I have a data frame that looks like this (one column named "value" with a JSON string in it). I send it to an Event Hub using Kafka API and then I want to read that data from the Event Hub and apply some transformations to it. The data is in received in binary format, as described in the Kafka documentation.

Here are a few columns in CSV format:

```
value
"{""id"":""e52f247c-f46c-4021-bc62-e28e56db1ad8"",""latitude"":""34.5016064725731"",""longitude"":""123.43996453687777""}"
"{""id"":""32782100-9b59-49c7-9d56-bb4dfc368a86"",""latitude"":""49.938541626415144"",""longitude"":""111.88360885971986""}"
"{""id"":""a72a600f-2b99-4c41-a388-9a24c00545c0"",""latitude"":""4.988768300413497"",""longitude"":""-141.92727675177588""}"
"{""id"":""5a5f056a-cdfd-4957-8e84-4d5271253509"",""latitude"":""41.802942545247134"",""longitude"":""90.45164573613573""}"
"{""id"":""d00d0926-46eb-45dd-9e35-ab765804340d"",""latitude"":""70.60161063520081"",""longitude"":""20.566520665122482""}"
"{""id"":""dda14397-6922-4bb6-9be3-a1546f08169d"",""latitude"":""68.400462882435"",""longitude"":""135.7167027587489""}"
"{""id"":""c7f13b8a-3468-4bc6-9db4-e0b1b34bf9ea"",""latitude"":""26.04757722355835"",""longitude"":""175.20227554031783""}"
"{""id"":""97f8f1cf-3aa0-49bb-b3d5-05b736e0c883"",""latitude"":""35.52624182094499"",""longitude"":""-164.18066699972852""}"
"{""id"":""6bed49bc-ee93-4ed9-893f-4f51c7b7f703"",""latitude"":""-24.319581484353847"",""longitude"":""85.27338980948076""}"

```

What I want to do is to apply a transformation and create a data frame with 3 columns one with id, one with latitude and one with longitude.
This is what I tried but the result is not what I expected:

```py
from pyspark.sql.types import StructType
from pyspark.sql.functions import from_json
from pyspark.sql import functions as F

# df is the data frame received from Kafka
location_schema = StructType().add("id", "string").add("latitude", "float").add("longitude", "float")
string_df = df.selectExpr("CAST(value AS STRING)").withColumn("value", from_json(F.col("value"), location_schema))
string_df.printSchema()
string_df.show()

```

And this is the result:

It created a "value" column with a structure as a value. Any idea what to do to obtain 3 different columns, as I described?
