Jean-Marc Spaggiari commented on SPARK-23945:
---------------------------------------------
It is what I ended up doing (with the DataFrame syntax) but might be nice to
have the other syntax option?
> Column.isin() should accept a single-column DataFrame as input

> Key: SPARK-23945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23945
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Nicholas Chammas
> Priority: Minor
>
> In SQL you can filter rows based on the result of a subquery:
> {code:java}
> SELECT *
> FROM table1
> WHERE name NOT IN (
> SELECT name
> FROM table2
> );{code}
> In the Spark DataFrame API, the equivalent would probably look like this:
> {code:java}
> (table1
> .where(
> ~col('name').isin(
> table2.select('name')
> )
> )
> ){code}
> However, .isin() currently [only accepts a local list of
> values|http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html#pyspark.sql.Column.isin].
> I imagine making this enhancement would happen as part of a larger effort to
> support correlated subqueries in the DataFrame API.
> Or perhaps there is no plan to support this style of query in the DataFrame
> API, and queries like this should instead be written in a different way? How
> would we write a query like the one I have above in the DataFrame API,
> without needing to collect values locally for the NOT IN filter?
