Marco Gaido commented on SPARK-26214:
-------------------------------------
You can just use the {{broadcast}} function from
{{org.apache.spark.sql.functions}}: this adds an hint to broadcast the
dataframe. I am not sure why this is not fine for you and where you'd like to
add that, but since there is already a way to do that, I don't think it is a
good idea to introduce a new one.
> Add "broadcast" method to DataFrame
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-26214
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26214
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Thomas Decaux
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: broadcast, dataframe
>
> As discussed at
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43984068/does-spark-sql-autobroadcastjointhreshold-work-for-joins-using-datasets-join-op/43994022,]
> it's possible to force broadcast of DataFrame, even if total size is greater
> than ``*spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold``.*
> But this not trivial for beginner, because there is no "broadcast" method (I
> know, I am lazy ...).
> We could add this method, with a WARN if size is greater than the threshold.
> (if it's an easy one, I could do it?)
