R: Add a Unique ID Column to a Spark DataFrame

sdf_with_unique_id {sparklyr} | R Documentation

## Add a Unique ID Column to a Spark DataFrame

### Description

Add a unique ID column to a Spark DataFrame. The Spark `monotonicallyIncreasingId` function is used to produce these and is guaranteed to produce unique, monotonically increasing ids; however, there is no guarantee that these IDs will be sequential. The table is persisted immediately after the column is generated, to ensure that the column is stable – otherwise, it can differ across new computations.

### Usage

    sdf_with_unique_id(x, id = "id")

### Arguments

`x` | A `spark_connection`, `ml_pipeline`, or a `tbl_spark`.
`id` | The name of the column to host the generated IDs.
