How to calculate the size of dataframe in bytes in Spark?

Usingspark.sessionState.executePlan(df.queryExecution.logical).optimizedPlan.stats(spark.sessionState.conf).sizeInBytes we can get the size of actual Dataframe once its loaded into memory. Check the below code.

scala> val df = spark.read.format("orc").load("/tmp/srinivas/")
df: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [channelGrouping: string, clientId: string ... 75 more fields]

scala> import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils

scala> val bytes = spark.sessionState.executePlan(df.queryExecution.logical).optimizedPlan.stats(spark.sessionState.conf).sizeInBytes
bytes: BigInt = 763275709

scala> FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(bytes.toLong)
res5: String = 727 MB

scala> import sys.process._
import sys.process._

scala> "hdfs dfs -ls -h /tmp/srinivas/".!

res6: Int = 0

val bytes = spark.sessionState.executePlan(df.queryExecution.logical).optimizedPlan.stats(spark.sessionState.conf).sizeInBytes
    val dataSize = bytes.toLong
    val numPartitions = (bytes.toLong./(1024.0)./(1024.0)./(10240)).ceil.toInt // May be you can change or modify this to get required partitions.

    df.repartition(if(numPartitions == 0) 1 else numPartitions)
      .[...]

Edit - 1 : Please use the following logic as per your Spark versions.

Spark 2.4

val bytes = spark.sessionState.executePlan(df.queryExecution.logical).optimizedPlan.stats(spark.sessionState.conf).sizeInBytes

Spark 2.3

val bytes = spark.sessionState.executePlan(df.queryExecution.logical).optimizedPlan.stats.sizeInBytes

PySpark

spark._jsparkSession.sessionState().executePlan(df._jdf.queryExecution().logical()).optimizedPlan().stats().sizeInBytes()
