# Other ## Collections * `array(*cols)` * `array_contains(col, value)` * `size(col)` * `sort_array(col, asc=True)` * `struct(*cols)` ## Sorting * `asc(col)` * `desc(col)` ## Binary * `bitwiseNOT(col)` * `shiftLeft(col, numBits)` * `shiftRight(col, numBits)` * `shiftRightUnsigned(col, numBits)` ## Dealing with null values * `coalesce(*cols)` * `isnan(col)` * `isnull(col)` ## Columns * `col(col) or column(col)` * `create_map(*cols)` * `explode(col)` * `expr(str)` * `hash(*cols)` * `input_file_name()` * `posexplode(col)` * `sha1(col)` * `sha2(col, numBits)` * `soundex(col)` * `spark_partition_id()` ## JSON * `from_json(col, schema, options={})` * `get_json_object(col, path)` * `json_tuple(col, *fields)` * `to_json(col, options={})` ## Checkpoints * `checkpoint(eager=True)` * `localCheckpoint(eager=True)` The `checkpoint()` function is used to temporarily store a DataFrame on disk, whereas `localCheckpoint()` stores them in executor memory. Use the `eager` parameter value to set whether or not the DataFrame is checkpointed immediately (default value is `True`).
