Let's say I have a spark data frame df1
, with several columns (among which the column id
) and data frame df2
with two columns, id
and other
.
Is there a way to replicate the following command
sqlContext.sql("SELECT df1.*, df2.other FROM df1 JOIN df2 ON df1.id = df2.id")
by using only pyspark functions such as join()
, select()
and the like?
I have to implement this join in a function and I don't want to be forced to have sqlContext as a function parameter.
Thanks!

Here is the code snippet that does the inner join and select the columns from both dataframe and alias the same column to different column name.
emp_df = spark.read.csv('Employees.csv', header =True);
dept_df = spark.read.csv('dept.csv', header =True)
emp_dept_df = emp_df.join(dept_df,'DeptID').select(emp_df['*'], dept_df['Name'].alias('DName'))
emp_df.show()
dept_df.show()
emp_dept_df.show()
Output for 'emp_df.show()':

I got an error: 'a not found' using the suggested code:
from pyspark.sql.functions import col df1.alias('a').join(df2.alias('b'),col('b.id') == col('a.id')).select([col('a.'+xx) for xx in a.columns] + [col('b.other1'),col('b.other2')])
I changed a.columns
to df1.columns
and it worked out.
Here is a solution that does not require a SQL context, but maintains the metadata of a DataFrame.
a = sc.parallelize([['a', 'foo'], ['b', 'hem'], ['c', 'haw']]).toDF(['a_id', 'extra'])
b = sc.parallelize([['p1', 'a'], ['p2', 'b'], ['p3', 'c']]).toDF(["other", "b_id"])
c = a.join(b, a.a_id == b.b_id)
Then, c.show()
yields:
+----+-----+-----+----+
|a_id|extra|other|b_id|
+----+-----+-----+----+
| a| foo| p1| a|
| b| hem| p2| b|
| c| haw| p3| c|
+----+-----+-----+----+
You could just make the join and after that select the wanted columns https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html?highlight=dataframe%20join#pyspark.sql.DataFrame.join
def dropDupeDfCols(df): newcols = [] dupcols = []
for i in range(len(df.columns)):
if df.columns[i] not in newcols:
newcols.append(df.columns[i])
else:
dupcols.append(i)
df = df.toDF(*[str(i) for i in range(len(df.columns))])
for dupcol in dupcols:
df = df.drop(str(dupcol))
return df.toDF(*newcols)
I believe that this would be the easiest and most intuitive way:
final = (df1.alias('df1').join(df2.alias('df2'),
on = df1['id'] == df2['id'],
how = 'inner')
.select('df1.*',
'df2.other')
)
drop duplicate b_id
c = a.join(b, a.a_id == b.b_id).drop(b.b_id)
Without using alias.
df1.join(df2, df1.id == df2.id).select(df1["*"],df2["other"])
Asterisk (*
) works with alias. Ex:
from pyspark.sql.functions import *
df1 = df1.alias('df1')
df2 = df2.alias('df2')
df1.join(df2, df1.id == df2.id).select('df1.*')
