If you are again stuck somewhere in synapse or pyspark visit this site FOR Error info:
