Spark left_outer join is returning items exist in both list












0















I'm running spark-shell to compare 2 csv files. Each file has the same number of columns and all have 600,000 rows. I'm expecting the 2 files have all the same rows. Here is my script.



val a =
spark
.read
.option("header", "true")
.option("delimiter", "|")
.csv("/tmp/1.csv")
.drop("unwanted_column").
.cache()

val b =
spark
.read
.option("header", "true")
.option("delimiter", "|")
.csv("/tmp/2.csv")
.drop("unwanted_column")
.cache()

val c = a.join(b, Seq("id", "year"), "left_outer").cache()

c.count() // this is returning 600,000


Now I'm trying to find out the difference by randomly picking a line with the same id and year in 2 datasets a and b.



val a1 = a.filter(i => i.get(0).equals("1") && i.get(1).equals("2016")).first()

val b1 = b.filter(i => i.get(0).equals("1") && i.get(1).equals("2016")).first()


Then I try to compare each column in a1 and b1.



(0 to (a1.length -1)).foreach { i =>
if (a1.getString(i) != null && !a1.getString(i).equals(b1.getString(i))) {
System.out.println(i + " = " + a1.getString(i) + " = " + b1.getString(i))
}
}


It didn't print anything. In other words, there is no difference.



I can't tell why c.count() is returning 600,000 like that.

  • Hi @TrongBang, can you be more specific about why it seems like a problem for you? I mean, both lines are equals - why that should imply a problem with the join ?

Sorry guys, I guess it was my fault. Actually I was after a.subtract(b). My purpose is to find out the difference between a and b. I was confused about left_outer join.
