graph frames has a nice example for stateful motifs. How can I explicitly return the counts? As you see the output only contains vertices and friends but not the counts.

How can I modify it to not (only) have access to the edges but access to the labels of the vertices as well?

when(relationship === "friend", cnt + 1).otherwise(cnt)

I.e. how could I enhance the count to count

  • the friends of each vertex with age > 30

  • the percentage of friendsGreater30 / allFriends

    val g = examples.Graphs.friends  // get example graph

// Find chains of 4 vertices.
val chain4 = g.find("(a)-[ab]->(b); (b)-[bc]->(c); (c)-[cd]->(d)")

// Query on sequence, with state (cnt)
//  (a) Define method for updating state given the next element of the motif.
def sumFriends(cnt: Column, relationship: Column): Column = {
  when(relationship === "friend", cnt + 1).otherwise(cnt)
}
//  (b) Use sequence operation to apply method to sequence of elements in motif.
//      In this case, the elements are the 3 edges.
val condition = Seq("ab", "bc", "cd").
  foldLeft(lit(0))((cnt, e) => sumFriends(cnt, col(e)("relationship")))
//  (c) Apply filter to DataFrame.
val chainWith2Friends2 = chain4.where(condition >= 2)

    chainWith2Friends2.show()

Which will output

Note that sumFriends returns a Column, so condition is a column. This is why you can access it in a where statement without quotes. So all you have to do is add that column to your dataframe. After running the above code, I can run

chain4.withColumn("condition",condition).select("condition").show

+---------+ 
|condition|
+---------+
 | 1|
 | 0|
 | 0|
 | 0|
 | 0|
 | 3|
 | 3|
 | 3|
 | 2|
 | 2|
 | 3|
 | 1|
+---------+

you could also use chain4.select(condition)

Hope this helps
