I believe this isn’t the intended behavior.

Given what it knows about your datasets, it attempts to choose the most optimal set of steps. On any dataset you can use the .explain() method to print out the steps that Spark will execute to satisfy your query.

Is it possible to make this join more efficient/faster. Rohit
