# reduceByWindow(func, windowLength, slideInterval)

reduceByWindow(func, windowLength, slideInterval)

Return a new single-element stream, created by aggregating elements in the stream over a sliding interval using func. The function should be associative and commutative so that it can be computed correctly in parallel.

Example:

```
import org.apache.spark._
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.streaming._
import org.apache.spark.streaming.StreamingContext._
import org.apache.log4j.{Level, Logger}
import org.apache.spark.sql
  .{Row, SaveMode, SparkSession}
import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext

Logger.getLogger("org").setLevel(Level.ERROR)  
val spark = SparkSession
          .builder()
          .config("spark.master", "local[2]")
          .appName("streaming for book")
          .getOrCreate()
import spark.implicits._
val sc=spark.sparkContext
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sc, Seconds(1))

val messages1 = ssc
  .textFileStream("/tmp/filestream1/")
val messages2 = ssc
  .textFileStream("/tmp/filestream2/")

val messages3 = messages1.union(messages2)
val messages=messages3.filter(_.nonEmpty)
  .map(x=>(x,1))
val msgs: org.apache.spark.streaming.dstream
  .DStream[(String, Int)] = messages

type T = (String, Int)
val reduceFn: (T, T) => T = {
case x @ ((k1, v1), (k2, v2)) =>
println(s">>> input: $x")
//(k2, s"$v1 + $v2")
(k2, v1 + v2)
}

val windowedMsgs: org.apache.spark.streaming
  .dstream.DStream[(String, Int)] =
msgs.reduceByWindow
  (reduceFn, Seconds(10), Seconds(5))

windowedMsgs.print()
ssc.start()
ssc.awaitTermination()

>>> input: ((6,1),(7,1))
>>> input: ((7,2),(8,1))
>>> input: ((8,3),(9,1))
>>> input: ((9,4),(10,1))
>>> input: ((1,1),(2,1))
>>> input: ((2,2),(3,1))
>>> input: ((3,3),(4,1))
>>> input: ((4,4),(5,1))
>>> input: ((5,5),(10,5))

-------------------------------------------
(10,10)

It tells you there are 10 keys, total number of distinct key is 10
therefore (10,10)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/reducebywindow-func-windowlength-slideinterval.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
