Re: Do values adjacent to exploded columns get duplicated?

[Anshul Sachdeva]

All the columns except exploded column will be duplicated after explode. As
it joins all the value of exploded column list with other columns.

Hope it clears.

Do values adjacent to exploded columns get duplicated?

[Vitaliy Pisarev]

This is a fairly basic question but I did not find an answer to it anywhere
online:

Suppose I have the following data frame (a and b are column names):

a  |   b
---
1  |[x1,x2,x3,x4] # this is an array


Now I explode column b and logically get:

a  |   b
---
1  |  x1
1  |  x2
1  |  x3
1  |  x4

Are the values in the adjacent columns *actually* duplicated?
