How can I define user-defined aggregate functions in PySpark?

Viewed 21

I want make an user defined aggregate function in pyspark. I found some documentation for Scala and would like to achieve something similar in Python.

To be more specific, assume I already have a function like this implemented:

def process_data(df: pyspark.sql.DataFrame) -> bytes:
  ...  # do something very complicated here

and now I would like to be able to do something like:

source_df.groupBy("Foo_ID").agg(UDAF(process_data))

Now the question is - what should I put in place of UDAF?
