This pull request introduces a new feature that enables reading and parsing Email files into a structured Spark DataFrame. Leveraging this functionality allows for efficient processing and analysis of email content, seamlessly integrating with Spark NLP for enhanced downstream natural language processing tasks.
Key Changes
Added sparknlp.read().email() Method: This method accepts file paths or a file path to parse Email content into a Spark DataFrame.
Support for Varied Sources: The method is designed to handle both local directories, distributed file systems containing email files.
Important: Please do not merge this PR until PR #14449 is merged.
Motivation and Context
Structured Data Representation: By transforming raw email content into a well-defined DataFrame structure, we enable seamless integration with Spark’s powerful analytical and data processing capabilities.
Scalability: Leveraging Spark’s distributed architecture, this feature supports the efficient processing of large volumes of email data, which is critical for big data projects.
Simplified Data Manipulation: Working with a structured DataFrame simplifies data manipulation tasks, such as filtering, aggregating, and transforming email content, reducing complexity and improving productivity.
Enhanced Context for LLM Tasks: By organizing email data into structured formats, we can curate and provide more specific, context-rich content for large language model (LLM) prompts. This improves the quality of LLM-generated outputs by allowing for more targeted and relevant contextual information, which is essential for applications like NLU and content generation.
