Split data from one column to multiple columns using pyspark and remove first row which contains the headers
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.master("local").appName('testapp').getOrCreate()
df = spark.createDataFrame([("col1:col2:col3",),
("1:a:2001",),
("2:b:2002",),
("3:c:2003",)],
["value"])
df.show()
df.createOrReplaceTempView("dftable")
df_split = spark.sql("select split(value,':') as column1 from dftable")
header = df_split.first()['column1']
df_split.show()
df_split = df_split.rdd.flatMap(lambda x: x).toDF(schema=header)
df_split = df_split.filter("col1 not like '%col1%'")
df_split.show()
