Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
withReplacement |
bool, optional | Sample with replacement or not (default False). |

float, optional | Fraction of rows to generate, range [0.0, 1.0]. |
seed |
int, optional | Seed for sampling (default a random seed). |
Returns
DataFrame: Sampled rows from given DataFrame.
Notes

fraction is required and, withReplacement and seed are optional.
Examples
df = spark.range(0, 10, 1, 1)
df.sample(0.5, 3).count()
# 7

# 4
df.sample(withReplacement=True, fraction=0.5, seed=3).count()
# 2
df.sample(1.0).count()
# 10
df.sample(fraction=1.0).count()
# 10
df.sample(False, fraction=1.0).count()
