# SplitFields class
<a name="aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-transforms-SplitFields"></a>

Splits a `DynamicFrame` into two new ones, by specified fields.

## Example
<a name="pyspark-SplitFields-examples"></a>

We recommend that you use the [`DynamicFrame.split_fields()`](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame-split_fields) method to split fields in a `DynamicFrame`. To view a code example, see [Example: Use split\$1fields to split selected fields into a separate `DynamicFrame`](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#pyspark-split_fields-example).

<a name="aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-transforms-SplitFields-__call__"></a>

Splits one or more fields in a `DynamicFrame` off into a new `DynamicFrame`, and creates another new `DynamicFrame` that contains the fields that remain.
+ `frame` – The source `DynamicFrame` to split into two new ones (required).
+ `paths` – A list of full paths to the fields to be split (required).
+ `name1` – The name to assign to the `DynamicFrame` that will contain the fields to be split off (optional). If no name is supplied, the name of the source frame is used with "1" appended.
+ `name2` – The name to assign to the `DynamicFrame` that will contain the fields that remain after the specified fields are split off (optional). If no name is provided, the name of the source frame is used with "2" appended.
+ `transformation_ctx` – A unique string that is used to identify state information (optional).
+ `info` – A string associated with errors in the transformation (optional).
+ `stageThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur in the transformation before it errors out (optional). The default is zero.
+ `totalThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur overall before processing errors out (optional). The default is zero.
