Pyspark-窗口函数的范围介于日期偏移和

给出下面的示例数据，我想为每一行计算过去3天内看到相同“var1”值的行数

_schema = StructType([StructField("date", StringType(), True),
                               StructField("var1", IntegerType(), True),
                         StructField("var2", StringType(), True)])


test_list = [('2017-01-30',123,'A'),
('2017-01-17',123,'B'),
('2017-01-15',123,'A'),
('2017-01-15',123,'A'),
('2017-01-14',123,'A'),
('2017-01-11',123,'B'),
('2017-01-29',456,'A'),
('2017-01-22',789,'B'),
('2017-01-21',789,'B'),
('2017-01-20',789,'A'),
('2017-01-19',789,'A')

]

df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(test_list,schema=_schema) 
df=(df.withColumn('date',df.date.cast(DateType())))

我不知道如何设置rangeBetween，即仅包括var1（例如123）存在且日期为3天前的行，不包括当前日期

wSpec1=Window.partitionBy('var1').orderBy('date').rangeBetween(-3,-1)

df.withColumn("events_past_3days",F.count(df.var2).over(wSpec1))

这给了我一个超出我经验的错误：

我发现一个解决方案是创建一个日期偏移量，并在rangeBetween中使用该数字。我想知道是否有人有其他方法

#add this to have a numeric to use below 
df=(df.withColumn('dayssinceJan11900',datediff(df.date,F.lit(date(1900, 1, 1)))))

wSpec1=Window.partitionBy('var1').orderBy('dayssinceJan11900').rangeBetween(-3,-1)
