Nicholas Chammas created SPARK-23945: ----------------------------------------
Summary: 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 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? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
